|---|
| AcceII Clean® SWA-NE is a surface washing agent, comprised of a combination of biosolvents and bio-surfactants. This product is designed to be a non-emulsifying cleaner or "lift and float" type surface washing agent. It will remove crude oil from rocks, equipment and hard surfaces without emulsifying the oil in the water. |
| (10) Recommended product use procedures [§ 300.915(a)(10)] |
|---|
| 1. Application Method: The application of Accell Clean® SWA-NE involves a multi-step process tailored to the size and orientation of the contaminated area. For large-scale shoreline or beach cleanup, the product is applied as an aerial spray from work boats or water trucks equipped with hoses and pumps. Smaller, targeted areas like rocks or vessel hulls require manual application using hand-held or backpack sprayers. On vertical surfaces, foaming generators may be used to increase contact time. Following application, the product must soak for 15 minutes to 4 hours before being flushed with low-pressure, ambient water to release the oil. High-pressure washing and steam are generally restricted to prevent mechanical emulsification and minimize worker vapor exposure. 2. Concentration / Application Rate: Standard dosing for Accell Clean® SWA-NE requires an application ratio ranging from 0.5:1 to 1:1 relative to the volume of the target oil. Before full-scale application, a "bucket test" should be performed to verify that the treated oil will float. The effectiveness of these rates is influenced by environmental factors. As warmer temperatures accelerate the cleaning reaction while colder conditions, specifically those below 2oC (35.6oF), require extended soak times and higher contact durations. 3. Conditions for Use: Accell Clean® SWA-NE can be used on heavy fuel oils, weathered crudes, or highly viscous hydrocarbons. Use is ideal for solid or semi-solid substrates such as gravel, cobble, and rocky shores, but is discouraged on permeable inland soils where oil could migrate underground. Shoreline applications must be timed with an ebbing or low tide to allow sufficient soaking time and recovery. Furthermore, products must be used only in the environment (freshwater vs. saltwater) for which they are specifically listed on the NCP Product Schedule. 4. Containment, collection, recovery, and disposal: Use a boom or other containment prior to application to prevent the oil from spreading or reaching open water. Because non-emulsifying surface washing agents release oil without dispersing it, physical recovery must occur immediately after washing. Ideally water currents should remain under 1 knot to ensure safe containment. Once trapped, the floating oil is removed using mechanical skimmers, vacuum equipment, or sorbent pads. All recovered oily mixtures and used sorbents must be disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations. Always read the Safety Data Sheet for important product safety instructions. |
