What is Bioremediation?
Bioremediation is the use of microbes to break down and ‘eat’ oil, grease and carbon-based contaminants, converting them into harmless byproducts such as carbon dioxide and water. This proven biotechnology is used to assist in the clean-up of wastewater treatment ponds and lagoons in petroleum refineries and industrial manufacturing facilities all around the world.
Safe, Powerful Degreasing Solution
Blackwoods’ supply partner CRC has used used bioremediation to develop their SmartWasher® system and OzzyJuice® fluid, which work together to clean parts as effectively as a solvent, but without the hazards. The non-caustic, non-toxic and nonflammable OzzyJuice® cleans the parts. Microbes are then introduced through a special filter in the SmartWasher® to clean the OzzyJuice® and ensure a strong non-hazardous, and reusable solution.
David Bailey, AU Field Sales & Contracts Manager at CRC Industries Australia, notes, “The Microbes clean the OzzyJuice® and the OzzyJuice® cleans the parts. The OzzyJuice® is heated to 42°C, which speeds up the cleaning process. Due to the bioremediation process, the SmartWasher® almost completely eliminates waste and the need to have contracts with waste removal companies.”
Case Study: Safer Workplace Solution with CRC SmartWasher®
A major Australian industrial machinery supplier experienced a fire hazard with their solvent-based parts washers. They sought a safer, non-flammable alternative and transitioned to the CRC bioremediating SmartWasher® SW-37, which had some important benefits:
- Eliminated solvent use, aligning with health and safety guidelines
- Reduced liability and promoted a safer work environment
- Achieved 100% daily cleaning efficiency
- Significantly cut down waste
- Enabled long-term cost savings
By switching to the CRC SmartWasher® with OzzyJuice®, you not only enhance workplace safety and save on costs but also keep cleaning standards high and reduce hazardous waste through reuse of the fluid.
