Maintaining Safety & Cleanliness in Pulp & Paper.

Seven reasons Pulp & Paper Mills choose EcoChemPro to clean and degrease:

1. Industrial Cleaning Strength - Clients recognise that EcoChemPro has the power to remove the heaviest grease, oils, hydraulic fluid, dried pulp, wood dust and other mill related soiling! Many clients apply our products in all areas of mill operations from the wood yard, wet end, press and drier sections, through to finished goods and warehousing section.

2. Safe to Use with Minimal PPE - Mills have to manage heat and humidity, especially around the drier section of a paper / board machine and down below in the mill basements. Exposing personnel to hazardous cleaning chemicals requires heavy PPE. Typically rubber HAZMAT suits have to be worn when cleaning with heavy caustics or acids. EcoChemPro clients enjoy cleaning with minimal PPE, usually just glasses and gloves as the pH of our products is neutral at 7.2.

3. Non-Toxic, Safer Chemistry - EcoChemPro XL and EcoChemPro ONE DR are non-toxic, and contain no solvents or butyl’s. When the cleaning is completed and washed away clients report improvements in waste water analysis. Indicators such as chemical oxygen demand, pH and suspended solids are all improved when mills use our products exclusively to clean and degrease.

4. Employee, Contractor and Visitor Safety - During a planned machine outage, numbers of employees and contractors working at a mill can increase ten-fold. Keeping people safe has always been a huge priority for pulp and paper industry leaders. Those exclusively using EcoChemPro to clean and degrease know that engineering work can take place side by side cleaning, dramatically lowering the risks of danger to staff and contractors.

5. No More Greasy Floors - Our products contain no heavy acids or alkalis so they leave no residue after cleaning and rinsing. Clients remark that floors, particularly around the wet end, hood and drier sections including mill basements are left dry and free from grease and oils that traditionally cause so many slip accidents.

6. Less Equipment Rot - Our pH neutral formula means EcoChemPro is not only safer for people, but safe for equipment too. The non-corrosive chemistry means our products won’t degrade bearings, pumps, motors, seals gaskets and other critical equipment. Clients using EcoChemPro exclusively to clean and degrease, report less wear on machine parts than those cleaning with harsh caustic, corrosive products.

7. Reduced Risk of Machine Fires - Fires pose a significant threat in the pulp and paper industry and can occur when motors get too hot and pulp and other accelerants are left to build up. Routine cleaning and housekeeping is essential to mitigate fire risk and cleaning regularly with EcoChemPro will help. Clients that exclusively clean and degrease with our products reduce fire risks, and in doing so avoiding potential fines or legal issues associated with unsafe cleaning practices.
   

   Incorporating EcoChemPro into the cleaning processes of paper mills not only contributes to a safer working environment but also aligns with sustainability goals and regulatory requirements. By choosing eco-friendly and safe cleaning solutions like EcoChemPro, paper mills can enhance their overall safety practices while minimizing their impact on the environment.
