WATER TREATMENT AND CLEANER
with select, natural, oil-consuming microbes

MarineClean:

MarineClean is a patented blend of surfactants and several strains of active microbes. It is a multi-use product formulated to perform a variety of tasks in an aqueous environment. MarineClean can be added directly to water a a bio-treatment or used first as a cleaner, then utilizing the rinse water as a bio-treatment. MarineClean sharply reduces VOC's and odors with minimum agitation and eliminates sheens on contact, making it ideal for use in confined or poorly ventilated spaces and around waterways.

Microbes in MarineClean eliminate unwanted hydrocarbon wastes by transforming them into harmless, odorless by-products. Any targeted organic hydrocarbon wastes, ranging from food grease to benzene, can be eliminated. As with all Nature’s Way products, MarineClean contains a highly stable oxygen source. This eliminates problems associated with biological oxygen demand (BOD) or chemical oxygen demand (COD) in water systems or sewers. MarineClean inhibits oil from attaching to surfaces, reduces nozzle plugging, algae, foul odors, vapors, and bottom sludge.

MarineClean is intended for use for in cleaning engine rooms, decks, bilges, sewer systems, lift stations, grease traps, and septic tanks. Not to be confused with a drain opener or enzyme treatment, MarineClean is a sophisticated tool for long term preventative maintenance. It is also excellent for use in water tanks used for testing boats and watercraft after repair to reduce oily build-up and odors while inhibiting oil from sticking to hulls.

Quickly and economically bioremediate hydrocarbon contaminated water. Nature's Way MarineClean is an aqueous cleaner and bioremediation agent for cleaning and/or elimination of unwanted hydrocarbon wastes in the marine environment (food or petroleum). It contains naturally occurring aerobic microbes, specially adapted to consume hydrocarbons in water. Working in both salt and fresh water, MarineClean quickly emulsifies and transform oily wastes into harmless byproducts (carbon dioxide and water). MarineClean breaks down hydrocarbons into small particles for easy assimilation by the microbes. Oils found in high concentrations, such as in oil storage tanks, reservoirs, oil pans, etc., will not be effected by microbes.

Testimonial:

I just call it the "NO Product"

•  NO Pollution- I don't have to worry about having to drain my test tank water in to the sewers system,  I don't have to drain  AT ALL. The Marine Clean and Microbes have kept the tank water clean enough to use the same water for well over a year now.
• NO Scum- The customers boats are so much cleaner when we take them out of the tank, which means less clean-uptime, less mess, and happy customers and employees.
  Plus, the inside of the tank doesn't have that scum that we had before using your product. I'm not ashamed or embarrassed for any of my customers to see the tank. (Before they would cringe whenever they saw their beautiful lean watercraft being lowered into the scummy tank!)
• NO Damage- Because there is no chlorine in your products, my test tank isn't eaten away like it was with other cleaning supplies.  The MC and microbes don't attack anything but the oil in the water!
• NO Filter- I  was buying $50+filter every month, and still had scum! Now, I don't even use a filter.

Marine Clean
Water Treatment and Cleaner Instructions
Marine Clean is an aqueous based blend of heavy duty surfactants and naturally occurring, live aerobic microbes. Marine Clean is intended for cleaning and eliminating unwanted hydrocarbons (i.e. oil, diesel, gasoline, benzene) and associated vapors, odors, and sheens in marine environments such as bilges/engine rooms, storage tanks, ponds, marshlands, grease traps, and wherever contaminated water is a problem. Marine Clean lifts heavy contaminants from surfaces and breaks them into microscopic size particles for fast assimilation by microbes. In addition, Marine Clean eliminates sheens and substantially lowers VOC's upon contact, reducing the chance for fires or explosions. All components are nontoxic, non-pathogenic, and completely biodegradable.

BILGES
IMPORTANT: Marine Clean must be allowed to remain in the bilge, allowing microbes adequate time to consume oils and fuel. Agitation of some type must be provided immediately after treatment to insure that product, oils, fuels, and water are thoroughly mixed. This can be done by wave action, circulation pumps, or other means. Taking the boat out for a cruise after treatment is recommended.

DIRECT BILGE TREATMENT – Use full strength at 1 to 3 oz. per foot of boat length, depending on the estimated amount of water and oil in the bilge.

INDIRECT BILGE TREATMENT – Dilute with 3 parts COOL water in new, household type pump-up sprayer or spray bottle. Spray liberally on engine, bilge walls, walkways, decks, being certain that rinse water drains  directly into the bilge. If using power washer, apply to surfaces and follow with high pressure rinse or use through washers using soap inductor. For heavier contamination, allow additional soak time and use brushes.

Note: After proper treatment, bilge water will not produce sheens and is harmless to the environment. This does not necessarily constitute legal grounds for discharge into open water, however. Always abide by all local and federal laws concerning discharge of bilge water to land and waterways.

WATERCRAFT/BOAT MOTOR REPAIR TEST TANKS
BASIC TREATMENT: Although not required, for best results treatment should begin in a clean tank with fresh (new) water. At a minimum, oils or fuels floating on water surfaces should be skimmed or absorbed as well as possible before treatment. pH of water must be maintained between 6 and 9. For maximum efficiency, aeration should be provided. This is accomplished by use of a sump pump placed on or near the bottom with the discharge hose secured at the surface. In high volume shops, aeration due to wave action produced by motor testing may prove to be sufficient. Proper aeration can be determined by the amount of oil build-up being experienced. Without sufficient aeration, oil build-up will begin to occur as usual. For the initial treatment, use full strength at 13 oz (clean water) to 25 oz (used water) Marine Clean per 100 gallons water in tank. For follow-up, use full strength at ½ to 1 oz Marine Clean per 100 gallons of water once per week. Exact amount necessary will depend on many factors; adjust as required.

TREATING SURFACE OILS AND FUELS: For floating oils or fuels, apply full strength or dilute with up to 5 parts water. Spray directly to the oil or fuel using highest possible pressure. A new, garden type pump-up sprayer is sufficient for small spills. For best results, run boat motor while applying directly to spilled oil until it becomes emulsified in the water and no longer visible. For spills on concrete or asphalt (floors), apply liberally. Use brush/broom to emulsify and rinse with cool water.

OTHER AREAS FOR USE
• Reduces grease build-up and odors in drains, sewers, septic systems and re-circulating water systems.
• Regular use on concrete for cleaning reduces slippery conditions and restores appearance.
• Spill response in marinas, fueling docks.
• Industrial water and blow down pond treatment. Call us for recommendations.
• Workboats equipped with spray equipment to eliminate sheens on open water (with 5 to 6 parts water).
• Will not harm or corrode rubber seals, gaskets, brass, most fabrics.
• Cleans fuel tanks, decks, galley floors, pilings, piers, docks, tools, parts, equipment, walls. Using mops, dilute with 10 to 40 parts cool water. Using pressure washers or auto scrubbers, dilute with 40 to 64 parts cool water.
