Oil Spill Response

AQUAQUICK 2000 has a long history in marine oil spill response, starting with its use in major cleanups like the Torrey Canyon disaster in 1967. Its unique emulsifying action breaks down hydrocarbons into smaller, more manageable fractions, allowing safe separation and removal.

Tank Cleaning & Industrial Maintenance

Widely applied in tank cleaning operations, both onshore and offshore. Works effectively with:

• Butterworth systems

• High-pressure jet cleaning

• Manual cleaning and dipping methods

Typical dilution: 1:25 to 1:50 for heavy contamination.

Transport & Road Spill Solutions

Effective for road accidents involving oil or fuel leaks, AQUAQUICK 2000 prevents hydrocarbons from spreading and entering groundwater.

Workshop & Industrial Degreasing

Used for cleaning machinery, workshops, and greasy surfaces, ensuring safety without the use of harmful solvents.

Environmental Remediation

Applied in soil decontamination, grease traps, and wastewater treatment facilities. Compatible with oil-water separators and separator-friendly variants (such as AQUAQUICK 2000 SP).

Usage Guidelines – Docuset 2025

Dilution Ratios (Standard Recommendations – Edition 2025)

The performance of AQUAQUICK 2000 depends on correct dilution and application method. Below are the most common use cases, with recommended ratios and notes:

Oil Spill & Hydrocarbon Cleanups

• Marine oil spills (open water): 1:50

• Coastal & shoreline spills: 1:30 – 1:50, depending on soil/sand type

• Harbor & port spill containment: 1:40 – 1:60, applied with spraying equipment

• Road accidents with diesel/gasoline leaks: 1:20 – 1:40 for fast removal

Tank & Industrial Vessel Cleaning

• Crude oil storage tanks: 1:25 – 1:50 (hot water preferred above melting point of residues)

• Fuel oil & sludge tanks: 1:20 – 1:40

• Butterworth systems (automated tank washing): 1:30 – 1:50

• High-pressure jet cleaning: 1:40 – 1:60

• Manual cleaning (brushing/dipping): 1:15 – 1:25 for stubborn residues

Vehicle & Car Wash Applications

• Automatic car wash tunnels: 1:600 – 1:3000

• Manual car washing (foam guns/pressure sprayers): 1:400 – 1:1000

• Truck & heavy vehicle degreasing: 1:50 – 1:150

• Marine vessels & yachts: 1:80 – 1:200 for deck and hull cleaning

General Degreasing & Maintenance

• Machine parts cleaning (immersion or dip tanks): 1:10 – 1:25

• Grease traps & oil-water separators: 1:30 – 1:80 (separator-friendly variants recommended)

• Food industry surfaces (non-toxic cleaning): 1:80 – 1:200

Environmental & Land Remediation

• Soil decontamination (hydrocarbons in sand/earth): 1:20 – 1:60 depending on TPH levels

• Concrete surfaces with oil penetration: 1:15 – 1:30

• Asphalt roadways with oil contamination: 1:20 – 1:40

Factors That Influence Cleaning Performance

• TPH contamination levels (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons).

• Age of contamination – older, hardened hydrocarbons require stronger dilutions.

• Physical state – solidified vs. liquid contamination.

• Cleaning method – hot water vs. cold water, high pressure jet vs. manual cleaning.

• Surface type – steel tanks, concrete, soil, asphalt, etc.
