Ship maintenance is a crucial process involving routine inspections, repairs, and component replacements to ensure that the vessel operates safely and efficiently. Ship maintenance is key to avoiding costly downtime and ensuring the continuous operation of the ship.

One of the critical maintenance processes is cleaning at several points. Some common cleaning problems and their appropriate chemical solutions for your vessel include:

1. Problem: Carbon Deposit Cleaning

Carbon deposits on ships are accumulations of fuel combustion residues that adhere to the surfaces of engines, exhaust systems, and other components. This can lead to decreased engine efficiency, increased fuel consumption, and higher exhaust emissions.

Solution: EonCarb 544

EonCarb 544 is a carbon remover and alkaline CIP process, a water-based chemical cleaner effective in removing carbon residues from combustion, varnish, oil, and grease from metal surfaces. This product contains a blend of active substances that can penetrate quickly and have high solubility, ensuring thorough and efficient cleaning of various contaminants adhering to metals.

2. Problem: Air Cooler Cleaning

Dirty air coolers can reduce heat transfer, cause engine overheating, and decrease performance. The cleaning process involves removing dirt, salts, and deposits from the fins and tubes of the air cooler to ensure optimal air and water flow, preventing engine damage and ensuring smooth operation.

Solution: EonClean 500

EonClean 500 is a solvent-based degreaser, a highly effective cleaning chemical specifically formulated to clean oil, grease, asphalt, and grime from metal surfaces and other surfaces. This product is ideal for use in general maintenance cleaning, automotive, marine, and transportation equipment. It is not recommended for applications on materials sensitive to aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds, such as rubber.

3. Problem: Oil Spill Cleaning

Oil spills can occur due to tank leaks, engine failures, or operational errors. Besides environmental impact, oil spills pose safety risks to the ship’s crew. Slow handling exacerbates damage and prolongs environmental recovery.

Solution: EonWash 500

EonWash 500 is a general-purpose cleaner, a water-based cleaner formulated to effectively clean oil, grease, and grime. This product can be used in various applications, including the maritime industry, ships, automotive, as well as in mining and construction industries.

4. Problem: Oil Spill Cleaning

Oil spills in the ocean cause significant environmental damage, forming thin layers on the water surface that disrupt photosynthesis and poison marine life. Long-term effects include habitat destruction and population decline of species, disrupting ecological balance.
