[Case Study] Eliminating Kitchen Grease Odors in Hotels | AIC Grease Ozonizer
CASE STUDY: Hotels & Inns (Kitchens / Restaurants)
Completely Shutting Out “Odor Leaks" to the Hotel Lobby.
Solving Large-Scale Kitchen Grease Trap Cleaning and Odor Troubles with Ozone.
Installed Model: AIC Grease Ozonizer®
■ Before Installation: “Foul Odors Leaking from the Kitchen" Degrading Guest Experience
(Photo: A hotel kitchen grease trap prone to massive grease accumulation.)
The main restaurant of a hotel serves numerous guests daily. Due to the massive amounts of oil and food residue discharged, the kitchen’s grease trap was constantly generating a severe, putrid odor. The most critical issue was that this drainage odor was leaking through the HVAC system into public spaces like the “lobby" and “guest rooms," creating a severe risk of complaints that would significantly ruin the guest experience.
- Loss of Brand Value: Complaints from guests and negative reviews on social media due to bad smells.
- Exorbitant Maintenance Costs: High expenses from frequent professional vacuum pumping services.
- Staff Exhaustion: High turnover risk due to the grueling task of scooping out grease in a harsh environment.
■ The Decisive Factor: Technology That “Eliminates" Odors at the Source, Not Just “Masking" Them
Air fresheners and simple deodorizers offered no fundamental solution. The AIC Grease Ozonizer® utilizes the powerful oxidizing force of ozone (O3) generated from the air to “liquefy and decompose the very fats and oils" that cause the odors. This overwhelming purification capability—physically eradicating the source of the smell—was the primary reason it was adopted by a hotel striving for the highest standards of hospitality.
■ Post-Installation Results: Zero Odor Leaks and a Massive Cut in Vacuum Pumping Costs

Immediately after installation, the kitchen staff noticed the effects. The unpleasant, putrid odors that used to drift into the lobby were completely shut out.
Furthermore, the thick layer of lard (solidified fat) covering the water’s surface transformed into a smooth liquid, resolving pipe blockage issues. They were able to dramatically reduce the frequency of expensive vacuum pumping by external contractors, achieving such significant cost reductions that the initial investment was quickly recouped.
