Its product, SWRone, causes contaminating lydrocarbons to release from a surface to which hey are clinging, and causes them to separate rom water. The results, according to the com- iany, include: cleaning and degreasing, as well s a powerful de-emulsifying effect. When resent in the bilge, the formula will migrate own into the sludge at the bottom, lift out ydrocarbon contamination and push it to the ctober, 1994 top. The company contends that because of these properties, the performance of oil/water separa- tors is enhanced and, depending on existing equipment, bilges can reportedly be cleaned at five to 10 percent of current expense. SWRone will reportedly clean virtually all forms of hydrocarbon contamination, as well as dirt and soot, from any surface. It can be swabbed or sprayed on, or used in dip tanks for cleaning parts and lube oil filters. The product is recy- clable, EPA-approved and allows for the com- plete recovery of hydrocarbons.
