Description:
Summary/Accomplishments (Outputs/Outcomes):
Conclusions:
The filtration technology demonstrated under this program provides high efficiency particulate filtration and high levels of VOC reduction without significantly increasing ventilation operating costs. In addition to reducing exhaust emissions, the ability to intercept grease particulates at the entrance point of the exhaust hood will significantly reduce in-duct grease accumulation, thereby reducing maintenance costs and reducing the risk of duct fires.
