Cost-effective Orbio os3 system compact
enough to fit in small janitorial closets
Orbio Technologies, a Tennant Company (NYSE:TNC) group, and a
leading innovator in sustainable cleaning technologies, announces
the Orbio® os3 as the latest innovation in OSG (On-Site Generation)
technology. Through the process of water electrolysis—which
combines water, electricity and a small amount of salt—the os3
system creates an on-site and on-demand effective cleaning solution
and a disinfecting/sanitizing solution that meets U.S. EPA
regulatory guidelines for disinfection and sanitization. The os3 is
small, simple, and affordable and designed to fit in most
janitorial closets.

The os3 provides many compelling benefits to building and
facility managers such as: simplified cleaning processes, reduced
cost to clean, diminished exposure for staff and facility occupants
to chemical concentrates and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and
lessened dependence on conventional packaged chemicals and their
associated environmental footprint.
The os3 system is also available with an innovative satellite
system. This unique design increases productivity compared to
previous systems by allowing concentrated solutions generated by
the os3 generator to be transported and diluted at remote locations
within the same facility or campus. The flexible design of the os3
allows the user to place satellite dispensing stations where
they’re needed throughout a facility.
The os3 provides the opportunity for facilities to replace most
daily-use conventional cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting
chemicals with just two outputs. Orbio MultiSurface Cleaner
provides effective cleaning performance for a variety of surfaces,
including glass, stainless steel and hard surfaces such as
countertops, desks, whiteboards and floors with a low and safe
concentration of sodium hydroxide. MultiMicro™ 200 is a
one-step cleaner-disinfectant and food-contact surface sanitizer in
a single solution. Use of MultiMicro 200 allows facilities to
replace a variety of daily-use disinfectants and sanitizers, saving
customers money while simplifying cleaning processes.
“On-Site Generation technology is the inevitable future of
cleaning. The os3 takes this technology to the next level by
offering a robust, flexible system that works with existing
processes. We’re thrilled to introduce a solution that can be used
by facilities that strive to minimize their environmental impact
without compromising their cleaning standards,” said Karla Leis,
Vice President and General Manager of the Orbio Technologies Group.
“This latest innovation follows the successful 2011 introduction of
the Orbio 5000-Sc machine, and underscores Tennant Company’s
ongoing commitment to redefining the future of cleaning through
on-site generation of cleaning solutions that reduce costs,
simplify processes, and offer health and environmental benefits,”
added Leis. For more information on the os3 and OSG technology,
