Grease Separation in Kitchen Exhaust

Grease separation plays a critical role in commercial kitchen ventilation. This article by Fredrik Eriksson at Sveriges Skorstensfejaremästares Riksförbund (SSR) examines different technologies used to separate grease from kitchen exhaust air, including mechanical filters, ozone and UV treatment, electrostatic filters, and active mechanical grease separators.

The article also explores how particle size and airflow affect separation performance, and highlights the importance of correctly designed and maintained ventilation systems. Particular attention is given to rotating separation systems, where centrifugal force is used to efficiently remove grease particles from the exhaust air.

The article provides an overview of current technologies and their practical considerations in commercial kitchen ventilation.
