With the average adult breathing in 15,000 litres of air every day, the way our space is laid out, the environment in which we work are all important factors in efficiency and productivity. Scent is one such prominent factor as it ensures focus, encourages motivation, generates a sense of release and overall creates better well-being and it's no secret that the need for clean air is vital to our health.

 

The sense of smell is a powerful thing, being one of our five vital senses. The effect of fragrance on our consciousness is not to be under-estimated as fragrances have shown to be responsible for affecting mood and signalling cleanliness; they can motivate us, relieve stress or simply create a general sense of wellbeing.


PuraAir’s research has gone to show that improving air ambience increases calmness and creates a lasting impression on people, making people want to stay longer in places where there is a pleasant-smelling atmosphere and they will make a positive subconscious connection with that business.


But, where does BAD odour emanate from?

 

On larger scales or in commercial spaces, the generation of mass quantities of odour can emanate from high-rise apartment garbage chutes, garbage compactor systems, garbage bin collection areas, grease trap rooms, wastewater rooms, wet food waste areas, etc; creating the need for more intensive odour control methods and machinery. 


However, odour control is also required on smaller scales in places such as hotels and apartment foyers, board/ convention rooms, entertainment areas, learning centres, fitness centres & day spas, bars and clubs, retail stores, medical practices, aged care facilities, common areas etc; where more compact and portable scent solutions can be applied to manage odour.

 

So, how can you control odours? 

 

PuraAir’s High-Performance Commercial Odour Control System Series works to eliminate unwanted odours and destroys bacteria and viruses by utilising an ultraviolet ray UVC germicidal lamp and UV Lamp ozone generating technologies.


Pura air’s solution.

1.      Commercial odour control systems 
 
The
UVC Series 1000 is PuraAir’s best quality high-performance commercial odour control system. It eliminates unwanted odours and destroys bacteria and viruses by utilising an ultraviolet ray UVC germicidal lamp using UV Lamp ozone generating technologies. Odour control systems as such are guaranteed for a continuous long working life of 9000-12000 hours, with the machine working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, keeping your air clean for around 500 days! Additionally, the lamps are powered by a smart digital ballast with a pre-heat function extending the life of these components. 
Through a process called irradiation, PuraAir’s air sanitation process filters airborne dust through active carbon filters as it draws in unwanted odours from areas under treatment. These odours then enter the UVC germicidal light chamber where the odour control process begins. 
The micro-organisms subsequently come in contact with the UVC germicidal lightwave, changing their DNA and destroying them and eliminating the smell. This method has been shown in laboratory environments to disrupt the DNA of microorganisms and thus to be able to inactivate viral, bacterial and fungal organisms.
 

2.     Pura scent professional scenting systems
 
PuraScenting enables you to naturally discover and experience the power of scent, whether you are looking for a permanent discrete HVAC installation or a portable vapour system, we have the scenting solution ranging through professional scenting solutions utilising PuraScent diffusers and PortaScent vapour technology systems.
PuraScent is efficient, low maintenance and cost-effective. It can be connected directly into your air conditioning system or fresh air supply for the common area, and a large variety of fragrances are available.
 
Additionally, PuraAir also has Portable Room Deodorisers that can be easily moved from room to room and used on an as-needed basis with a range of pleasant scents available.


So, get on board with PuraAir and their odour controlling practices made possible with commercial odour control systems and professional scenting systems.

Grease traps are essential for any commercial kitchen or food service business, but without proper maintenance, they can quickly become a source of unpleasant, lingering odours. These smells are typically caused by the buildup of fats, oils, and grease (commonly referred to as FOG), and if not addressed, they can become more than just a nuisance — they can pose a health hazard and damage your brand's reputation. 5 Ways to Control Grease Trap Odours 1. Clean the Grease Trap Regularly Routine cleaning is the first and most crucial step. Depending on your usage, schedule a thorough cleaning at least once a month. Heavy-use kitchens may require more frequent cleanings to prevent FOG buildup and control odours. 2. Use Hot Water and Degreaser Flushing the grease trap with hot water and a strong degreaser breaks down stubborn grease layers and kills odour-causing bacteria. This should be part of your deep-cleaning routine. 3. Add Bacteria-Based Cleaners These biological treatments introduce safe, effective bacteria that actively break down FOG and neutralise smells. They’re eco-friendly and a smart way to maintain grease traps between physical cleanings. 4. Check the Venting System Improper or blocked venting can cause odours to escape into your kitchen or dining area. Ensure your grease trap is properly ventilated to direct odours safely away from customer-facing areas. 5. Install an Odour Control System Odours often persist when all the above measures are taken this is why PuraAir has so many contracts all around Australia to effectively neutralise odours in grease traps. It may be time to upgrade your odour control strategy – and PuraAir has the experience and expertise to tailor a solution to your needs. How PuraAir Helps Eliminate Odours at the Source At PuraAir , we specialise in advanced odour control solutions tailored for commercial environments — including those stubborn smells from grease traps. Here's how we can help: Odour Control Units with Activated Carbon: Our systems are designed to absorb and neutralise airborne FOG particles using high efficiency activated carbon filters. These units are compact, discreet, and ideal for use in kitchens and waste storage areas. Ozone-Based Treatment: Our ozone generators provide a powerful, chemical-free way to oxidise and neutralise odour molecules. This is especially effective for persistent smells in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. Scent Diffusion Systems: Complement your odour control with a pleasant ambient fragrance. PuraAir’s scent diffusers can mask and elevate the environment, offering a more inviting atmosphere for both staff and guests. Custom Maintenance Plans: We offer personalised service schedules to ensure your odour control systems continue working at peak efficiency — especially in high-use commercial kitchens.
