Ozone Odour Control Unit for Commercial Kitchen Ventilation

Controlled, planning-aware odour treatment for demanding kitchen environments.

Commercial kitchens generate grease aerosols, smoke and odorous compounds that are increasingly difficult to discharge — particularly in urban locations or sites close to residential properties. This ozone odour control unit is engineered to treat odours within the extract system, helping reduce nuisance emissions, limit grease carry-over in ductwork, and support acceptance by local planning authorities.

This is a controlled, engineered solution for commercial kitchen ventilation systems not an uncontrolled ozone generator.

How the system works

A precisely regulated dose of ozone (O₃) is injected directly into the kitchen extract airstream. As contaminated air travels through the ductwork, ozone reacts with grease aerosols, smoke particulates and odour-causing VOCs, oxidising them into simpler, less odorous compounds before discharge.

Unlike basic ozone systems, output is variable and airflow-matched. The unit adjusts ozone generation in response to extract system operation, ensuring effective treatment without unnecessary or uncontrolled dosing.

• Ozone output modulates to match extract airflow
• Dosing increases or reduces automatically as air volume changes
• No continuous or uncontrolled ozone production

Designed for safety, control and compliance

This unit is designed specifically for integration into commercial kitchen extract systems, with operational safety and regulatory expectations considered from the outset.

• Interlocked with extract fan operation – ozone is generated only when airflow is present
• Airflow-matched dosing – prevents over-treatment during low-flow or idle conditions
• Pressure-switch or electrical interlock options (PLC / inverter fan-run)
• Clear visual status indication – power and active dosing lamps
• In-duct treatment – ozone reacts within the extract system, not within the kitchen space

When specified correctly as part of an overall odour control strategy, these features make the system suitable for use in planning-sensitive environments.

Why ozone is effective in real kitchens

• Highly effective against grease-borne cooking odours
• Reduces grease deposition within downstream ductwork
• Compact, in-line installation with no large external plant
• Can operate standalone or alongside filtration and carbon systems

For many commercial kitchens, ozone provides the missing layer of control between theoretical compliance and real-world odour performance.

Model range

• Model O-1.0 – for extract systems up to 1.0 m³/s
• Model O-2.0 – for extract systems up to 2.0 m³/s
• Industrial / Custom Model – engineered solutions up to 4.0 m³/s

Each unit features variable ozone output matched to system airflow and can be configured to suit the duty level, operating hours and odour risk of the application.

Build quality & integration

Designed for continuous commercial operation, the unit is housed in a robust stainless steel enclosure suitable for kitchen or plantroom mounting, with minimal moving parts and a straightforward electrical interface.

• Stainless steel enclosure suitable for commercial kitchen environments
• Low-maintenance design
• Pre-purge functionality available
• Simple integration into new or existing extract systems

For installers and trade customers

This unit is designed to be easy to specify, install and defend. Clear interlocking logic, predictable behaviour, and sensible documentation reduce commissioning time and call-backs.

• Designed for resale by ventilation and M&E contractors
• Simple electrical interfaces (pressure switch or PLC/fan-run)
• Supports planning submissions and odour-control method statements
• Consistent, repeatable performance across sites

Built for trade. Designed to avoid problems later.
