Trial Purpose:
To generate a list of alternatives that could be used for the first step in cleaning of bulk materials.
Date Run:
01/18/2006Experiment Procedure:
Using the laboratory's database for solvent cleaning substitution, the lab generated a list of products that have been used to clean oil or wax from glass or ceramic surface. This list contains products that would be used in Step 1 of the proposed cleaning process to removal gross oil & paraffin removal. Products should be non-emulsifying and recyclable.
Trial Results:
