Presentation Transcript

  1. Parts Washing Using Bioremediation Technology

  2. ChemFree SmartWasher at NAEC Lakehurst Bioremediating Parts Washers • Non-pathogenic "Ozzy" microbes • Eat away at toughest contaminants • Leave no hazardous by-products • “OzzyJuice” aqueous-based cleaning/degreasing solution • Proven to clean as well as and as quickly as solvents • Without dangers of solvent or expense/hassle of hauling

  3. What is Bioremediation? Degradation of organic matter using microorganisms (bacteria) Nature's way of cleaning up

  4. How Bioremediation Works Petroleum Contaminants Enter Solution Emulsified & Eaten Converted into H2O and CO2

  5. How Bioremediation Works

  6. Are Oil-Eating Microbes Safe? • Tiny fraction of all bacteria on earth harmful • Average human – 3 lbs! • No genetic engineering – all naturally occurring • American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) Class I organisms

  7. SmartWasher at Ft Gordon Are Parts Washer Microbes Safe? • Should use American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) Class I organisms • Have “no recognized hazard under normal conditions” • Pose minimal risk to animals/humans • National Safety Foundation (NSF) • Certifies microbial strains used in ChemFree Bioremediating SmartWashers as nonpathogenic & safe for use in food handling facilities

  8. Temperature & Microbes • Hydrocarbon degrading microbe species reproduce most actively at 105OF – 115OF • Cold doesn’t kill – chilling/freezing slows metabolism

  9. http://www.lakehurst.navy.mil/p2/servlet/DocServlet?wDID=87 Lakehurst Pollution Prevention Equipment Program – Evaluation Results • Compared Safety Clean (solvent-based) with ChemFree SmartWasher (bioremediating) • ChemFree SmartWasher • Reduces waste-stream nearly 100% saving $1,800 in disposal costs • Solution can be used indefinitely with only occasional replenishment • Safe to use, does not require personal protective equipment

  10. Benefits of Bioremediating Parts Washers Safe, non-hazardous, non-toxic Lowers costs Eliminates hazardous waste generation No liabilities from employee exposure to solvent No flash point, non-flammable Extremely Low VOCs No EPA or OSHA paperwork No hauling contracts No time-consuming regulatory reporting Cleans as good or better than solvents

  11. Bioremediating SmartWashers • Designed specifically for bioremediation • Blowmolded high density polyethylene • Max Load: 550 lbs • Self-cleaning: recycles all system fluid • Holds 20-25 gallons • Portable, field deployable • NSN’s or GSA Contract

  12. Anatomy of a SmartWasher

  13. Magido Stainless Steel Cabinet Washers • Designed for durability • All stainless construction • Most resistant to rust & corrosion in industry • More flexible • Handles any water based fluid • Bioremediation option • Many other options • On GSA Contract

  14. SmartWasher at NADEP North Island Conclusions about Bioremediation • Advantages over conventional solvent washers • Safer, non-hazardous, non-flammable • Proven cleaning performance • No VOC’s • Eliminates hazardous waste disposal/removal • Reduces maintenance costs • No service contracts • Eliminates liability issues • Keeps you out of hot water with HazMat/Environmental/Safety • A safe process using naturally occurring microbes to degrade hazardous substances • Successfully utilized at Army, Coast Guard, Air Force, Navy, USMC, etc
