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.
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.”
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:
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.
