“Quality Cleaning With a Green Impact”
Soil Washing
Uniclean VII provides environmentally safe and aqueous based soil washing solutions. UniClean VII Concentrate has been successfully tested in a soil washing pilot program. Pretest soil samples had background levels as high as 5,000 PPM of diluents (VOC's), after the pilot cleaning protocol was completed, soil samples tests showed levels well below 50 PPM.
Uniclean VII provides high quality soil cleaning with minimum environmental damage, since it is aqueous based it is easy to dispose of and is biodegradable.
Steam Cleaning
Uniclean VII is effective in steam cleaning applications and helps to cut down on maintenance of steam cleaning equipment. Uniclean VII is added as a liquid thus there is no powder residue at the bottom of the tank, which subsequently clogs small openings and tubing or creates scale in the steam coils. Uniclean VII is safe on any surface that will tolerate steam and leaves no oily residue. One to two pints of Uniclean VII is equal to the cleaning abilities of approximately four pounds of powder cleaners usually used.
Water Treatment
Uniclean VII has excellent anti-scaling abilities for water treatment. In areas where water hardness is as high as 50 grains, applications of Uniclean VII in boiler systems, formerly de-scaled regularly at three week intervals, have been in operation for 18 months with little or no scale build up. Uniclean VII has been used in sewage treatment plants to break up the curst that forms on top of the water. In addition, it has been useful in relevant clogged sewers, drains, and cesspools. Since water and effluent conditions very, it is suggested that a very light ratio of Uniclean VII to water be used initially, gradually increasing the ration until satisfactory results are obtained.
Machine Shops
Due to Uniclean VII's ability to break up petroleum oil products Uniclean VII has a variety of uses in machine shops. Uniclean VII acts as a coolant and keeps the water-soluble oil so evenly dispersed it eliminates oil curds and congealing. As a cleaner for sumps, add the Uniclean VII dilution according to preference and circulate the area well. The same solution may be used for washing down the exterior of the machine while the sump is being cleaned. This mixture will eliminate oil curds and congealing,and help to remove metal fillings that clog pressure lines and pumps. Uniclean VII keeps sump and pressure lines clean thus reducing maintenance costs.
Marine and Shipping Industry
When it comes to the removal of crude oil and other petroleum products from the holds of tankers, Uniclean VII should be sprayed into the holds by low volume high pressure pumps through the use of revolving spinner heads which can be lowered into the hold. The process of spraying should commence as soon as possible after a ship is empty, so as to prevent any volatile gasses from the remaining crude oil or other petroleum residue. Continue the pumping process until Uniclean VII has covered the entire surface. For best results this solution should be allowed to set for about one hour, after which you should rinse the area well. It is important to note at this point, that Uniclean VII solution can be left on the interior of the holds for periods of time longer than one hour with no problems. The initial hour is simply recommended to give it time to break down the crude oil or like petroleum product. Longer periods will not decrease Uniclean's efficiency, since complete evaporation will not occur. After this procedure has been completed, the hold should be clean and free of gas. Uniclean VII solution breaks down oil to such a degree that it cannot re-combine. Due to the unique chemical formulation of Uniclean VII, the oils or other petroleum products will be held in suspension, preventing the oil from being able to cling or stick to any surfaces that the solubilized oil may come into contact with. All wastes should be disposed of as per local environmental regulations.
Tank and Bilge Cleaning
The storage of materials in tanks, both above and below ground, occasionally need to be cleaned. In the past VOC's have been used for this possibly hazardous task. The potential for an explosive environment inside the tank or bilge is possible. Using Uniclean VII as a cleaning solution greatly reduces the risk of explosion. UnicleanVII contains no VOC's and will not contribute to an explosive environment. Always dispose of waste in accordance with your local and federal regulations.
Metal Cleaning
In soak or hand wash operations, Uniclean VII is a good cleaner for removal of mill and processing oil. Uniclean VII may also be used in air wash systems. If foaming is a problem, an anti-foaming agent can be added. Uniclean VII is not only effective on oils, but will also remove greases as heavy as fifth wheel grease. Uniclean Products have been successfully used in hot tank degreasing operations as an additive or as the primary solvent. When used in dip tank operations, Uniclean VII will eliminate the formation of oil and grease scum. This same system has been used in alkaline metal etch tanks to improve uniformity of the etch, and retard the formation of metal ion salts. Because of the absence of chlorines and halogens, Uniclean VII is good for use in cleaning titanium.
Degreasing
Uniclean VII is an excellent cleaner for oil field equipment, engine block, heavy equipment, floors, or any other surface where extra heavy grease deposits occur. Apply Uniclean VII to the soiled surface and allow it to penetrate the oily or greasy film, wipe with a cloth or soft brush and rinse with clean water. Uniclean VII will break down heavy oil and grease build up easily and quickly.
Pipeline Flushing
Flushing of the water mains is done initially to remove any debris or dirt left in the pipe, Uniclean VII is a more environmentally friendly and an efficient way to clean pipelines of any oil residue or dirt that might be leading to blockage. Pipeline flushing is designed as a part of the lifelong maintenance program, and with Uniclean VII achieving more efficient and cleaner pipelines can be performed without any environmental damage.
Sludge Washing
Sludge starts to build up in tanks and vessels with time. The sludge needs to be removed when there is a build up to maintain efficiency and effectiveness. However sludge removal can be hazardous if removed manually, Uniclean VII helps get rid of the hazardous buildup without environmental or human harm. It can replace harsh industrial chemicals while being harsh on sludge and gentle on the environment.
