The Hidden Risk of Grease Build-Up
Progressive grease accumulation
Grease builds up inside ductwork, restricting airflow, causing odours, and increasing fire risk.
Reactive, access-heavy cleaning
Manual cleaning, chemical degreasers, and reactive maintenance are costly, disruptive, and don't stop grease returning.
Restricted airflow and performance
Grease build-up restricts airflow, increases fan load, and reduces system efficiency.
Inaccessible and high-risk areas
Many duct runs require specialist access, making manual cleaning costly, infrequent, and leaving sections unmanaged.
How Ecofix Works
1
Biological mist introduced
Biologically active droplets are continuously generated and introduced directly into the kitchen extract and ventilation system.
2
Droplets adhere to grease
The mist droplets adhere to grease, oils, and fats on all internal duct surfaces — making contact with deposits across the full system.
3
Bacteria consume the grease
Selected Class 1 bacteria consume grease and volatile fatty acids — the same compounds responsible for persistent extraction odours.
4
Safe by-products expelled
Grease is converted into water, CO₂, and a minimal biomass residue. The residue is safely expelled with the airflow and absorbed naturally.
Independent testing. Verified results.
By continuously removing grease from internal duct surfaces, Ecofix significantly reduces the amount of combustible material present within the kitchen extract system.
Standard kitchen grease
~200°C
Ignition temperature
Standard kitchen grease deposits found in unmanaged extract ductwork ignite at approximately 200°C — a temperature routinely reached in commercial kitchen environments.
Ecofix residual biomass
500°C
Tested to — without ignition
The residual biomass produced by the Ecofix biological process was independently tested to 500°C without ignition — representing a substantial reduction in fire load within protected systems.

A Cleaner & Safer Alternative
Unlike UV, ozonolysis, or electrostatic precipitation systems, Ecofix treats grease inside the ductwork itself - providing continuous, reliable control without the drawbacks.
Ecofix
-
No radicals, ozone, or reactive species released
-
No high daily energy consumption
-
Only CO₂ and water as reaction products
-
Treats grease inside the ductwork directly
-
Consistent real-world performance
UV / Electrostatic systems
-
Can release ozone and reactive species
-
Often high energy consumption
-
Require very long duct paths to be effective
-
Inconsistent real-world performance
-
Do not treat grease within the ductwork itself
Common Questions
Yes. The residual biomass produced by the Ecofix biological process has been independently tested to 500°C without ignition. By continuously removing grease from internal duct surfaces, Ecofix significantly reduces the amount of combustible material present within the system — resulting in a substantial reduction in fire load.
Ecofix supports TR19 compliance by maintaining kitchen extract ductwork in a cleaner condition between inspections and reducing grease accumulation. It continuously controls grease build-up at source, extends manual cleaning intervals, and supports compliance in areas where access is restricted. Ecofix does not replace statutory inspection requirements but plays an important role in maintaining hygiene standards and reducing risk between scheduled PPM cleans.
Yes. Ecofix uses Class 1, naturally occurring bacteria specifically selected for their ability to digest grease and volatile fatty acids. They consume grease and odour-causing compounds and break organic matter down into carbon dioxide and water — producing no hazardous, toxic, or reactive by-products. Safe for pipework, people, and the wider environment.
Unlike UV, ozonolysis, or electrostatic precipitation systems, Ecofix does not release radicals, ozone, or reactive species, does not rely on high daily energy consumption, and produces only CO₂ and water. UV and ESP systems often require very long duct paths to be effective and can deliver inconsistent real-world performance. Ecofix treats grease inside the ductwork itself, providing continuous, reliable control.
Yes. Ecofix can be designed to suit site-specific access constraints — including installation within internal or external risers and targeted treatment of discharge risers. In many cases, Ecofix has allowed access-heavy cleaning intervals to be extended from 12 months to up to 36 months where conditions allow, with the remainder of the system managed through standard PPM cleaning.
