These include :<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Air pollutants, such as cooking fumes and grease, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Biological pollutants<\/strong>, such as viruses, allergens and bacteria, which can be spread on food;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Olfactory nuisances that can irritate kitchen brigades and detract from the customer experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The quality of indoor air is of prime importance not only for the health and productivity of staff, but also for a better shopping experience. Bar and restaurant owners are choosing to install a <a href=\"https:\/\/obera.fr\/en\/produits\/purificateurs-air\/\">professional air purifier<\/a> to guarantee a constant flow of clean air, where air conditioning systems circulate poorly filtered air.   <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>&#8220;However, it&#8217;s important to choose the right air purifier. Not all devices are certified to <strong>capture and eliminate the <\/strong>finest <strong>particles <\/strong>, which are the most harmful. <\/em> <em>Just as it&#8217;s essential to opt for a sanitizer powerful enough to cover the entire surface area of your restaurant. That&#8217;s why we offer a variety of purifiers with <strong>customizable filtration systems <\/strong>and different power ratings to cover surfaces ranging from 20m2 to over 1,000m2. <\/em>  &#8220;says Thibaut Samsel, General Manager of OberA and air treatment specialist for over 20 years.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restaurant air purifiers: the most suitable filters for the tertiary sector<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Air purification filter: activated carbon<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Activated carbon is a <\/strong>porous <strong>material <\/strong>with a high absorption capacity. It is particularly effective at capturing gaseous pollutants and particles such as VOCs (components harmful to health), odorous gases and fine particles.   <\/p>\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why OberA air purifiers <a href=\"https:\/\/obera.fr\/en\/our-tips\/solutions-pour-traiter-solvants-adsorption-charbon-actif\/\">feature activated carbon filters <\/a>to absorb odors. In addition, other filtration stages can be configured to meet your specific requirements.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HEPA-classified filter<\/h3>\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/obera.fr\/en\/our-tips\/filtre-hepa-et-purificateur-d-air\/\">HEPA filter<\/a> (high-efficiency air filter)<strong>eliminates fine molecules in the 0.1 micrometer range<\/strong>. These include viruses and bacteria, as is the case with the Covid to purify the air in your restaurant and prevent the spread of infections.   <\/p>\n\n<p>HEPA 14 filtration captures and eliminates up to 99.995% of viruses and bacteria.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Air filters F7, F8, F9, G3, M5, M6<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Air filters are classified<\/strong>according to their efficiency in capturing airborne particles.  <\/p>\n\n<p>While G3 filters capture coarse particles (dust, lint), F7 to F9 filters capture fine particles and aerosols with a diameter of less than 2.5 microns (air pollution).  <\/p>\n\n<p>M5 and M6 classifications are dedicated to the filtration of pollutants such as pollen, mold spores and smoke.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customized air purifiers: filter configuration by OberA<\/h3>\n\n<p>We support our restaurant and hotel customers in<strong> configuring their professional activated carbon air purifiers<\/strong>. Depending on the model chosen, up to 4 levels of filtration can be added to successively treat the different particle sizes present in the air. For restaurateurs, we generally configure purifiers to<strong> treat viruses and bacteria<\/strong>, smoke, odors and dust.  <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>OberA tip: to make your air purifier more effective in treating the <strong>pollutants emitted by your restaurant<\/strong>, there&#8217;s another criterion to consider: its power. The equipment must have a flow rate powerful enough to cover the surface to be purified.   <\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restaurant air purifiers: the OberA selection  <\/h2>\n\n<h3
