Format

Highly concentrated, non-acidic liquid cleaner formulated for CIP and manual cleaning

Packaging

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

Dosing

Standard dilution: 1:19 with hot water in CIP systems.

Typical cleaning temperature range: 40–90°C.

Circulate for 2–3 hours before discharge and rinse with clean water.

Overview

Biotal DC 3000 is a concentrated, eco-benign® separator cleaner designed for safe and effective cleaning of marine lube and fuel oil purifiers.

Unlike acidic separator cleaners, it does not etch disc surfaces, helping to reduce wear and minimise rapid re-soiling between cleaning cycles.

The formulation is highly effective at lifting varnish-like deposits while remaining quick-breaking, meaning removed oil separates from the cleaning solution once discharged. This minimises emulsification risks and helps protect onboard oily water separation systems.

DC 3000 delivers >99% soil removal at temperatures as low as 40°C, eliminating the need for excessive pre-heating and reducing cleaning time, energy demand and crew input.

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
