Activ-Ox® Foam Clean

1 of 1 products in this brand
Activ-Ox® Foam Cleaning system offers the ability to effectively clean light to moderately fouled packs in-situ by combining the disinfecting power of chlorine dioxide with the cleaning and descaling power of a weakly acidic surfactant mixture. The system produces a high-cling foam which is applied to the surfaces to be cleaned under low pressure. The potential hazard of aerosols is avoided and the cleaning effect can be observed visually. Accepta® Activ-Ox® Foam Clean is based on phosphoric acid and incorporates a foaming agent tolerant to acid and chlorine dioxide.

Features & Benefits

Product Features
  • Foam Cleaner is a two part solution supplied as an A & B component to be mixed at a 1:1 ratio to create an instant reaction of acidic chlorine dioxide for a complete cooling tower pack cleaning system.
  • Foam Cleaner forms a stable wet high cling foam that will flow slowly through the tower packing cleaning, descaling and disinfecting as it progresses. It is mildly acidic so as to remove inorganic scales.
  • Chlorine dioxide is universally recognized as an excellent biocide and disinfectant for a wide range of applications because of its unique combination of properties. It is fast-acting and potent, effective against biofilm and legionella and doesn’t form halogenated disinfection by-products like THM’s. So, if Chlorine Dioxide is the ideal Biocide, Activ-Ox is the perfect means of dosing it.
Product Benefits
  • Can be used to clean tower packing without removal making it an effective alternative to cooling tower pack removal.
  • Excellent pack penetration.
  • Descales and disinfects in a single procedure.
  • Simple and easy to use - only recommended for experienced operators
  • Simple, Safe & Cost Effective Chlorine Dioxide - Instantly.
  • Instant super high yield reaction - The patented Activ-Ox® chemistry produces an instant, super high-yield of chlorine dioxide avoiding waste and ensuring cost effective treatment.
  • Simplified dosing system - The unique chemistry allows for uncomplicated dosing set up with no need for a large generator chamber and no storage of hazardous clo2 gas! The reaction takes place instantly within the compact reaction tee which is installed directly into the water line being treated.
  • Multiple applications - with its inherent simplicity and safety Activ-Ox® is suitable for numerous applications from a small office domestic to the largest of industrial applications.
  • Market leading ClOâ‚‚ technology - The combination of a unique, instantly reacting chemistry and a simplified cost-effective dosing system make selling activ-ox clo2 an easy proposition.
  • Add value - Installing an Activ-Ox® unit in a suitable application will solve a multitude of problems and help you keep your client safe and compliant while providing your business with an on-going and profitable revenue stream from chemical and servicing sales.
  • Marketing tools & consultancy - Data from multiple case studies is available to prove Activ-Ox® efficacy for Legionella control and other applications. New marketing videos have also been developed explicitly for re-branding by our partners.

Application & Dosage Information

When applying Accepta Activ-Ox Foam Cleaner foam, always wear a full-face respirator fitted with a B2P3 filter cartridge

Required equipment: Spray Systems Jet Stream Foam Unit and compressed air supply or jet washer fitted with special foam lance attachments.

Prepare the appropriate activated foam mixture in a clean 25L drum as follows:

a) Standard Mixture (light general fouling)

  • 1 part Foam Cleaner Part A
  • 1 part Foam Cleaner Part B
  • Agitate to mix then add 18 parts of water
  • Agitate to mix and decant into the foam unit.

b) Enhanced Biocide Mixture (predominantly biological fouling

  • 1 part Foam Cleaner Part A
  • 2 part Foam Cleaner Part B
  • Agitate to mix then add 17 parts of water
  • Agitate to mix and decant into the foam unit

Apply foam of the correct consistency by adjusting the control valve on the foam unit. It is recommended that the foam is applied in the following sequence so as to avoid the problem of working below falling foam:

  1. Vertical surfaces of the sump (if they require foam cleaning). The foam should be applied sufficiently dry to cling to the vertical surfaces with only a gradual creep under gravity.
    NB If necessary to enter the sump to apply the foam then normal vessel entry / confined space requirements should be observed and full-face respirator with a B2P3 filter cartridge worn.
  2. The cooling tower pack and vertical surfaces above the packing. The foam consistency should be adjusted to enable the foam to percolate slowly through the pack without excessive liquid run-off.
  3. Over-head drift eliminators

Discard all unused activated foam solution.

Supplemental Products

When using Activ-Ox foam cleaning products drain the tower sump and fill with 2 inches of clean water and add the following cocktail of chemicals to neutraise the foam as ti drips into the sump. It is always advisable to carry out a ‘Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health’ (COSHH) assessment before use.

  • Approx 500ml/m³ of Accepta 2315 Defoamer
  • Approx 500ml/m³ of Accepta Dechlor
