Product specification

Application area

Marine process equipment requiring scale removal, including plate heat exchangers, evaporators, coolers and fresh water generators

Purpose

Removal of inorganic scale from process equipment as a safer alternative to traditional mineral acids

Targets

Calcium carbonate and other alkaline mineral scale deposits formed during operation

Format

Liquid acid-replacement descaling treatment formulated for CIP and manual cleaning applications

Packaging

20 litre jerry cans as standard. Other pack sizes available on request

Dosing

For CIP cleaning, typical starting dilution is 1:9 in water, circulated for 3–4 hours. Concentration and contact time may be adjusted depending on scale severity

Overview

Biotal AR 3000 PE is an advanced eco-benign® acid replacement developed for descaling marine process equipment during both cleaning in place (CIP) operations and manual maintenance.

It delivers performance comparable to sulphamic acid and removes more scale than phosphoric acid, while avoiding reliance on highly corrosive mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid. The formulation includes built-in degreasing surfactants, enabling effective scale removal even where oil and grease contamination is present, without requiring a separate degreasing step.

AR 3000 PE also contains a colour indicator that allows operators to monitor descaling activity during extended cleaning operations, supporting controlled and optimised treatment programmes.

Benefits

Suitable for CIP circulation and manual immersion cleaning

Effective alternative to traditional mineral acids for marine descaling

Built-in degreasing eliminates the need for a separate degreasing step

Includes colour indicator to monitor descaling efficiency

Not classified as harmful to the environment - 100% biodegradable formulation

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
