Characteristics, Advantages & Applications
- A non-toxic, non-flammable and non-corrosive liquid mixture.
- Acts as an odor binder and eliminator while giving off a soft scent.
- Effectively dissolves all fat, vegetable and animal oils, dry or not.
- Can safely be used on Tin, Zinc, Aluminum and any galvanized or epoxy surface coatings.
- Can be used as a general purpose cleaner to remove oil and grease deposits.
- May be applied to any ferrous alloy metals.
- Ideal to use for “Gas-Free” when sprayed after any hydrocarbon cleaning process as it discharges an additional pleasant lemon aroma.
- Cost effective, easy to handle and apply.
During 1996, chemical tankers were only permitted to use tank cleaning agents, which had been approved and evaluated by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). ALCACTIVE LIQUID was evaluated through IMO’s Working Group on the evaluation of Safety and Pollution Hazards of Chemicals (ESPH Working Group) and found to meet the requirements of paragraph 1.8.2 of the P&A Standards.

Application and Use
A. Dosing Procedure
Rock and Roll method: Add 15-20 litres of ALCACTIVE LIQUID for every ton of water at the point where the tank is filled to 30% of its capacity.
Circulation method: A solution of 5-10% must be prepared by diluting ALCACTIVE LIQUID with water.
Injection method: Prepare a solution of 3-6% by diluting ALCACTIVE LIQUID with water.
B. Cleaning Procedure
Rock and Roll method: After you have filled the tank with water (fresh or seawater) to 30% of its capacity and added the required amount of ALCACTIVE LIQUID, let it stand for approximately 24 hours. Then fill tank with more water, up to 90% of its 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.
