lines clean and working efÞ ciently. Selecting the Right Product ÒHow do you know what to look for in a bioremediation product you can trust?,Ó asks EnviroLogic CEO Jay H. Murland. It turns out that the number one thing to watch for is if a product boasts a neutral pH, whether diluted or concentrated. However, the real truth is in the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet). Many products that claim to be Ògreen,Ó actually still contain Hazmat properties. On a MSDS sheet, the HMIS (Hazardous Materials IdentiÞ cation System) safe- ty and health issue rating pertain to four areas: health, Þ re, reactivity, and hazard. The ratings with a zero (rare) indicate a purely clean and safe prod- uct. All of EnviroLogicÕs products have the zero rating. Additionally, the EPA-term SARA (Superfund Amendments and Reau- thorization Act of 1986 (U.S.) Hazard rating should show Title III Section 313: ÒNot ListedÓ and Fire (Section 311/312): ÒNoneÓ in order to prove full environmental compliance. (The SARA act amended the Comprehen- sive Environmental Response, Com- pensation, and Liability Act). Most recently, EnviroLogic has added FOG microbes to NavalKleen so in addition to the productÕs quick ability to dramatically reduce hydro- carbon build-up and cut through fats and grease that often accumulate in the galley bilge, it can now also be used on galley ß oors; an all-in-one cleaning solution.With todayÕs stringent environmen- tal regulations and zero risk goals in the shipping industry, it makes sense to use cost-effective, quality, proven bioremediation products in everyday marine and oil and gas applications. ItÕs the smart way to save time, money and the environment.
