From research lab
to commercial standard
The technology behind Lynx Kitchen has its roots in Norwegian oil and gas technology for centrifugal separation, further developed for commercial kitchen ventilation with patent priority in 2009. A centrifugal grease separator that rotates grease residues out of the ventilation air at extremely high centrifugal force, far beyond the industry's passive systems.
DNV conducted an independent risk assessment in 2012. NTNU contributed FTIR spectroscopy research. In 2019, Absolent Group paid 127 MSEK for a technologically inferior competing solution — a direct market validation.
In 2020, the first installation was completed at Lager 11 in Trondheim. Five years of camera-documented, uninterrupted operation without duct cleaning. In 2025, Lynx Kitchen received the NEMITEK Innovation Award (HVAC Project of the Year, Trøndelag).

Our journey
From patent priority in 2009 to field-documented commercial standard.
2009
Patent priority
Patent NO20092260 filed with priority date 2009. The foundation for centrifugal grease separation in ventilation ducts is laid.
2012
DNV risk assessment
Det Norske Veritas (DNV) conducts an independent risk assessment of the technology and confirms the documentation basis.
2019
Market validation
Absolent Group pays 127 MSEK for a technologically inferior competing solution — a direct external validation of market value.
2020
Lager 11, Trondheim — first installation
First installation completed at Lager 11 in Trondheim. The start of five years of camera-documented, uninterrupted operation without duct cleaning.
2021
Divisional patent PCT
Divisional patent PCT/EP2021/080260 filed. The patent now covers 10 jurisdictions with expiry in 2029–2030.
2023
Burger King City Syd
Installation at Burger King City Syd. Measured output: 3–5 kg of grease removed per hood per year — documented by the operator.
2024
Oslo Airport — field measurement
Field measurement at Oslo Airport with Caverion. Result: "the ducts are still clean after 1 year" — independent field documentation.
2025
NEMITEK Innovation Award
Lynx Kitchen awarded HVAC Project of the Year by NemiTek in the Trøndelag region for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions.
The technology behind Lynx Kitchen
Three pillars form the foundation of Lynx Kitchen's technology — research, patent, and field documentation.
Research
NTNU FTIR spectroscopy revealed the grease chemistry in ventilation air. DNV conducted an independent risk assessment in 2012. SINTEF and Camfil confirmed 100% separation of liquid particles down to 0.3 µm in the laboratory.
Patent
Patent NO20092260 (priority date 2009) has been approved in 10 jurisdictions. Divisional patent PCT/EP2021/080260 was filed in 2021. The patents run until 2029–2030.
Field
Lager 11, Trondheim: 5 years of uninterrupted operation, camera-documented. Oslo Airport with Caverion: "the ducts are still clean after 1 year". Burger King City Syd: 3–5 kg of grease removed per hood per year.
