Instructions for use

GREM COLD WASH can be sprayed on the tank surfaces to be cleaned. The contact time should be at least 30 minutes. Bulkheads or walls can be sprayed by tank washing machines or pressure washers. The best result is achieved with hot water between 60-80°C. Insistence should be made to dislodge the dirt from the tank and transfer it to a holding tank or pump it to onshore settling tanks.

GREM COLD WASH can be sprayed undiluted on dirty areas, leaving it to act for 15-30 minutes before rinsing with water.

Direct injection for tank cleaning machines.

Dilution should be between 0.1-0.2% (approx. 1-2 liters per ton of wash water).

Recirculation for tank cleaning machines

It is recommended to use a 0.1-0.2% solution. That is, 1-2 liters per ton of wash water is mixed into the tank to be cleaned.

Dilution and results will vary depending on the contamination, the temperature of the cleaning solution and the number of tanks being cleaned with the solution. Best results are obtained when the water is heated to a temperature between 65-80 °C.
