Alkaline Ship Hold Cleaning Chemical & Detergent

RXSOL-22-3030-050 is an alkaline ship hold cleaning chemical and detergent developed for cleaning cargo holds and other suitable shipboard surfaces contaminated with oil, grease, cargo residues, dirt and general marine deposits.

It is intended for professional vessel cleaning operations where effective alkaline detergency is required to prepare cargo holds for subsequent cargo operations.

ALKAATUFF DETERGENT Very effective Emulsifier - based alkaline ship hold cleaner. Specialized fo for pet coke, coal hold cleaning and general digressing. its heavy molecular surfactants rapidly reacts with water and produce effective cleaning solution. May be applied by brush, hand spray and by high and low-pressure washing machines.

can be used for different types of cleaning, and it can be applied by brush, hand spray, High & Low pressure washing machines, by Direct Injections method but is mostly used by Recirculation method.

Removal of soot from Inert Gas Systems (IGS)
1.    Apply ALKAATUFF DETERGENT - LIQUID  with a H.P. cleaning machine and use 1:4 with water. If used by hand spray, apply neat on the surface @ 1 ltr per 12m2.
2.    Leave for about 30 – 45 minutes. The surface remains wet.
3.    Wash down with hot water at around 800 C. Repeat procedure 1 to 3, if required.    

Cargo tank and Cargo hold cleaning
ALKAATUFF DETERGENT LIQUID  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 with ALKAATUFF DETERGENT  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.

NOTE : 20-50 % with fresh water . Also acts as an acid-neutralizing agent for Boiler & Colling systems during cleaning & maintenance.

Precautions

Ship Hold Cleaning Applications

RXSOL-22-3030-050 can be considered for cleaning:

• Cargo holds

• Hatch covers

• Hold bulkheads

• Deck areas

• Tanker and bulk-carrier related surfaces, where compatible

• Shipboard machinery and equipment exteriors

• Other suitable hard surfaces

It can be particularly useful as part of a cleaning program following cargo discharge, helping remove residual contamination before inspection or loading the next cargo.

Types of Contamination

The alkaline detergent action is intended to help loosen and remove:

• Oil and grease

• General cargo residues

• Dirt and grime

• Organic deposits

• Oily films

• Surface contamination

The actual cleaning performance depends on the previous cargo, age of the residue, temperature, concentration, contact time and mechanical action.

Recommended Cleaning Approach

A typical ship-hold cleaning operation may involve:

1. Remove loose cargo residues and debris.

2. Prepare the RXSOL-22-3030-050 solution according to the current product instructions.

3. Apply by suitable spray, foam, brush or washing equipment as applicable.

4. Allow adequate contact time.

5. Agitate heavily contaminated areas where required.

6. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water or suitable rinse water.

7. Inspect the hold and repeat cleaning where necessary.

8. Complete final rinsing and drying according to the vessel's cargo requirements.

Dosage and dilution should be based on the current RXSOL TDS and the specific previous-cargo contamination.

Previous Cargo Consideration

The correct hold-cleaning chemical depends strongly on the previous cargo.

For example, cleaning requirements can differ significantly for:

• Vegetable oils

• Animal oils and fats

• Petroleum products

• Coal

• Carbon black

• Soot

• Cement

• Fertilizer residues

• Chemical cargoes

• General bulk cargo

For difficult or specialized residues, a dedicated RXSOL cargo-specific cleaner may provide a more appropriate cleaning solution.

For degreasing and removal of residues of mimerals oil , coal stain and soot from surface.

Safety Phrases
S-2 Keep out of the reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is RXSOL-22-3030-050?

RXSOL-22-3030-050 is an alkaline ship hold cleaning chemical and detergent intended for professional marine cleaning applications.

What is it used for?

It is used for cleaning suitable ship cargo holds and hard surfaces contaminated with oil, grease, cargo residues, dirt and general marine contamination.

Can it be used after every cargo?

Not necessarily. The appropriate cleaner depends on the previous cargo and the nature of the residue. A cargo-specific chemical may be required for difficult contamination.

Can it remove oil and grease?

Its alkaline detergent formulation is intended to help loosen and remove oily and greasy contamination from suitable surfaces.

How much RXSOL-22-3030-050 should be used?

The required concentration depends on the contamination and cleaning method. Always use the current RXSOL TDS/product instructions for the approved dilution and contact time.

Is it suitable for manual cleaning?

It can be incorporated into suitable manual cleaning procedures, subject to the product instructions, surface compatibility and required PPE.

ALKAATUFF DETERGENT most suitable for cargo hold and tank cleaning.

ALKAATUFF DETERGENT High foam plays very important role during ship hold cleaning, Its high foam ability increasing ALKAATUFF cleaning power on the vertical surface, As liquid product can't sustain on the vertical surface while HIGH composite FOAM can sustain on the surface which is resulting from good cleaning effect. 
Extra foaming is major features which is differentiating ALKAATUFF high foam to general ALKAATUFF.

ALKAATUFF High foam using procedure and cleaning method : 
1st Step Cleaning of extra and excess loose particle::: 
Before applying  ALKAATUFF DETERGENT high foam on hold surface, Makes sure extra loose cargo particle should be removed manually or Air blown method. Then cleaning procedure can be followed either by high foam machine or Manual. 
2nd step is for Mixing and dilution of ALKAATUFF DETERGENT:::
If cleaning step is with HP machine ( High Pressure ), Then mix concentrated ALKAATUFF high foam with fresh water, it can be diluted 1 Ltrs ALKAATUFF High foam with 4 to 5 Ltrs Fresh water.  

If cleaning step followed by hand spray, Then apply ALKAATUFF DETERGENT high foam neat on the surface. Approx  1 ltr covers 10 to 12 square meter. 

3rd Step final procedure::: 

Leave for about 30 – 45 minutes. The surface remains wet. Wash down with hot water at around 80 - 90 degree. Rinsing procedure can be repeated 1 to 3 times if required for Cargo Tank and Cargo Hold Cleaning.

Why should we avoid SEA WATER during Ship Hold Cleaning?

The hardness of Seawater reducing Foaming Qualities of ALKAATUFF.
Seawater also reducing the foaming qualities of the any detergent.
As per chemistry law and detergency effect sea water reducing cleaning effect. 
Seawater increasing corrosion risk to the surfaces and the equipment used and metal surface.
When mixing ALKAATUFF  with seawater Higher concentration of ALKAATUFF required at least 20 - 25% (ratio 2:9 to 1-3).
