20080289663 | Cleaning a Greasy Surface - A method of cleaning a greasy surface, includes the steps of: a) providing a container and a cleaning implement dimensioned to fit in the container; b) providing a volume of cleaning liquid in the container, the cleaning liquid comprising water, a chemical degreasing agent, and a chemical flocculating agent; and c) using the cleaning implement to pick up particulate matter and water-insoluble matter from the greasy surface and transfer it to the container, the degreasing agent causing the water-insoluble matter to solubilize, the flocculating agent causing the particulate matter to agglomerate and the agglomerated matter to flocculate and to sediment, so as to be held in the cleaning liquid at and/or adjacent to a bottom surface of the container. Preferably, in step (c), the cleaning liquid above the sediment is a single phase. A cleaning solution, a mop bucket, and a grid for use with the method are also provided. | 11-27-2008 |
20090199876 | Method of cleaning a surface - The application of a gel-like material is disclosed for cleaning a surface having foreign matter thereon, such gel-like material produced by magnetically treating and mixing two solutions, the first solution being comprised of water and sodium bicarbonate and the second solution comprised of water and sodium silicate. The first solution is passed through a positively charged magnetic field, and the second solution is passed through a negatively charged magnetic field. The two solutions are then mixed together to form a gel. | 08-13-2009 |
20100263693 | Hard Surface Treatment Compositions - An improved hard surface treatment compositions which comprises (preferably consists essentially of; yet more preferably consists of) the following constituents: a detersive anionic surfactant; a detersive nonionic surfactant; an alkylene glycol ether solvent; a phenyl containing glycol ether solvent; an organic acid, preferably an organic acid selected from citric acid, lactic acid and mixtures thereof; optionally but preferably a film forming polymer based on quaternized copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, optionally one or more further constituents which may improve aesthetic or functional features of the compositions, and, water. | 10-21-2010 |
20100307542 | Method of Reducing Surface Oil on Encapsulated Material - A method is provided for removing surface oil form a surface of an encapsulated material without using any type of solvent. The method includes contacting an encapsulated material having a moisture content of about 1 to about 60 weight percent with at least about 5 weight percent of an oil removing material for an amount of time effective for reducing surface oil on the encapsulated material by at least about 80%. | 12-09-2010 |
20120273013 | PROCESS FOR THE DEMULSIFYING CLEANING OF METALLIC SURFACES - The demulsifying cleaning of metallic surfaces which may be contaminated with oil(s) with at least one further nonpolar organic compound, with fat(s), with soap(s), with particulate dirt or with at least one anionic organic compound using an aqueous, alkaline, surfactant-containing bath solutions. | 11-01-2012 |
20130139857 | AUTOMATIC WAX REMOVING DEVICE AND AUTOMATIC WAX REMOVING METHOD USING SAME - An automatic wax removing device includes a base, a heating plate, a cooling plate, a first actuator, a second actuator, and an operation plate. The base includes a base plate and a framework. The heating plate is arranged on the base plate. The cooling plate is arranged on the base plate and separated from the heating plate. The first actuator includes a sliding rail and a elongated sliding member on the sliding rail. The sliding rail is fixed on the frame and parallel with the heating plate. The second actuator includes a main body and a rotation shaft arranged on the main body. The main body is slideable along the length of the sliding member. One end of the rotation shaft is connected to the main body. The operation plate is fixed to the other end of the rotation shaft. | 06-06-2013 |
20130269735 | System and method for treating a contaminated substrate - A method and apparatus is disclosed for treating and processing an oil, water or oil and water-contaminated substrate such as oil field waste. The substrate may be pretreated with water and/or surfactant and may be mixed under low shear conditions with a base such as a compound containing alkaline earth or lime and an optional catalyst. Mixing the substrate with the base creates a heat. Next, the substrate may be mixed with an acid such as sulfuric acid. As the substrate is mixed, it causes an exothermic reaction with a heat that vaporizes the oil, reaction products and water. Recoverable constituents in the vapor can be condensed in a vapor collection system. The treated substrate may be essentially free of oil and has a controlled water content and pH that can be adjusted according to the use of the end dry product. | 10-17-2013 |

20140041693 | PROCESS FOR THE DEMULSIFYING CLEANING OF METALLIC SURFACES - The demulsifying cleaning of metallic surfaces which may be contaminated with oil(s) with at least one further nonpolar organic compound, with fat(s), with soap(s), with particulate dirt or with at least one anionic organic compound using an aqueous, alkaline, surfactant-containing bath solutions. | 02-13-2014 |
20140190527 | METHOD FOR FILTERING A LIQUID - An oil filter assembly is disclosed for a machine, such as an internal combustion engine, that has an oil output port and an oil input port. A mounting plate is fixed with an outer enclosure. The mounting plate is further adapted to conduct oil from the machine into a peripheral portion of the outer enclosure, and then returning oil from a central portion of the outer enclosure back to the machine. Oil may pass from the peripheral portion to the central portion through a primary filter having a first porosity. A pressure-actuated valve is fixed fluidly between the portions of the outer enclosure. | 07-10-2014 |
20140209128 | Portable Overnight Degreasing System and Method of Use - The invention relates to a portable overnight degreasing system and a method of use. The invention includes a portable soak tank with a disposable liner bag liner that is placed within the interior of the soak tank. The liner bag is then filled with a cleaning solution and soiled items are lowered into the bag liner upon removable grates. The soiled items remain within the locked soak tank overnight or until grease and carbon falls off of the soiled items. An optional heater and/or pump may be used within the soak tank to increase the speed of degreasing. The soak tank also includes a slanted floor that funnels fluid from the interior of the soak tank into a pipe that connects to a valve on the front wall of the soak tank. Fluid is removed from the system through the valve and then the empty liner bag is disposed. | 07-31-2014 |
20140311533 | PROCESS FOR THE DEMULSIFYING CLEANING OF METALLIC SURFACES - The demulsifying cleaning of metallic surfaces which may be contaminated with oil(s) with at least one further nonpolar organic compound, with fat(s), with soap(s), with particulate dirt or with at least one anionic organic compound using an aqueous, alkaline, surfactant-containing bath solutions. | 10-23-2014 |
