Restaurant Grease And Odour Solution Using OGR

In the hospitality industry, grease buildup and unpleasant kitchen odours aren’t just nuisances — they’re profit-draining, reputation-damaging, and regulatory liabilities. Whether you run a fast-paced hotel kitchen, a bustling BBQ restaurant, or a high-end dining venue, controlling airborne grease and smells is critical to maintaining a clean, safe, and guest-friendly environment.

That’s why this Restaurant, located inside a Luxury hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, turned to Biozone Scientific’s Odour & Grease Removal (OGR) system — a breakthrough technology in automated kitchen air purification.

The Challenge: A Hot Kitchen, Heavy Traffic, And Constant Cleaning

With over 150 guests served daily, the kitchen was under pressure. Despite frequent manual cleaning using chemicals and water, grease clung to hood interiors and odours lingered in dining and prep areas. Staff reported inconsistent results, high labor costs, and no long-term control over airborne contaminants.

Their cleaning routine was reactive, time-consuming, and expensive — but still left them vulnerable to complaints and hygiene issues.

The Solution: Installing Biozone’s OGR System — No Filters, No Chemicals

The Hotel’s restaurant implemented Biozone Scientific’s OGR (Odour & Grease Removal) system — an in-hood, fully automated technology that tackles grease particles and odour molecules at the source, around the clock.

The decision wasn’t made lightly. The restaurant’s General Manager had already seen OGR in action elsewhere — and trusted the technology to deliver measurable results.

What Changed? Key Benefits Of The OGR System


 98% Odour Neutralization

 95% Grease Elimination

 80% Maintenance Cost Savings

In just weeks, the restaurant’s team saw significant improvements:

  • Cleaner Hoods and Ducts: Grease no longer accumulated in hard-to-reach areas.
  • Fresh-Smelling Spaces: Odours were neutralized before they reached guests.
  • Less Downtime: With fewer manual cleanings, staff focused more on service.
  • Long-Term Hygiene: A proactive, preventative solution that improved kitchen air quality and food safety.

As a result, the restaurant quoted OGR systems for two additional locations.




“I am very happy with the OGR system because it solved a major grease and odour problem for me. It also reduced maintenance costs.”

– Restaurant’s General Manager

Why Traditional Grease Traps And Chemicals Aren’t Enough

While grease traps are standard, they don’t address airborne grease vapours — the stuff that causes sticky surfaces, duct contamination, and foul smells. Chemical fogging, pressure washing, and degreasers are temporary fixes that:

  • Require kitchen downtime
  • Contribute to water waste and pollution
  • Add recurring labour and disposal costs

Biozone’s OGR system works continuously, without filters or chemicals. It uses advanced UV-based Photoplasma™ technology to break down grease particles and odour compounds before they build up.

What Makes OGR A Smart Investment For The Hospitality Industry?

If you manage a restaurant, hotel kitchen, or quick-service chain, here’s what OGR delivers:

FeatureBenefit
No Chemicals or FiltersEco-friendly and low maintenance
Retrofits to Existing HoodsNo need for full kitchen redesign
ROI in Hygiene + LabourFewer cleanings, better staff efficiency

Who’s Using It?

OGR is already trusted by restaurants across the world, and growing in adoption across high-end hotels, food courts, and high-traffic dining environments — where efficiency, compliance, and reputation matter.
