How Bioremediation Works

$Are Parts Washer Microbes Safe? § Tiny fraction of all bacteria on earth harmful$

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

Are Parts Washer Microbes Safe? Smart. Washer at Ft Gordon § 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 microbes used in Chem. Free Smart. Washers as

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

Anatomy of a Smart. Washer

Bioremediating Parts Washers § “Ozzy. Juice” aqueous-based cleaning/degreasing solution – Cleans as well/quickly as solvents – Without dangers of solvent § Non-pathogenic "Ozzy" microbes Ozzy. Juice cleans the part, – Eat away at toughest Ozzy Microbes clean the contaminants Ozzy. Juice Chem. Free Smart. Washer at NAEC Lakehurst – Leave no hazardous by-

Ozzy. Juice § Aqueous-based degreasing Solution § PH neutral § Uses no hazardous solvents § Not caustic § No flashpoint § Very low VOC (practically zero) § Available via NSN or GSA Contract

Ozzy. Juice: A Different Way to Clean Mineral Spirits Ozzy. Juice Solvent degreaser/cleaning agent Aqueous-based, PH-neutral mixture of emulsifiers and surfactants Hazardous Nontoxic, biodegradeable, noncaustic and nonhazardous oil dispersant and degreaser Dissolves top layer of oil, without ever removing all oil from the part Separates grease from part so "chunks" slide off -- light brushing or rinsing completes the process Works by suspending oil/grease, which causes solvent to become dirtier and less effective the more it is used Retains its consistency over time without requiring disposal under normal use conditions If maintained properly, never requires change of fluid

Ozzy. Mats § Particulate filter traps large particles of grease/oil § Impregnated with Ozzy Microbes – releases microbes into the Smart. Washer § FL-3 Ozzy. Mat: for light – normal usage FL-4 Multilayered Ozzy. Mat: for heavy usage § Without Ozzy Microbes, bioremediation will not occur. Critical Maintenance: not work and Smart. Washer will Change the Ozzy. Mat at least once a month

Smart. Washer/Ozzy. Juice FAQ’s When do I additional Ozzy. Juice? Due to evaporation and parts run-off, add one box (5 gallon jug) when Low Fluid Light indicates Ozzy. Juice is low

Smart. Washer/Ozzy. Juice FAQ’s How do I avoid excess evaporation of Fluid? Set the temperature at lowest workable temperature (105 F) Ozzy Cap Lid Cover available for SW -28 Super. Sinks

Smart. Washer/Ozzy. Juice FAQ’s Are there any things I should avoid? Water: Avoid contaminating Ozzy. Juice with tap water, which can introduce water-borne microbes not compatible with Ozzy Microbes (small amounts won’t hurt) Gasoline and other Solvents: Dumping of excessive amounts of hydrocarbons and can kill Ozzy Microbes Insecticides & Poisons: Ozzy Microbes are living organisms, and will be killed by such chemicals

Smart. Washer/Ozzy. Juice FAQ’s How do I dispose of Ozzy. Juice? New & Unused Ozzy. Juice/Mats: Because of its minimal environmental impact, new/unused Ozzy. Juice can be flushed into a sanitary; mats can be thrown in the trash Used Ozzy. Juice/Mats: Used fluid/mats will contain contaminants such as oil/grease/carbon in residual amounts as well as other nondigestible substances (metal shavings) that need to be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations
