Eco-Green washing process
Break through of
Intellectual property
Aqua Solutions filed an IP application for
“Apparatus and method for laundering”
with the “World Intellectual Property
Organization”
Compliance
* Reduced amount of total chemicals
Amount of total chemicals
* Current criteria for the amount of total
chemicals shall not exceed 100 g/wash.
* By using AS-System, the amount of
total chemicals is reduced by 80%-90%.
Amount of phosphates
* By using AS-System, the amount
of phosphates (as STPP) is 0% !!
* Current criteria for the amount of
phosphates (as STPP) in the product
shall not exceed 25 g/wash.
Compliance
* Reduced amount of total chemicals* Increased biodegradability
Increased biodegradability
* By using AS-System, the Wastewater
ratio : BOD/COD > 50%
* Current ratio of B.O.D / C.O.D is 10% - 15%
Report from Sofitel Athens Airport:

Biodegradability = BOD / COD = 264/494 = 53%
Compliance
* Reduced amount of total chemicals* Increased biodegradability* Reduced washing cycle time
Reduced washing cycle time
* By using AS-System, the washing cycle
time is reduced by at least 20% for each
laundry program.
* Current washing cycle time is between
25 – 45 minutes.
Compliance
* Increased biodegradability* Increased biodegradability* Reduced washing cycle time* Less water consumption
Less water consumption
* By using AS-System, the water consumption
reduced by 40% - 50%
* Current washing cycle consume 18-20 liter
of soft water for 1 Kg. textiles
Compliance
* Reduced amount of total chemicals* Increased biodegradability* Reduced washing cycle time* Less water consumption* Less energy consumption
Less energy consumption
* By using AS-System, heating energy
for the washing machines is reduced
by 70% for the washing stage.
* Current washing stages consume heating
energy for heating to 40°C – 85°C
Compliance
* Reduced amount of total chemicals* Increased biodegradability* Reduced washing cycle time* Less water consumption* Less energy consumption* Extending fabric life
* Current criteria for Strength reduction
(power reduction) for cotton fabric,
50 washing cycles : max 30%
Extending fabric life
* By using AS-System, Strength
reduction for the same : 10% - 13%
Extending fabric life
* By using AS-System, deterioration
reduction for the same : 0.3 - 0.7
* Current criteria for deterioration reduction
(chemical deterioration of fiber) for cotton
fabric, 50 washing cycles : max 1.0
Laundry costs savings
Chemicals costs reduced by: 80% - 90%
Operation costs reduced by: More than 10%
Water costs reduced by: 40% - 50%
Wastewater treatment costs: 40% - 50%
Heating Energy cost reduced by: 60% - 70%
Extending fabric life More than 20%
