Ozone Laundry Technology for Water and Energy Savings

Abstract

Commercial laundering operations are the largest aggregate
polluter of water in the United States today. Consider the vast numbers
of commercial laundries scattered across the country including those in
hotels, motels, hospitals, elderly care, athletic facilities, and prisons.
Not only is ozone laundering safe, environmentally friendly but
it saves users thousands of dollars each year by reducing water/waste-
water consumption, energy consumption, chemical cost, and it has been
proven that fabric lasts longer thereby reducing replacement costs.
This article will give the reader a background on ozone, why it
is used, how it is produced and applied into the laundering system and
typical savings results.
