Hygiene at sites and remote sites

In the energy, gas, and international institutions sectors, health and safety are top priorities. Remote sites and industrial sites, often located in complex and isolated environments, must meet strict standards while optimizing their operating costs and reducing their environmental impact. But how can high standards of cleanliness, control of operating costs, and respect for the environment be reconciled?

Many companies are looking to adopt more sustainable solutions that can replace traditional chemicals while minimizing their environmental footprint. These products, although effective, generate high costs related to their transportation, storage, and disposal. It is therefore essential to explore innovative alternatives for effective cleaning processes while minimizing costs and the associated environmental footprint.

What is a sustainable cleaning solution?

Implementing an eco-friendly cleaning solution is not just a matter of replacing traditional products. Several key aspects must be considered: reducing environmental impact—both direct and indirect—optimizing purchasing and logistics costs, and ensuring safe use for employees. This means that a truly innovative solution must be capable of producing results that are equivalent to or even superior to those provided by current products, particularly in terms of health, safety, and environmental protection.

Eco-friendly solutions are often based on existing, proven technologies that have been newly adapted for intermediate uses, limiting the use of harsh chemicals. They are designed to reduce waste generated from use or packaging, as well as CO₂ emissions, thereby contributing to a lower environmental impact.

But how can you identify the right solution for your sites? What criteria differentiate one viable option from another? And above all, is it possible to combine performance, sustainability, and savings? These questions are at the heart of our concerns. These challenges complicate the management of cleaning operations, making it necessary to find a solution that can simultaneously meet all these needs.

SmartClean, an innovation in the service of cleanliness: CIS’s expertise

To respond to these challenges, CIS Group offers a unique and innovative solution: smartClean, an on-site production technology for eco-friendly and economical cleaning and disinfecting products. But what makes this solution so special?

SmartClean is based on a technology that transforms water and salt into two distinct products: a powerful disinfectant and a degreasing detergent. This process, carried out by electrolysis, allows these solutions to be produced on demand, offering an environmentally friendly and economical alternative to traditional industrial products. These products are just as effective as conventional cleaning or disinfectant products.

This innovation allows us to significantly reduce our logistics costs and waste while ensuring optimal hygiene.

Why adopt SmartClean at remote sites?

SmartClean is much more than just equipment for producing standard cleaning products. It is a comprehensive solution designed to meet the specific needs of remote sites and facilities. Here’s why this technology is ideal for operations:

Environmental sustainability: by producing solutions from water and salt, smartClean reduces the use of harsh chemicals, plastic waste generation, and the carbon footprint associated with cleaning products.

Cost reduction: by eliminating the costs associated with transporting and storing industrial products, this solution delivers significant savings. Some operations in West Africa have seen their cleaning costs drop by nearly 40% in just a few months following the implementation of SmartClean.

Total safety: the solutions produced are safe for employees and residents, even if the disinfected surfaces are still wet.

Versatility: smartClean adapts to all cleaning methods, whether manual, soaking, or spraying, as well as more complex uses with sweepers, scrubber-dryers, or pressure washers.
