Heavy Duty Cleaner

Oily deposits in steam boilers are a result of oil contamination of the feed water. Most often, the source of the oil is some part of the condensate and return system. Fuel oil and cargo oils may contaminate the condensate via leaks in the oil heaters or tank heating coils. Lubricating oils may be picked up from steam driven machinery. Oil deposits can be removed from boilers, L.P. steam generators, etc., by circulating a 2-5% solution of Heavy Duty Cleaner (Emulsifier) through the equipment. Heavy Duty Cleaner (Emulsifier) should never be used as an on-line cleaner. All cleaning should be done off-line. For maximum cleaning efficiency, the cleaning mixture should be heated to 50° - 60°C (122° - 140° F) and maintained at this temperature during the cleaning operation. If adequate heat is not available, effective cleaning can be accomplished at temperatures as low as 25° C (77° F) using additional time. Carbonized oil or coke may require a two-step cleaning process using FOTTM fuel oil treatment followed by Heavy Duty Cleaner (Emulsifier)
