1 Parts Washing Using Bioremediation Technology

2 Bioremediating Parts Washers  Non-pathogenic "Ozzy" microbes –Eat away at toughest contaminants –Leave no hazardous by-products  “OzzyJuice” aqueous-based cleaning/degreasing solution  Proven to clean as well as and as quickly as solvents  Without dangers of solvent or expense/hassle of hauling ChemFree SmartWasher at NAEC Lakehurst

3 What is Bioremediation? Degradation of organic matter using microorganisms (bacteria) Nature's way of cleaning up

4 How Bioremediation Works Converted into H 2 O and CO 2 Petroleum Contaminants Enter Solution Emulsified & Eaten

5 How Bioremediation Works

6 Are Oil-Eating Microbes Safe?  Tiny fraction of all bacteria on earth harmful  Average human – 3 lbs!  No genetic engineering – all naturally occurring  American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) Class I organisms

7 Are Parts Washer Microbes Safe?  Should use American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) Class I organisms –Have “no recognized hazard under normal conditions” –Pose minimal risk to animals/humans  National Safety Foundation (NSF) –Certifies microbial strains used in ChemFree Bioremediating SmartWashers as nonpathogenic & safe for use in food handling facilities SmartWasher at Ft Gordon

8 Temperature & Microbes  Hydrocarbon degrading microbe species reproduce most actively at 105 O F – 115 O F  Cold doesn’t kill – chilling/freezing slows metabolism

9 Lakehurst Pollution Prevention Equipment Program – Evaluation Results  Compared Safety Clean (solvent- based) with ChemFree SmartWasher (bioremediating)  ChemFree SmartWasher –Reduces waste-stream nearly 100% saving $1,800 in disposal costs –Solution can be used indefinitely with only occasional replenishment – Safe to use, does not require personal protective equipment http://www.lakehurst.navy.mil/p2/ servlet/DocServlet?wDID=87

10 Benefits of Bioremediating Parts Washers No flash point, non-flammable Extremely Low VOCs Eliminates hazardous waste generation No liabilities from employee exposure to solvent No EPA or OSHA paperwork Cleans as good or better than solvents Safe, non-hazardous, non-toxic No time-consuming regulatory reporting Lowers costs No hauling contracts

11 Bioremediating SmartWashers  Designed specifically for bioremediation  Blowmolded high density polyethylene  Max Load: 550 lbs  Self-cleaning: recycles all system fluid  Holds 20-25 gallons  Portable, field deployable  NSN’s or GSA Contract

12 Anatomy of a SmartWasher

13 Magido Stainless Steel Cabinet Washers  Designed for durability –All stainless construction –Most resistant to rust & corrosion in industry  More flexible –Handles any water based fluid –Bioremediation option –Many other options  On GSA Contract

14  A safe process using naturally occurring microbes to degrade hazardous substances  Successfully utilized at Army, Coast Guard, Air Force, Navy, USMC, etc Conclusions about Bioremediation  Advantages over conventional solvent washers –Safer, non-hazardous, non- flammable –Proven cleaning performance –No VOC’s –Eliminates hazardous waste disposal/removal –Reduces maintenance costs –No service contracts –Eliminates liability issues –Keeps you out of hot water with HazMat/Environmental/Safety SmartWasher at NADEP North Island
