Product specification

Application area

Black water collection systems, including vacuum toilets, pipework and associated holding tanks

Purpose

Removal and prevention of inorganic scale build-up in marine sanitation systems, as a safer alternative to traditional mineral acids

Targets

Calcium carbonate, struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) and associated mineral scale deposits within black water pipework and tanks

Format

Liquid acid-replacement descaling treatment formulated for routine and periodic use in marine sanitation systems

Packaging

2 x 5 litre jerry cans as standard. Other pack sizes available on request

Dosing

Manual dosing via toilet systems or directly into black water pipework. Typical routine application: 100 ml per toilet as a direct replacement for sulphamic acid sachets (flush immediately after dosing)

Overview

Biotal AR 3000 BW is an advanced eco-benign® acid replacement developed for the management and removal of scale in marine black water sanitation systems. It is designed to dissolve inorganic scale deposits within toilets, vacuum pipework and holding tanks, even whilst the vessel remains in normal operation.

Formulated to deliver performance comparable to traditional mineral acids, AR 3000 BW provides an effective alternative to sulphamic acid sachets without the need for aggressive, highly corrosive chemistry. The product can be used routinely to help prevent scale build-up or periodically to remediate existing deposits.

Suitable for manual dosing via toilet systems or direct introduction into black water pipework, AR 3000 BW enables practical, in-service descaling programmes that reduce downtime and avoid the disruption and safety considerations associated with dry dock acid treatments.

Benefits

Provides equivalent performance to sulphamic acid powders

Removes and prevents black water scale without aggressive mineral acids

Supports safer onboard handling compared with strong mineral acids

Can be used during normal vessel operation, avoiding dry dock descaling

Offers effective descaling even in the presence of oil and grease contamination

Our products are designed for environmental responsibility

Eco-benign® formulations

Designed to perform effectively while breaking down to natural biomaterials that are biodegradable in treatment systems and the environment.

Reduced reliance on aggressive chemistry

Replaces or reduces the need for corrosive mineral acids, solvents and caustic treatments traditionally used on board.

Lower environmental impact by design

Formulated to avoid the environmental hazard classifications associated with traditional acids and heavy chemistry.

Gentler on marine environments

Focuses on biodegradation and controlled breakdown of waste, rather than simply lowering oil levels without regard for wider toxicity
