Special Thanks from IKECA President, Jack Grace, CECS,CESI
Thank you to all of you who were able to join us for the IKECA Annual Meeting in San Francisco, California! For those who were not, we want to be sure that you are well informed about the exciting information and events which took place and help us all reach our goal of cleaning to a higher standard – Our membership was honored to have Mr. Barney Besal present the work of the ANSI committee that has become the IKECA ANSI C-10 Standard. With this document, the higher standard that we speak of has been codified and is now a living blueprint of exhaust cleaning best practices – If you have not yet ordered a copy of the standard, you may do so at the IKECA website as copies are now available for purchase.

Additionally, we were honored to have Halton Company introduce their new grease duct safety monitoring system, truly an innovative device to help contribute to life safety and aid end users and Authorities in better understanding the need for cleaning exhaust systems. We are sure to be encountering their technology in existing systems as well as new installations worldwide! Our members were also treated to a visit from Chef Bob, the ‘Short, Fat, and Happy Chef” and inventor of the DragonFire thermo recovery grease filtration system. Chef Bob gave a lively and informative talk about this innovative new method of capturing and reusing heat waste from cooking appliances. Be sure to visit both of our presenter’s websites to learn more about their systems.

Finally, I would like to extend a special thanks to our exhibitors and sponsors, listed below.  They are truly an integral part of the meeting whose support is key in allowing IKECA put on conferences.  Be sure to consider them in your future orders! 

This is truly an exciting time for IKECA and all that our association has worked to accomplish – IKECA is YOUR association – your participation and engagement in committees, educational outreach, and of course your commitment to cleaning to a higher standard is what makes IKECA thrive – I sincerely hope that you will get active and involved and thereby take advantage of being a part of this great association.
