ISTOBAL develops an ozone-in-water system to reduce costs in pressure jet wash and increase sustainability
Ad
ISTOBAL, the leading Spanish group in vehicle wash and care solutions, launches Ozone Jet Wash, an ozone-in-water system that reduces operating costs in pressure jet wash through equipment that is more environmentally friendly, efficient and cost-effective than hot water boilers, achieving optimum wash quality.
With this new development, ISTOBAL provides an alternative to hot water boilers in jet wash, which generate high operating and maintenance costs and considerable CO2 emissions.
With Ozone Jet Wash, the company achieves excellent wash quality with lower chemical consumption, improving the quality of the wastewater after washing.
This is one further step by the company to promote sustainability in carwashes with an efficient consumption of resources that ensures optimum cleaning quality, boosts the profitability of the vehicle wash sector and offers a better experience for the end user.
Increased profitability, savings in operating costs
Aimed at 2 to 4 bay jet wash facilities of petrol companies, service stations and professional car washes, Ozone Jet Wash is a compact, safe, simple and reliable equipment that saves up to 36% in operating costs compared to electric boilers.
In a 2-bay jet wash installation with an estimated average of 137 washes/week per bay and a full wash sequence of 7 min this could amount to more than 8.000 euro per year in savings, including the reduction of chemical products and salt from the softer system.
In the case of diesel boilers, the savings with Ozone Jet Wash the are up to 25%, amounting to up to 4.480€ per year, and in facilities with aerothermal and gas boilers the savings are up to 15% and 11% respectively, in a range of up to 2.640-2.045 euro per year.
Better user experience with total safety
Ozone Jet Wash also provides a better user experience due to its excellent vehicle wash quality thanks to ozonated water that avoids the use of hot water.
The presence of ozone in the water is completely harmless to people and vehicles, increases the cleaning potential, provides greater chemical efficiency and removes more dirt more quickly and effectively. It also facilitates the maintenance of the wash bays, keeping them in optimum condition for longer.
Ozone Jet Wash is the first automatic system on the market with independent validation of its quality and effectiveness in car cleaning. Carried out by the chemical consultancy ATQ, included in the Ministry of Industry's Register of Entities that carry out R&D activities, it confirms that this equipment provides better results in vehicle washing, both with and without the use of chemicals, compared to the use of hot water.
The equipment, designed under the strict safety conditions of oil companies, complies with WHO guidelines for airborne ozone concentrations (below 0.05ppm). Quick and easy to install on both new and existing equipment, the new system is available from June 2023 in the European market.
Reduced environmental impact
The new ozone equipment is a further step by ISTOBAL to promote sustainability in vehicle washing with an efficient consumption of resources that ensures excellent cleaning quality and boosts the profitability of car washes.
The installation of this system instead of traditional boilers means a reduction in the consumption of chemical products, while also improving the quality of the water discharged after the wash. Ozone Jet Wash reduces CO2 emissions at the facility, minimising waste generation by reducing chemical packaging and the reduction in space and transport due to less chemical use.
Additionally the potential elimination of the water softer at the facility not only means an environmental improvement by avoiding the discharge of regenerations with high conductivity, but also a reduction in salt replenishment operations by staff at the wash facility and thus a reduction in maintenance operations and save up space at technical room.
