  • This invention yet further relates to a method of treating pollutants in a gas stream and to a method of generating a corona discharge.
  • Smoke and other gas effluents emanating from restaurants and other food preparation facilities present an air pollution problem and such emissions are therefore strictly regulated in urban areas.
  • restaurants are often forced either to select locations where the emissions are not likely to be offensive and which locations are not always the best from a business point of view, or to install high chimneys to channel emissions to an elevated level.
  • a conventional method of treating a restaurant effluent gas stream includes the step of filtering the effluent stream through a particulate and activated charcoal filter.
  • a disadvantage of this method is that the charcoal has to be replaced quite often owing to clogging of the pores of the charcoal by oil present in the
  • Another known method for treating a restaurant effluent gas stream includes the step of passing the effluent stream through an incinerator.
  • a disadvantage thereof is that an incinerator is relatively expensive to buy and to operate.
  • USA patent number 5,827,407 discloses a system for the treatment of gaseous pollutants, which utilises a corona discharge to destroy volatile organic compounds and biological matter.

In cold regions, the large volume of hot air that is extracted from the restaurant cools the inside of the restaurant off, thus counteracting the heating effect of heaters and fireplaces.

  • the oil 130 adsorbs and absorbs many gaseous species, and forms a sticky surface that improves the adhesion probability of particles hitting the surfaces.
  • the velocity of the air stream and the corona discharge causes a fine mist of cleaning oil particles, which follows the air stream through the filtration unit 16.
  • the oil drift eliminator 113 collects the oil mist and restricts the mist from exiting the filtration unit 16.
  • corona discharge units 16 can be arranged in series or parallel, or a combination of both, with the air flow split equally between the corona discharge units 16. It will be appreciated further that the number (and geometry) of discharge units 16 that are required is determined by the volume of airflow to be treated and the nature and concentration of pollutants in the gas stream.
  • the filtering device 10 can be applied to various cooking facilities such as deep oil frying, open flame grilling, hot plate frying and the like. It is further envisaged that it will be possible to use the filtering device 10 with small frying pans or grills in indoor applications, such as where a piece of meat is fried for a client while he is seated at his table in a restaurant, next to his table, without unwanted emissions into the restaurant's atmosphere. It will be appreciated that the filtering device 10 can also be adapted for use in a household environment such as with stoves, mobile indoor barbecue units, and the like.
