Restaurant Odor and Grease Removal System
In the bustling restaurant scene of San Juan, Puerto Rico, a restaurant chain specialized in the “better burger” faced persistent problems—overwhelming cooking odors and grease buildup in the kitchen exhaust system. As a second-floor tenant in a mixed-use building, these issues strained the restaurant’s relationship with nearby residents and escalated maintenance costs.
The Problem
Grease Build-Up & Persistent Cooking Odors– Every week, a staff member had to manually clean grease accumulation in the ductwork due to the high volume of cooking. Residents complained about strong kitchen odors seeping into their living spaces, raising concerns about air quality, fire safety, and general comfort.

During an inspection, our local distributor from Refricentro recommended the OGR system by Biozone Scientific. The system’s reputation for cutting-edge odor control and grease reduction impressed the management, who witnessed its success firsthand at a neighboring restaurant.
