A solution instead of closure: oil and smoke odour can be eliminated even in underpasses

Technical article Published: Updated:

News recently broke that the capital is introducing new regulations for kitchens operating in underpasses. Those who cannot properly arrange the removal of used oil and do not provide adequate air purification and odour neutralisation in their outlets will no longer receive a licence to operate.

The news is significant and has caused quite a stir, as it affects many small businesses and therefore the livelihoods of many families, but it may also strike a chord with those who pass through these underpasses every day and for whom stopping at the lángos and gyros stalls – often operating on site for decades – is part of their daily routine.

 

The problem is real. But is closure really the solution?


We do not wish to deny that smoke and oil odours lingering in enclosed spaces are unpleasant – in fact, we go further! Numerous studies confirm that the gases, vapours and smoke produced in kitchens can even be harmful to health in the long term.

Kitchen vapours and fumes contain more than 300 kinds of harmful substances, a significant share of which are proven carcinogens. This can affect not only kitchen staff but also people near the kitchen.

So the problem must inevitably be eliminated, but we believe that in the long term the solution is certainly not withdrawing permits and shutting down long-established catering outlets – especially since this difficulty can now be remedied easily and cost-effectively thanks to innovative technologies.

 

Our alternative to closure: an electrostatic kitchen air filtration and deodorising system


Thanks to electrostatic technology, NUXON AirQuality kitchen air purification and deodorising systems can separate harmful particles from kitchen smoke and also neutralise odours.

The method is based on electrostatic filtration, known worldwide, which can help eliminate the nuisance and harm caused by kitchen vapours and gases in an innovative, environmentally friendly and cost-effective way.

 

How does it work?


Electrostatic filtration is easy to install, can even be integrated into existing HVAC (air conditioning and ventilation) systems, and requires no costly maintenance after installation.

In use, airborne pollutant particles are captured by an easy-to-clean, extremely long-lasting filter made of metal plates. This filter does not significantly affect the airflow velocity, so its operating cost is much lower than that of conventional filters. In addition, the amount of secondary waste is orders of magnitude smaller than with standard filters, which makes it an excellent solution from an environmental point of view too.

Combined with UV lamp or activated carbon odour neutralisation, electrostatic filtration can filter out up to 90% of kitchen odours.

NUXON AirQuality electrostatic combined units therefore offer an efficient and sustainable solution with low long-term maintenance costs for kitchen air purification and odour neutralisation. This can be a quick and sustainable solution for small businesses that would otherwise be forced to close in the suddenly changed regulatory environment!
