Omni Containment Systems Visits Teinnova in Spain

Omni Containment Systems Visits Teinnova in Spain

Four years ago, Omni Containment Systems partnered with Teinnova , a Spanish manufacturing company; this made us the sole North American distributor of their Tegras hood cleaning system. Our goal here at Omni has always been to provide products that will keep restaurants and people safe, are easy to use, and efficient. Our partnership with Teinnova helps us achieve that goal, and after our initial launch of the Tegras concept here in North America, the power of innovation continues to thrive through this partnership.

Last month, the Omni Containment Systems’ team traveled to Spain to strengthen this partnership even further. One of the main goals of the trip was to gain factory-certified technicians for Tegras North America! Jeff Stinek, our Technical Support Manager, and Gary Weldon, our Tegras North America Salesperson, trained directly with the Teinnova technical assistance services to become factory-certified technicians for the Tegras concept ! This will provide an essential service to those who have purchased the equipment here in the U.S. If a warranty issue arises, our certified technicians will be able to service these systems directly here in the United States.

Our partnership with Teinnova helps us achieve our goals in innovation. The Tegras concept helps our clients minimize their time spent at each kitchen exhaust cleaning, is easy to use, protects their team, and saves them money. This spirit of innovation is what attracted Omni Containment Systems to be the sole North American distributor of the Tegras hood cleaning system. Kitchen exhaust cleaners who have made the Tegras concept their new partner in power washing have quickly felt the innovation and benefits of moving to automated cleaning. Karl Riekstins of Grexen had this to say about the Tegras concept, “Thank you for doing this! Teinnova ROCKS! This is the biggest technological advancement in KEC since the invention of the power washer!”

While the Omni Containment Systems’ team was in Spain, they were able to film a backstage tour of Teinnova and conducted an exclusive interview:

  1. What does your company do and where are you located?

Teinnova is a Spanish company, pioneer, and leader in the design and manufacture of equipment for the professional cleaning of kitchens´ systems of extraction and HVAC systems. We have been making the hardest cleaning easy for the past 16 years in more than 75 countries.

Our engineers design specific solutions at our client´s requests.

  1. What challenges did you see in a typical kitchen exhaust cleaning process?

Cleaning kitchen exhaust systems is a tedious and difficult task, no doubt about it. We know how hard it is to carry out this task manually and, for this reason, the main objective of Teinnova is to make things easier and more efficient for operators. With our technology, our clients can clean the most difficult and inaccessible parts of the ducts.

  1. How does the Teinnova line of equipment solve these challenges?

Our ongoing research, together with our extensive experience in the industry, enables us to provide unique solutions to problems at any level in the cleaning of ducts.

  1. What challenges did you run into while innovating the equipment?

It has been really challenging to design our equipment with high quality materials without implying a significant increase in the price of the final product.

  1. What do you like the most about the Teinnova line of equipment?

The trust offered to our clients by means of the quality and excellent results of everything we design and manufacture. And not only regarding quality, but also design and professional image.

  1. What sets your brand apart from other brands?

We provide unique technology and reliability backed up by our industry and manufacturing expertise.

Regarding growth, we are trying to broaden our horizons through different industries and making special alliances with specially selected companies that can represent our brand in different parts of the world, such as Omni Containment in North America.

  1. What is the biggest reason you would recommend the Tegras equipment?

The founder of the company and other staff members used to clean “manually” themselves, so they know better what difficulties you will encounter while performing this job. In that sense, our innovations come as a response to customer needs, and we base them on our know-how. We think this is a luxury that not everybody can count on.

  1. What was one distinct innovation that Teinnova was happy to achieve?

After many years of experience and fieldwork, we have been able to develop the most effective chemical product for the technical cleaning of grease. Together with our active foam generators, our system will continuously produce foam with the perfect density to adhere to the walls of the duct and provide the contact time needed to effectively dissolve the grease. We connect our foam generators with our powerful pneumatic robots, which have 25-30-meter-long hoses, injecting the foam inside the ducts easily.

Tiennova’s research and development are constantly innovating to offer the highest quality kitchen exhaust cleaning equipment with the latest technologies. Omni Containment Systems is proud of our partnership with the Spanish manufacturing company, Teinnova, and we look forward to many years of future innovation with them.

Discover how hydrophobic grease filters improve rooftop greases containment, reduce stormwater pollutions, support EPA compliance, and lower maintenance costs for commercial kitchens.
23 April 2026
When people think about environmental responsibility in commercial kitchens, they usually focus on what goes down the drain. But one of the most overlooked sources of pollution isn’t inside your facility, it’s on your roof. Rooftop grease runoff from kitchen exhaust systems can have a direct and damaging impact on local water systems, storm drains, and surrounding ecosystems. Without proper containment , that grease doesn’t just disappear, it travels. From Rooftop to Waterway: How Grease Becomes Pollution Commercial kitchen exhaust systems are designed to remove heat, smoke, and airborne grease particles. While hood filters capture some of that grease, a significant amount still passes through the system and accumulates in ductwork and exhaust fans. Over time, this buildup begins to drip onto the roof, spread across roofing materials, and get carried away by rainwater. Once rain hits your roof, it acts as a transport system, moving grease into gutters, downspouts, and ultimately into storm drains. Unlike sanitary sewer systems, stormwater runoff is often discharged directly into local waterways without treatment. As a result, grease from your rooftop can end up in rivers, lakes, municipal stormwater systems, and surrounding soil. Why It Matters: Environmental and Operational Risks The impact of rooftop grease runoff extends beyond a messy roof; it creates real environmental and operational concerns. Grease contains fats, oils, and contaminants that can degrade water quality. When introduced into natural water systems, it can harm aquatic life, disrupt oxygen levels, and contribute to long-term ecosystem damage. At the same time, regulatory compliance is at risk. Local and federal requirements , often tied to EPA stormwater guidelines, mandate that facilities prevent pollutants from entering storm drains. Uncontrolled grease runoff can lead to fines, failed inspections, and increased scrutiny.  There are also direct impacts on your facility. Grease buildup can deteriorate roofing materials, void warranties, and create slip hazards for maintenance personnel. What begins as a rooftop issue can quickly escalate into a costly problem. The Role of Grease Containment Systems A properly designed grease containment system serves as a critical barrier between your exhaust system and the environment. Instead of allowing grease to spread across the roof, these systems capture it at the source, right at the exhaust fan's discharge. Filtration media absorbs and holds the grease, preventing runoff during rain events and reducing the risk of environmental contamination. More advanced systems incorporate multi-stage filtration, improving efficiency while reducing maintenance frequency. The result is a cleaner, safer, and more controlled rooftop environment. Sustainability Starts at the Source Environmental responsibility isn’t just about compliance; it’s about prevention . By addressing grease at the rooftop level, facilities can reduce their environmental footprint, support local water quality initiatives, and align with broader sustainability. For multi-site operators and property managers, this becomes even more important. A single poorly managed rooftop can impact not just one building, but an entire property, or even the surrounding community. Best Practices for Preventing Rooftop Grease Runoff Preventing grease runoff doesn’t require a complete overhaul, but it does require consistency and the right approach . Start by installing a high-quality grease containment system designed for durability and ease of maintenance. From there, regular maintenance is key. Filtration media should be inspected and replaced as needed to ensure the system continues performing effectively. Routine rooftop inspections can help identify buildup early, before it becomes a larger issue. Finally, working with experienced professionals ensures proper system selection and installation, setting up the foundation for long-term performance. A Small Change with a Big Impact Grease containment may seem like a small part of your operation, but its impact extends far beyond your rooftop. By taking proactive steps to manage grease runoff, you’re not only protecting your building, but you’re also helping protect your local environment and water systems. Looking to improve your rooftop grease management? Omni Containment Systems provides innovative solutions designed to keep grease where it belongs, off your roof and out of waterways.
