Equipment Decontamination

The ability of BioSolve to clean hydrocarbon impregnated surfaces is unmatched by any other water-based, non-hazardous product on the market today.  Resulting waste discharge can often be treated in activated sludge ponds or POTWs, subject to local regulation.

General application guidelines for BioSolve:

• generally diluted and applied between 2% and 6%, depending contaminant
• can be applied with standard pressure washing equipment
• for heavily contaminated surface, a hot water system may be required

Using BioSolve minimizes liabilities and regulatory requirements associated hazardous solvents.

Numerous tests have verified BioSolve's effectiveness in surface cleaning:

• At TURI’s (Toxic Use Reduction Institute) Surface Cleaning Laboratory, BioSolve’s effectiveness was measured as 100% for oil, 99% for lubricant and 94% for grease.  TURI notes that “higher temperatures and more agitation could improve the results.”  
•  Additionally, BioSolve has undergone ASTM D930 testing on aluminum and was found to have no detrimental effects (no etching, pitting, or accretions) beyond that of hot water.
