Abstract: Processes and apparatus for disinfecting textiles with a tunnel washing system having: a housing including a main wash zone, and a rinse zone, the main wash zone having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and the rinse zone having a fresh water fluid inlet, a soiled water fluid inlet, a recirculation inlet, and a recirculation outlet. A recirculation line is coupled to the recirculation inlet and recirculation outlet. The recirculation line is configured to receive a portion of water one or more zones, and includes an integrated fluid sanitizer module configured to at least partially sanitize the portion of the water from the rinse zone before it is returned to at least one zone.

Abstract: A washing system includes a housing, a drain line, and a recirculation line. The housing receives, via a fluid inlet, fresh water during one or more wash cycles of a wash session. The drain line is coupled to the housing and includes a valve and is also configured to receive soiled water from the housing during the wash session. The recirculation line is coupled to and extends from the valve of the drain line and is configured to receive a portion of the soiled water via the valve. The recirculation line includes an integrated fluid sanitizer module configured to at least partially sanitize the portion of the soiled water, and the recirculation line is configured to deliver sanitized water from the integrated fluid sanitizer module to the fluid inlet of the housing.

Abstract: Provided herein is a composition and a method for removing CHG from textiles. The composition is an acid-surfactant-based composition that may be used to remove CHG from a textile that has not been exposed to chlorine subsequent to being exposed to CHG.

Abstract: A liquid metering system for a commercial or industrial laundry operation includes a dosing tank supported by a weight sensor that can measure the weight of cleaning solution transferred into the dosing tank. A valve assembly is operable to transfer the measured cleaning solution from the dosing tank to a transport tank, and a discharge pump is operable to pump the measured cleaning solution from the transport tank to downstream equipment. Measured quantities of different cleaning solutions can also be mixed in the transport tank before being delivered to downstream equipment. A control system regulates operation of the various pumps, valves, and manifolds, and monitors the readings from the weight sensor.
