The new frontier in process water for professional and industrial washing
An integrated technological platform
Innovation in washing processes does not depend solely on higher-performance machines or new detergents. Increasingly, the true strategic element is process water, the medium through which energy, chemical action, and cleaning power are transferred.
RAD-TEAS® (Reactive Advanced Dynamic – Thermo Electro Activated System) was developed from this vision: to create a proprietary technological platform capable of integrating thermal management, controlled electrochemical activation, and water parameter control within a single technological module.
The aim of the project is to explore new ways of optimizing professional and industrial washing processes through advanced water management, with an approach focused on efficiency, sustainability, and integration into next-generation systems.
New Market Demands
The washing industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by increasingly stringent requirements:
- reduction in energy consumption;
- optimization of water use;
- reduction in the use of detergents and chemicals;
- maintenance of high hygiene standards;
- reduction in operating costs;
- compliance with environmental sustainability criteria;
- digitalization and greater process control.
In this context, improving the properties of process water represents one of the most promising technological levers for increasing the overall efficiency of washing systems.
The RAD-TEAS® Technological Concept
RAD-TEAS® is designed as a modular platform that integrates three complementary functions within a single system.
Controlled thermal management
Process water temperature control through a dedicated system designed to operate in coordination with the platform’s other subsystems.
Electrochemical activation of water
Application of controlled electrochemical processes aimed at modifying water properties through the generation of active species and the management of key physicochemical parameters.
Integrated process control
Dynamic coordination of thermal, electrochemical, and operational parameters to optimize the overall performance of the washing cycle.
Water is not regarded solely as a washing fluid, but as a true technological vector that can be engineered to improve the performance of the entire process.
The Potential of the Platform
The characteristics of the technology will be subject to a structured experimental validation process. The main areas of interest include:
Washing Process Efficiency
Evaluation of the interaction between water, temperature, detergents, process time, and mechanical action, in order to assess the contribution of electrochemical activation to overall performance.
Optimization of Chemical Product Use
Analysis of the potential to reduce or optimize the use of detergents and additives through the controlled generation of active species directly in the process water.
Energy Optimization
Study of the integration of thermal and electrochemical management to assess potential benefits in terms of energy consumption, cycle efficiency, and comparison with conventional technologies.
Hygiene Requirements
Assessment of the technology’s potential in contexts where microbiological control is an essential requirement, through dedicated tests of efficacy, safety, and compatibility.
Industrial Sustainability
