Maritime Industry
SWR significantly improves the performance of oil/water separators, removes oil and scale from decks and bulkheads, and can be used for all general purpose cleaning on board. Separation of oil and solids in the bilge is caused by the presence of SWR, and separated oil can be recovered or recycled. Spray application of areas between double hulls, fuel bunkers and holds will clean oil and grease accumulation, and inhibit scale build up. SWR compounds are non-flammable, and require no special storage conditions.
Industrial Cleaning and Degreasing
SWR removes oil, grease and hydrocarbon coatings from metal, engines, machine parts, and industrial equipment, by spraying or dipping without the use of toxic solvents. In conveyor trap/sump systems, SWR separates oil and grease from water emulsions, precipitates solids with little or no hydrocarbon contamination, and allows the oil and grease to be recovered or recycled. Cleaning metal surfaces with SWR prior to painting will reduce the quantity of toxic acid washes.
Rejuvenation of Oil Wells
SWR injected into oil wells returns paraffin and asphaltene build-up to the oil pad, prevents precipitation of solids upon cooling or at lower pressures; cleans and inhibits scaling and deposits in the well casing and pipelines, and enhances extraction of oil from the pores of rock or sedimentary deposits.
General Petroleum Applications
SWR cleans pipelines, increases flow, and reduces maintenance costs by helping to remove and inhibit rust and scale build-up. It maintains crude in a liquid free-flowing state to lower temperatures and facilitates separation of solids and water from the oil to enhance product quality. In sludge tanks and pits, SWR precipitates solids and promotes separation of oil and water, allowing easier recovery and recycling of the oil layer. Environmental remediation of remaining sludges may also be enhanced. Oil tanks and tankers can be cleaned by spray application or by circulation.
