DIRECTIONS FOR USE
General Cleaning
Careclean SC can be diluted to a 2 –10% solution in water for light contamina-
tions. It must be allowed to soak for 1 - 15 minutes before rinsing with a waterjet.
The effectiveness of the product is increased by using water at a temperature of
20 - 70 ˚C for as well diluting the product as for rinsing.
Tank Cleaning
Before cleaning with Careclean SC it is recommended to prewash with hot water.
For drying or semi-drying oils a prewash with ambient water

Tank cleaning (continued)
should be carried out immediately after discharge of cargo to retard oxidation and
hardening of oil residues. After 1cycle, slowly start to increase the water tempera-
ture to increase effectiveness of the prewash.
Recirculation Method
Recirculation is highly effective and widely used. In this method a chemical solu-
tion is pumped via a closed loop through a mechanical tank washing machine.
The chemical solution is normally prepared in the tank to be cleaned or in the slop CARECLEAN
tank. Heat is achieved by the use of a heat exchanger, steam coils or live steam SC
injection. The advantages of this method are recovery and re-use of the heat and
chemicals to clean additional tanks.
