EnviroClean® is a non-flammable, non-toxic, water-based, proprietary blend of non-ionic ethoxylated octylphenolic surfactants that has been specifically engineered as a cleanup and mitigation agent for a wide range of hydrocarbon products. 

EnviroClean® has been shown to be effective for quickly and effectively suppressing or completely eliminating VOCs, LEL’s, benzene and low levels of H2S and mercaptans in open or confined spaces.

EnviroClean® is also used to clean up hydrocarbon spills.  In these applications, EnviroClean® effectively conditions (physically) the hydrocarbon such that the microbes that naturally occur can more readily consume it.  It turns hydrocarbons into a nutrient source for the microbes.  When sufficiently mixed with hydrocarbon and water, the EnviroClean® forms a homogeneous solution of hydrocarbon, EnviroClean® and water, which is very stable.

EnviroClean® is a concentrated product, which must be diluted with water, that readily biodegrades.

EnviroClean® is commercially available in 5-gallon buckets, 55-gallon drums, 275 and 330-gallon totes, and bulk.

REMSORB is the most advanced all-natural absorbent technology, discovered to date. The product was discovered and developed in the NASA space program, during orbital experiments in microencapsulation.

Microencapsulation is a Nanotechnology, where Nano-spheres were created with pockets of air trapped inside a cell structure

The technology was commercialized and patented using natural products from nature, namely treated Bee’s Wax and Soy powder, producing buoyant capsules – tiny beads of powder with pockets of air trapped inside.

The buoyant capsules absorb hydrocarbons; it attracts and stimulates naturally occurring endemic oil-degrading bacteria, on both water and land. The product acts as the initial catalyst and is essential for the biodegradation/remediation process to commence. Once the hydrocarbons have been absorbed, the Nanosphere will not allow the release of the absorbed hydrocarbons.

REMSORB via its delivery system can treat surface water contamination in Eco-sensitive areas prevent soiling of vegetative cover, structures or wildlife.

Benefits:

• Non-Toxic 100% all-natural product – has no negative impact on the ecosystem
• REMSORB is 100% Biodegradable, not a dispersant, since it is Hydrophobic, keeps oil afloat
• REMSORB is oleophilic (attracts oil) and absorbs the oil into the microsphere
• Minimizes impacts to the environment and ecosystem
• Maximizes hydrocarbon degradation
• Off the shelf product that is quick, easy, and safe to use
• REMSORB is effective in sensitive areas where labour-intensive techniques are unproductive
• Harmless to aquatic and marine life – No algae blooms – Prevents Toxic fraction from entering the water column
• REMSORB reduces disposal, transportation costs and client liability on site
• Reduces expenses associated with reclamation costs
• Reduces disposal cost of oil-contaminated water at industrial sites or spill clean-up operations
• REMSORB promotes the minimization of waste streams and eliminates long term landfill liability
• REMSORB will drastically reduce the percentage of oil recovered and does not affect the BTU value

RockOn is perfect for cleaning rock, gravel, and concrete. Typical Application & Uses

FQE Solvent-H is highly effective in dissolving solid hydrocarbon deposits typically found in:

• vacuum tower bottoms
• coker fractionator bottoms
• oil storage tanks
• heat exchangers and
• other processing equipment that is typically confused for coke deposits and takes days to remove mechanically.

By rapidly liquefying hydrocarbon solids, FQE Solvent-H will reduce outage days, reduce waste volumes and improve hydrocarbon recovery substantially cutting the cost of maintenance outages. The dissolved hydrocarbon solids will remain liquid and can be reintroduced into refinery operations without incident.

FQE Solvent-H is non-corrosive to mild and stainless steel and all soft metals and will not harm refinery catalyst activity.

Application

FQE Solvent-H can be applied by any convenient non-atomizing method; liquid circulation/cascade. It should be used in areas with good ventilation and kept away from open flames.

FQE Solvent-H is recommended for use on:

• hydrocarbon stained concrete pads
• refinery equipment
• cleaning metal parts and other hard surfaces. 

It is especially effective in removing heavy tars and greases from affected surfaces and in decontamination of plugged exchangers and other process equipment.

FQE Solvent-H may also be used in degassing application injection into steam due to its unique ability to dissipate static electrical charges that may be of concern.

Dilution

FQE Solvent-H is typically applied in the concentrated form. It can also be diluted 5 to 10% by volume in a hydrocarbon carrier or mixed with a suitable detergent cleaning solution when a water-based cleaner is desired.

 

FQE® NORM-Clear is an exclusive water-soluble product developed with selective extractants designed to completely remove NORM (Naturally occurring radioactive material) contamination from vessels, tanks or process pipework. It is applied as an additive at the end of decontamination procedures and addresses highly radiotoxic isotopes that deposit.

Many natural materials contain radioactive elements (radionuclides). The earth’s crust is radioactive. While the level of individual exposure is usually trivial, some circumstances arise wherein the concentration of primordial radionuclides reach a level regarding regulation. One of the main industries with an aqueous “Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material” TENORM problem is the petroleum industry.

Highly mineralized formation waters contain highly radiotoxic Radium isotopes RA 226 from Uranium 238 decay and RA 224 and RA 228 from Thorium decay. All three radium isotopes appear in the water produced with oil and gas production. These toxic isotopes, amongst others, deposit on surface equipment (tubulars, vessels, pumps, valves, separators) as scale and sludge at concentrations of up to 15,000 Bq/g. Progeny of the Radium isotopes emit gamma radiation capable of penetrating the walls of these components and high energy photons can contribute to significant dose rate exposure on the outside surfaces when scale accumulates over several months.

FQE NORM-Clear has been developed with selective extractants designed for complexation of Ra2+. FQE NORM-Clear will preferentially form complexes with Ra2+ compared to the alkaline earth cations Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+, of which a significant excess exists. Of all the alkaline earth elements, Ra2+, is the most challenging.

Application

As a water-soluble product, FQE NORM-Clear can be applied as an additive at the termination of standard equipment decontamination procedures. It can be dosed into steam vapour allowing the condensate to coat the affected equipment surfaces or applied through an aqueous circulation. Concentrations of 0.5 - 1.0% in steam phase condensation or 1.0 - 2.0% in aqueous circulation is recommended. Expected higher levels of radio-toxic scaling will require the additional product to address the descaling process. In circulation processes, application temperatures of 49 - 66°C (120 - 150°F) are recommended.

 

Dilution

The dilution and rate of application will vary with the severity and nature of the hydrocarbon deposits present, but 1.5 to 5% in water is typical. Circulation rates should be as high as attainable, preferably a minimum of 500 gpm for small volume systems and a minimum of 1,000 gpm for towers and columns. For degassing applications, use 0.25 to 0.50% of steam flow.

Safety

FQE NORM-Clear is generally regarded as safe. It is not teratogenic or carcinogenic and is not mutagenic in animal studies. FQE NORM-Clear is readily biodegradable and should not cause problems in wastewater treatment plants when used as directed.

FQE® NORM-Precip is formulated for use in the removal of dissolved radioactive salts in aqueous streams. FQE NORM-Precip is intended to be used in conjunction with and following the application of FQE NORM- Clear to obtain radioactive free wastewater.

FQE NORM-Precip functions by co-precipitation and enhanced coagulation of radio-toxic Radium, and other radioactive salts, as separated water-insoluble salts.

The water-insoluble salts can then be removed by gravity differential or other means of filtration.  Radioactive-free water produced from FQE NORM-Precip application may then be recycled back to process or disposed of through normal wastewater treatment facilities. 

Application

As a water-soluble product, FQE NORM-Precip is applied directly to water streams containing dissolved radioactive materials. It is recommended that FQE NORM-Precip be added to the affected water prior to the dewatering process. Depending on the amount of radioactive elements present, typical concentrations of FQE NORM-Precip to be added to the water stream will range from 1-2% of the volume being treated, upwards of 4% if required to clear the water of all radioactive presence. Collection of the remaining radioactive solids removed from the water must be properly handled according to local statutory regulations. 

Safety

FQE NORM-Precip is generally regarded as safe. FQE NORM-Precip is not teratogenic or carcinogenic and is not mutagenic in animal studies. FQE NORM-Precip is not biodegradable containing no organic compounds.
