Application and Use

A. Dosing Procedure

Rock and Roll method: Add 15-20 litres of ALCACLEAN H.D. for every ton of fresh or sea water when the tank is filled to 30% of its capacity.

Circulation method: A solution of 5-10% must be prepared by diluting ALCACLEAN H.D. with fresh or sea water.

Injection method: Prepare a solution of 5-10% by diluting ALCACLEAN H.D. with fresh or sea water.

B. Cleaning Procedure

Rock and Roll method: After you have filled the tank with water (fresh or sea) to 30% of its capacity and added the required amount of ALCACLEAN H.D., let it stand for approximately 24 hours. Then fill with more water to 90% of the tank’s capacity level. This way the tank will be cleaned by natural agitation due to wave motion. Leave for a few days, then drain the tank completely and rinse off by ballasting-deballasting the tank 2-3 times with water.

Circulation method: After the solution is prepared, apply by circulating for approximately 6-8 hours. Thereon, wash thoroughly with water.

Injection method: When the prescribed solution is prepared, inject directly to the contaminated area. Afterwards, rinse thoroughly with water.
