Product Application

Vegetable oils and Fatty acids tend to leave white stains when cleaned with the most commonly used cleaning solutions, especially the cargo deriving from palmoil  and high melting point vegetable oil cargo can account for challenging cleanings. In most cases a two phase cleaning is performed or suggested with an alkaline cleaning and subsequent acid cleaning to remove the white stains. An alkaline cleaning is preferably performed using fresh water as high alkalinity and seawater will intensify the formation of stains. Hardness salts in combination with high alkalinity and Fatty Acids will precipitate as white stains. Tankleen VO Rx prevents formation of precipitations from hardness salt and removes the vegetable oils in one step, even using seawater.
