Kitchen noise and odour control solutions

Many commercial kitchens are located where neighbours or residents may be affected by the noise of extraction fans or the odours released in the extracted air. In these circumstances it is good practice to design a kitchen extraction system which allows these nuisances to be controlled and moderated regardless of whether or not such measures are required under planning conditions.

We generally follow the approaches outlined in Guidance on the Control of Odour and Noise from Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Systems (Defra 2005) to design the correct solution for each application.

BW Fabrications has many years of experience in designing effective noise control systems for the commercial catering industry

The principle measures to be considered and applied where appropriate would be:

Fan selection and location
Acoustic enclosures for fans
Anti-vibration mountings and fan connections
Ductwork design and routing
Silencers
Low-noise terminations (cowls and louvres)

When it comes to kitchen odour control systems, BWF can design and install systems that utilise the full range of measures available:

Location and design of outlets to maximise dispersion,
Activated carbon filter blocks,
Electrostatic Precipitators and
Ultra-violet systems
