21 September 2009 | Luca Del Buono

 

Tennant Company, a leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing solutions that help create a cleaner, safer world, has developed a cleaning technology that electrically activates plain tap water to make it behave like a powerful detergent without any added chemicals.

ec-H2O technology eliminates the environmental impact of producing, packaging, transporting, using and disposing of traditional cleaning chemicals.

In addition, the technology uses 70% less water than conventional scrubbers.ec-H2O begins as water and ends as water.

By changing the properties of plain tap water, ec-H2O enables it to clean.

The system works by unlocking the vast amounts of energy stored in the water molecule H2O.

This is accomplished through a special ec-H2O unit that is installed in a Tennant Company floor-cleaning machine.

The result is the virtual elimination of any negative impact the cleaning process may have on our natural environment.

Further, the elimination of chemical additives enhances worker safety and reduces costs for purchasing and disposal of chemicals.
