20 FEDA News & Views ➤ Carefully review any projects with solid-fuel cooking and try to discour- age customers from installing wood- fi red equipment without proper smoke and odor control—regardless of current code requirements. If cus- tomers don't want to install a pol- lution/odor control system, inform them (in writing) of your concerns and encourage development of a backup plan that will allow a system to be installed in the future. Without a backup plan, customers could very well be forced to close down over lawsuits or new regulations and lose all of their investment. All of these solutions are effective ways to control odor issues with foodservice operations. The most important advice, however, is to plan for and install proper ventilation at the beginning of a project. Fixing this problem afterwards is diffi cult, time-consuming and expensive.

These systems work best when the grease hood is self-clean- ing or uses Ultraviolet (UV) technol- ogy to remove the Agrease from the air stream. The side benefi t of UV is odor reduction. It can reduce up to 50 percent of food odors from heavy cooking, charbroiling, or wok cooking. Once most of the grease is removed, exhaust the air through odor mitigation fi lter media. This last step is expensive but provides very effective odor control. Trash container coolers, like the one manufactured by Infi nity, replace the need for a separate refrigerated trash room or walk-in cooler in smaller kitchens.
