Procurement of a biomass boiler to operate a green industrial laundry site in Dominican Republic

In Punta Cana, most hotels operate following an all-inclusive model; this implies large volumes of textiles (bed linen, towels, tablecloths, uniforms, curtains etc.), which are frequently changed.

Improper treatment of wastewater from the laundry of hotels located in the coastal zone of Punta Cana has important ecological impacts in the region. To minimize these negative impacts, Grupo Puntacana decided to re-think its laundry operations to reduce costs by lowering water and energy consumption and giving preference to the use of biodegradable chemicals.
