Ozone in Laundries
The use of ozone in industrial laundries started in the U.S. at the beginning of the 90’s. The main goals were:
- Reducing energy costs
- Recycling as much water as possible
Ozone is the greatest oxidant and most powerful disinfectant ever known – the only really effective one in very difficult cases. It also provides excellent microbiological control, as it is a very effective virucide.
D ue to the excellent oxidating characteristics that ozone possess, its use in industrial laundries has been revealed as an effective alternative, allowing us to modify parameters that direct or indirectly affect the process.
The instability of ozone is actually one of its greatest virtues, since once its job is done it is transformed into oxygen and disappears without leaving any waste behind. This makes it an invaluable tool for hygienic control in critical areas.
As the system works continuously, it greatly simplifies the process, lowering labour and handling costs and reducing the need for transport and storage of toxic or dangerous agents. .
In our development of the laundries application, ozone also boasts an emulsifying effect that bolsters the performance of the various products used in the washing process.
