Air Pollution Unit Suits Commercial Kitchen Ventilation - Wet Scrubber

Updated: Oct 7, 2023

The CKV HydroDynamic Scrubberâ„¢ is Suitable for 24/7 Cooking Operations


Suitable for 24/7 operations, CKV HydroDynamic Scrubberâ„¢ is a wet scrubber that removes grease, smoke, and odor from commercial cooking process to reduce or eliminate chances of fire damage, grease-induced deterioration of rubber roofing, stains on building exterior, and contaminated HVAC coils. Using an approach suited to air-stream pollutants, the system effectively removes grease particulate and grease vapors in commercial kitchen ventilation (CKV) operations.


Designed for commercial kitchen ventilation, the CKV HydroDynamic Scrubberâ„¢ removes grease, smoke, and odor from the commercial cooking process.


Each year, commercial cooking operations cause more than $100 million dollars in fire damage to property. Other damage includes grease-induced deterioration of rubber roofing, stains on the building exterior, and contaminated HVAC coils resulting in high maintenance and energy costs.


According to a 2006 white paper report commissioned by Food Service Consultants Society International (FSCI), current technology for CKV grease removal is far less than 50% efficient at grease removal.


The commercial cooking process generates grease in the form of tiny droplets (particulate matter) and grease vapors (gas or condensable PM). Impingement-style filters and baffles are less than 50% efficient at capturing particulate matter (PM) greater than 2.5 microns in size. Filtration efficiency on grease particles is less than 2.5 microns and grease vapors is near zero.


The U.S. EPA has designated certain areas throughout the country as non-attainment areas. These low-lying areas such as river basins and mountain valleys allow these fine particulates to settle out during temperature inversions and calm atmospheric conditions. PM 2.5 or respirable particulate is considered an environmental health hazard because the small particulate cannot be expelled by the lungs.


How do we capture the grease droplets and vapor current CKV equipment exhausts into the atmosphere? The CKV HydroDynamic Scrubberâ„¢ uses an approach suited to the airstreams' pollutants. This technology becomes an ideal solution for grease, smoke, and odor. The CKV HydroDynamic Scrubberâ„¢ is highly effective in the removal of grease particulate and grease vapors in CKV operations.
