Paratene™ D734-OC Water-Based Degreaser & Odor Control

Paratene™ D734-OC is a concentrated blend of solvents and surfactants designed to aid in the removal of hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon vapour. Paratene™ D734-OC binds and encapsulates hydrocarbons and rapidly reduces LEL levels in tanks and vessels to provide safe conditions for entry and maintenance. Paratene™ D734-OC also contains compounds to neutralize both mercaptans and hydrogen sulfide. 

Features and Advantages

-  Excellent water wetting and solids carrying capacity. 
-  Non-emulsifying – simplifies disposal, and some solutions may be re-used. 
-  Water based. 
-  Non-flammable. 
-  Low toxicity. 
-  Alkaline solution – reduces the release of H2S and the creation of polythionic acids. 
-  Non-damaging to coatings, paint, nylon and rubber. 
-  Exceptional Vapour Control 
-  Odour Neutralizing Properties: will react with mercaptans and H2S 

Methods of Application

Paratene™ D734-OC can be mixed with water, or alkaline solutions at concentrations ranging from 2 to 10 percent to form a cleaning solution. It can be applied by spraying or misting to remove hydrocarbon deposits from the surfaces of tanks or vessels. 

The cleaning solution is typically applied at temperatures ranging from 5 to 90°C (lower temperatures are better for odour and LEL control) and circulated or sprayed for several hours until all of the hydrocarbons have been removed and carried in the cleaning solution. Circulation is then stopped and the vessel can be pumped out. 

Paratene™ D734-OC may be applied undiluted to heavily fouled surfaces and allowed to soak for 5 – 30 minutes and then rinsed with water. 

Where required, Paratene™ D734-OC can be combined with other Paratene™ products to satisfy site-specific degreasing challenges. Consult with the Clean Harbors Research laboratory to determine the best application for your problem.
