MITE
HEAVY OIL AND PETROL REMOVING TANK CLEANER |
Mite is an environment-friendly cleaner with no toxic solvents and delivers high-performance results in gas-free applications and cleaning of heavy petrol-based contamination, crude oil residues, petrol sludge, fuel oil deposits and dried bilge dirt.
Area of Use:
Mite is an environment-friendly cleaner with no toxic solvents and delivers high-performance results in gas-free applications and cleaning of heavy petrol-based contamination, crude oil residues, petrol sludge, fuel oil deposits and dried bilge dirt. It is safely used in indoor areas. It efficiently cleans thick petrol residues on locker surfaces, tank wings and shipboard, with its ability to bind to vertical surfaces.
Use Qualities and Benefits:
- Doesn’t contain chlorinated solvents
- Doesn’t leave hydrocarbon on tank surfaces
- Highly concentrate
- Non-inflammable when diluted with water
- Safe use on all tank surfaces
- Doesn’t harm personnel during indoor manual applications
- IMO certified.
Usage:
1) General Application: Mite is diluted with water at 1/1- 1/4 for in and/or outdoor spot cleaning applications of the engine room, such as fuel oil tank or bilge, in order to remove residues of all heavy and dried fuel oil, bitumen, crude oil and derivatives. Unlike other solvent-based cleaners, it doesn’t harm personnel at this stage. When diluted with water, it thickens and easily binds to vertical surfaces, which need to be rinsed with water after application.
2) Tank cleaning: Mite is applied via circulation method for tank cleaning after petrol-based loadings, fuel spills of ballast tanks and boiler circuits and cleaning of fuel tanks. Dosing is as follows:
For direct injection at 3-5 %
For circulation method at 1-5 %
For spot cleaning with water dilution at 1-3- 1/4
