September 2, 2009—Tennant Company recently announced that the company and its ec-H2O technology was featured on the cable television program “World’s Greatest!…,” which airs nationally on the ION Network. In its third season, “World’s Greatest!…” features behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with some of the worlds most unusual companies, products and people. Tennant Company is being featured for its innovative leadership, as evidenced by its ec-H2O technology.
Developed by Tennant researchers and engineers and named by R&D Magazine as one of the most technologically significant developments in 2008, ec-H2O technology helps to meet the ever-growing need for sustainable cleaning. The ec-H2O technology delivers proven cleaning results without the negative environmental and health concerns associated with producing, packaging, transporting, using, and disposing of traditional cleaning chemicals, says Tennant.
The technology starts with water and ends with water, so it can be handled and disposed of easily and safely, notes the company. It reportedly uses 70 percent less water than traditional cleaning methods, which increases scrub time up to three times per tank. It also leaves behind no slippery detergent residue on the floor and releases no used detergent discharge into water systems. Eliminating the need for chemical additives can enhance worker safety and reduce costs for purchasing and disposal of chemicals.
