Contractors are caught in a bind when choosing machines for degreasing industrial equipment. Industrial equipment tend to get coated with layers of grease and dirt, even with burned residues from petroleum fuels. As such, degreasing industrial equipment offers a great challenge. Therefore, choosing the right machine for cleaning industrial equipment is extremely essential.
If you are degreasing industrial equipment using pressure cleaner machines, make sure that you purchase a machine with the following features:
High Pressure and Temperature Inadequate pressure levels cause a host of problems, including insufficient cleaning power and loss of productivity. Therefore, you should purchase a durable, commercial grade power cleaner system to remove grease from industrial equipment. Some power washers attain pressure levels as high as 3000 psi.
These machines are used for a range of cleaning applications, including degreasing industrial equipment. They are also used for cleaning factory floors and tiles. High pressure washer systems are ideal for many types of industrial cleaning applications. Therefore, you should choose one that is able to offer the high pressure levels while being durable and efficient at the same time. Many hot water pressure washer machines can reach high hot water temperatures of up to 210°F and wet steam temperatures up to 330°F. If you need to remove heavy accumulations of grease, you will have to use a hot water pressure washer, as high temperatures melt grease and make the removal easy and quick.
High-Quality Parts Quality is of utmost importance when buying a high pressure washer for degreasing industrial equipment. High quality improves the longevity of the machine and enhances productivity. If you are looking for a high pressure washer, use one that has a heavy-duty motor, for electricity-powered machines. A stainless steel heating coil is more durable than an aluminum one. The trigger wand should be well designed and the hose should be strong enough to withstand high pressure. The housing should be durable and able to withstand corrosive chemicals, detergents, and high temperature.
Flow Rate An industrial pressure cleaner can have flow rates of up to 5 gpm. If you are cleaning indoor areas and drainage is likely to be a problem, use an industrial pressure washer with moderate flow rate of 2-3 gpm. The flow rate is an indicator of the amount of water used by the pressure cleaner system. Low flow rate means less water will be transferred on to the surface.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Use For indoor use, you can use an electricity-powered high pressure washer, whereas for outdoor use, gas-powered machines are the best. All outdoor locations do not have an electric power source. If gas-powered hot pressure washer machines feature a long hose, then these can be used for indoor purpose as well, as the fumes will be emitted outside.
Advanced Technology Many latest machines come equipped with AST® technology, an advanced feature capable of shutting down the motor and the pump when the machine is not in use. Then, comes the Super-HOT® technology, with which a machine can generate wet steam. Choose the machine as per your needs and make the best out of it.

Some days I’d like to throw my front-load clothes washer out the back door. But that probably won’t be necessary because it may walk out on its own. The LG product shakes and rattles so much in the spin cycle that it ‘walks’ several inches across the floor each day. One guest to my kitchen thought we were experiencing an earthquake. Sears repairmen have visited twice, but tell me nothing is wrong with the machine: front loaders just do that. In fact, one repairman confessed that he’s called out to homes “all the...
The close connection between the water footprint of an industrial facility, which describes its overall consumption and efficiency of its water use, and its carbon footprint – much of which reflects the energy used to move, heat, cool or treat water – has never been more apparent. And as clean freshwater becomes increasingly scarce and energy becomes more expensive, reducing the water footprint has never been more critical. Water stewardship is now viewed in terms of the lifecycle of industrial water and the...

Introduction
The flow variations in sewers have been modelled for several years with a comparatively high degree of accuracy as far as the diurnal variations and responses to climatic conditions are concerned. However, until comparatively recently the variations in flow due to fluctuations in groundwater levels, soil storage capacity and wetness of the catchment have only been modelled in basic terms. For the past decade it has been possible to use runoff models that respond to the increasing wetness of the...
The concerted effort of employees was the key to the success of Westpac’s energy conservation program which, in 1994, reduced electricity bills by $2.54 million, more than recouping the initial outlay of $1.8 million in only the first year. In 1995, the bank outlayed another $1.1 million but saved an additional $1.5 million, increasing recurrent annual savings to $4 million. The program revolved around simple, good housekeeping measures: such as switching off unused lights and computers, setting appropriate room...

Introduction:
The process involves raising the temperature of the contaminated equipment or material to 260 °C (500 °F) for a specified period of time. The gas effluent from the material is treated in an afterburner system to destroy all volatilized contaminants. The method eliminates a waste that currently is stockpiled and requires disposal as a hazardous material. This method will permit reuse or disposal of scrap as nonhazardous material.
Hot gas decontamination can also be used for decontamination of...
Introduction:
Co-metabolism is one form of secondary substrate transformation in which enzymes produced for primary substrate oxidation are capable of degrading the secondary substrate fortuitously, even though the secondary substrates do not afford sufficient energy to sustain the microbial population. An emerging application involves the injection of water containing dissolved primary substrate (e.g. methane, toluene) and oxygen into ground water to support the co-metabolic breakdown of targeted organic...

Hot gas decontamination: Hot gas decontamination is a technology still in the pilot-scale of development that can be used for decontamination of explosives-contaminated masonry or metallic structures. The method involves sealing and insulating the structures, heating with hot gas stream to 260 °C (500 °F) for a prescribed period of time, volatilizing the explosive contaminants, and destroying them in an afterburner. Operating conditions are site-specific. Contaminants are completely destroyed.
Incineration:...
The main advantage of ex situ treatments is that they generally require shorter time periods, and there is more certainty about the uniformity of treatment because of the ability to screen, homogenize, and continuously mix the soils. Ex situ processes, however, require excavation of soils leading to increased costs and engineering for equipment, possible permitting, and materials handling worker safety issues.
Thermal treatments offer quick cleanup times but are typically the most costly treatment group. This...
