Project Number 1
Summary:
Client has used lab on several occasions for various different contaminants. Cleaners were found for each case.Test Objective:
Save an account that might otherwise go out of state for cleaningProduct Use:
Transporting chemicals| Trial Number | Date Run | Purpose | Success Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 03/18/1996 | Two chemistries were tested. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
Project Number 2
Summary:
Lab recommended switching to baking soda media blasting. Through TURI's matching grants, the company has done so, reducing methylene chloride us by 80%Test Objective:
To find the best cleaning agent for solvent based gelvaProduct Use:
Transporting chemical on road (tanker truck)| Trial Number | Date Run | Purpose | Success Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 05/28/1998 | To find a substitute for methyl chloride | Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary. |
| 1 | 05/28/1998 | Find replacement for methylene chloride | Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary. |
| 2 | 07/09/1998 | To find a cleaning chemistry that would eliminate the flaking of the contaminant after the cleaning cycle. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 3 | 07/09/1998 | To find a cleaning chemistry that can dissolve the resin after hardening. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 4 | 09/11/1998 | Information request for urethane coating removal. | Technology Transfer. |
| 5 | 04/02/1999 | To find other alternative cleaners for the cleaning of adhesives | Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary. |
| 6 | 04/02/1999 | To find other alternative cleaners for the cleaning of phenolic resin. | Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary. |
| 7 | 04/02/1999 | Second attempt to find other alternative cleaners for the cleaning of phenolic resin. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 8 | 04/13/1999 | To assess the effect of temperature on the dissolving of the resin using previously tested cleaner. | A follow up test, usually based on company input. |
| 9 | 05/07/1999 | To find cleaner that can dissolve adhesive for replacement of Methylene Chloride. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 10 | 06/17/1999 | To find a cleaning solution that will work in a high pressure spray wash system for cleaning tanker trucks. | Test incomplete or inconclusive. |
| 11 | 06/18/1999 | To further evaluate cleaners from previous trial using increased concentration and various cleaning times. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 12 | 01/05/2000 | To identify a cleaner that will remove the contaminant when it is in the tanker trucks. | Test incomplete or inconclusive. |
| 13 | 01/06/2000 | Second attempt to identify a cleaner that will remove the contaminant when it is in the tanker trucks. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 14 | 01/10/2000 | To continue the search for a cleaner that will remove the same contaminant. | A follow up test, usually based on company input. |
| 15 | 11/06/2000 | To identify potential replacement cleaners for an adhesive contaminant that has been difficult in removing. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
