Salt Deposits Removal (GreaseMaster)
According to EPA tests 600/R-95/136 (salt added to prepare synthetic seawater), treated control coupons were washed at 100 psi (fire hose pressure) and analyzed for chloride, sulfate, nitrite, bromide, and orthophosphate. The test results showed no orthophosphate or phosphorous, and the salt deposits were below one (1) micron per sq. cm., well below the allowable US Navy specs of three (3) microns per sq. cm. prior to coating.
Wastewater Discharge Permit (GreaseMaster)
The County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County granted an Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit No. 12704 for the disposal of 4,500 gallons of cleaning wastewater which had been generated by cleaning a large generator. This approval was given based on three (3) independent wastewater analysis reports, which certified that the oil content in the wastewater was well within the allowable limits after oil separation had taken place in the GreaseMaster wastewater holding tank.
Port of Portland Ballast Water Treatment Plant Disposal Approval (GreaseMaster)
The acceptability limits are based on pH and oil content of the wastewater after cleaning oil tanks with the GreaseMaster. The pH was 5.9, and oil content was 12.4 ppm.
