Application & Usage

Cargo tank and Cargo hold cleaning
ALKAATUFF ALKALINE  can be used for tank cleaning after animal, vegetable and fish oil, petroleum waxes, and for cargo hold cleaning after soot, coal, pet coke and other bulk materials using the following methods -

•    Direct injection method with tank washing machines: Dosage rate 10-15 lts. per 1000 liters wash water (1-5%).
•    Recirculation method: Use dosage rate of 20-50 liters per 1000 liter wash water.
•    Spot Cleaning: Hand spray neat or prepare a 10-20 % solution. Leave for approx. 30 minutes before rinsing with water. Keep surface wet.

Pre-Wash
Before cleaning tanks with ALKAATUFF ALKALINE  is recommended to pre-wash cargo tanks with hot water 50-60 0C.
For Drying oils and semi- drying oils a prewash of the tanks with cold water should be applied.

The efficient operating temperature varies and is depending upon the type of cargo residues which are to be cleaned. In cases like Palm oil residues the optimal solution temperature is between 55-65 0C at the tank cleaning machine nozzle. Higher temperature tends to bake on the residues rather than removing them.
Hydrogenated oils contain stearic acid with melting point of approx. 70 0C. to clean such cargo residues successfully, a temperature between 72-77 0C at the tank cleaning machine nozzle must be used.


 

Dosage

20-50 % with fresh water. Also acts as an acid-neutralizing agent for Boiler & Colling systems during cleaning & maintenance.
Heavy Soil deposition                   Use Undiluted from to 20-50% diluted with water. 
Medium soil deposition                 10-20%  diluted with water.

Useful Area

Ship hold cleaning chemical general procedure of cleaning...

ALKAATUFF ALKALINE High Foam is commonly used during ship hold cleaning as an alkaline cleaning detergent. Its main feature is to provide good detergency effect with high foam cleaning action during high-pressure cleaning machine. Port-like Mundra, Tuticorin, Kakinada, Ennore, Haldia, Paradip, Gangavaram - Vizag handling more dry cargo like lime, coal, cement etc to full fill demand of local industries. After discharging of cargo ship always have priority to clean cargo residue on the priority basis, As balance deposited cargo not only damaging metal surface by its corrosive nature as well as moisture absorbed by cargo products but also balance cargo restricting next cargo loading on the ship. If next cargo of ship is other then previous cargo then cleaning and removal of residue as well as deposition of stain becomes necessary. During this ALKAATUFF ALKALINE plays very important role for the general wash. Its high foam nature can sustain on the vertical surface for more time to result in good cleaning effect. ALKAATUFF high foam application and cleaning manual are very simple If high pressure available on the ship then dilute ALKAATUFF ALKALINE high foam with a ratio of 1 : 5 to 1 : 20 depends up on contamination and residue effect. Then apply to the entire surface area and finally rinse with hot water ( if possible ), the Same process can be repeated if more cleaning required.  If high-pressure machine not available on the ship and manual cleaning required, then apply ALKAATUFF high foam to the entire surface area and flush entire surface area before with hot water / normal water.
If the vessel has specific cleaning requirement for removal of coal stain, cement deposition cleaning, lime deposition removal and many typical cleaning where specialized chemical required.

ALKAATUFF ALKALINE LIQUID - HD (RXSOL-22-3030-25)

The Importance of ALKAATUFF  by High-Pressure Cleaning

The job of high pressure cleaning can be done easier & quicker by simply using ALKAATUFF ALKALINE in correct dosages. Using a high pressure cleaner alone, without any CLEANER, will not  achieve  optimal cleaning results High-pressure cleaning primarily refers to cleaning of Hard  surfaces, such  as Decks, Tanks, Engine-rooms, etc. and in the majority of cases the cleaning is done according to the so-called two-step method:

Step 1:  Spraying the  ALKAATUFF ALKALINE over the area to be cleaned.
Step 2:   Washing down the area using a high-pressure water jet.

After the ALKAATUFF has been  sprayed on the surface and  before the wash down begins, the chemicals penetrates & thoroughly moistens dirt & other grime. During wash down, the ALKAATUFF ALKALINE thoroughly dissolv- es the particles of dirt, even oil and fat, in the water spray and thus achieves optimal cleaning results.In addition to being more effective, the use of ALKAATUFF ALKALINE substantially reduces the time required for the Cle -aning operation, as well as preventing dirt from reforming on the surface. The use of RXTuff in correct dosages is half the job done.

3 Pieces of Good Advice:
Apply  ALKAATUFF on dry surface where possible! A dry surface will absorb far better than a wet surface. When applying ALKAATUFF ALKALINE on vertical surfaces: Start application from the bottom and work upwards! If beginning from the top and going downwards, the ALKAATUFF may produce "channels" down the surface, thereby running too fast off the surface. During high pressure cleaning: It is important that the rinsing water does not run over non-cleaned surfaces! The rinsing water can draw soap from the surface if running over non-cleaned surfaces. High pressure together with optimum concentration of ALKAATUFF ALKALINE will give the best effect .

Directions for Use and Dose Rates:
General Cleaning:-  ALKAATUFF ALKALINE can be used for all types of cleaning &  degreasing & may be applied by  Brush, Hand spray, high and low-pressure washing machines etc. Time necessary for cleaning depends on the nature and thickness of the deposits. 20-30 min. will suffice for most applications. Hardened, carbonised or aged deposits may require up to 4 hours. If the cleaning solution is not heavily contaminated, it may be re-used at a later stage. If allowed to cool, the de-gassing procedure must be repeated. Depending on the degree of contamination ALKAATUFF ALKALINEf should be mixed with warm water at a rate of 50-200 ml   per 10 litres. i.e. 1 cup of ALKAATUFF ALKALINE to a bucket of water. ALKAATUFF ALKALINE  solution can be applied simply by mops, brushes or rags, or by dipping the soiled articles into  the ALKAATUFF ALKALINE solution. After cleaning, rinse off with cold or warm water. Due to high foaming properties, ALKAATUFF ALKALINE is not recommended for washing machines.
