What Is a PCU (Pollution Control Unit)?

A PCU, or precipitator, is an advanced filtration system installed in your kitchen exhaust line to remove grease particles, smoke, and odors before they exit your ductwork and enter the outside air.

PCUs typically include:

  • Electrostatic Precipitator Cells
    Carbon Filtration Units
    UV-C Technology (optional)
    HEPA or final filters

Regular cleaning and maintenance are critical for performance and compliance.
