Enviro Degreasers

jlpressure said:
Is there even such a thing as an environmentally safe or safer degreaser
Any good products out there, low sudsing that will break up/lift oils from concrete. Looking for a green product
Something that can be sprayed down to pretreat before surface cleaning

Thanks

Yes the BT200 will do everything you ahave requested. Certified GREEN, breaks up, lifts, and eats all the oil out of the concrete. Suds will depend on the dilution ratio. PM'd you pricing.

Not only is it Environmentally Safe, but you actually help the Environment when you use it.
 
The real question is whether or not a chem exists claiming green that is available at <$0.50/gallon pre-down-streamed strength.

My mix is less than 50 cents/gallon and strong enough to downstream. Grease and oil run from it.

Haven't tried the bt200, but did try another that is claiming awesomeness (sw1000) but it was weaker than my down-streamed solution and $16/gallon. It would take either $320 worth to clean just one of our steak and Shakes or waste time letting it dwell the recommended time.

Jeff, "Green" is a process, not a chemical. Even the most "green" solutions would be BAD if used in an improper fashion.

I'm actually looking forward to testing it out. I'll let you know the results in a few weeks. I have no problem paying a little extra if it works and I can make the waste water people happy.

Actually the price stated isnt bad if it gets the coverage and works
 
We applied the mix striaght, brushed it til it had a white lather, let it dwell for about an hour, hit it will surface cleaner, then rinsed. All in all work really good. Some of the oil stains were gone right off the bat others had to be re-applied the hit with again.

Doug says the longer you leave it on it will take even more of the stain out. I may just go the night before and apply, the garages will be empty. Usually I like quik acting but I think I can deal with this and make everyone happyyyyyyy
Looking forward to testing it out

An hour of dwell time seems a bit excessive. Are you doing other work when you are waiting?

Its the type of product it is. I was told 30-45 minutes is best or longer. Its not a regular degreaser its microbes and enzymes that eat it away and it keeps working as you are washing it away. I have seen other products like this and some have worked half decent (The powder stuff) and others havent worked worth a crap. I talked to a couple that have used it and they say it works real good

I figure I will spray the night before or as we re setting up have a couple guys go ahead and apply this stuff

Regular degreasers are almost out of the question as of lately here on the beach

Hope this works

Wouldn't then be better to hit it first with just hot water and then apply the chemical to work its job over time as long as it needs to?

Thanks,

Thats funny, I was wondering that just a little while ago. I would say I need results now and would want it to be working before to loosen and eat the oil and to be able to rinse it away. Plus as I understand it, the microbes work better when agitated. Nothing more agitating than some heavy PSI & Heat

But it is a question I am going to ask

Now using it on asphalt you put it down agitate/brush it in and leave it, it takes up to 21 days but it states it removes it. All this I am going to be testing, I will let everyone know and take plenty of pics

The only problem with this method is that you will be sending oil out into the other parking areas thus contributing to the water pollution and a bigger mess unless of course you are reclaiming.

Once the BT200 comes into contact with the hydro carbons the microbes "latch on" to them and and begin eating them away. They stay "latched" onto them, and pick up other hydro carbons as they travel, until they have eaten away all the hydro carbons, (whether it be oil, gas, diesel, anit freeze, hydraulic fluid, etc etc) and then they die off.

The reason for the 30-45 minute MINIMUM dwell is once you apply the BT200 it takes about 20 minutes for the bacteria to wake up and begin diving down into the pores of the concrete/asphalt and start eating away the oil. Really old dark stains will take even longer than the 30-45 minutes, and sometimes, as I told Jeff, over night works best.
 
Good Advice Mike
