Description
Consists of a specific combination of detergent surfactants which have an excellent cleaning efficiency in neutral and alkaline solutions already at very low dosing rates. KEBOSOL AN emulsifies fatty and oily substances (e.g. residues of antifroth oils) and disperses thin films of dirt. Thus redeposition and adhesion to the heat surfaces are prevented. KEBOSOL AN can be used at alkali concentrations up to approx. 25 % and temperatures up to 100°C.
Benefits
During chemical cleaning operations in the sugar industry the following advantages have proved a success when adding KEBOSOL AN:
- The dissolution of sugar decomposition products and other inconvenient organic components (e.g. proteins) in alkaline solutions is considerably improved.
- At alkaline pretreatments calcium compounds (such as calcium sulfate (gypsum), calcium oxalate, calcium silicate a.s.o.) being difficult to dissolve are transformed into acid soluble compounds by adding KEBOSOL AN. As a result the treatment period is considerably shortened.
- At intermediate cleanings the removal of detached sludge is improved.
- Consequently the requirement of acid is considerably reduced. During the alkaline aftertreatment the decomposition of acid insoluble silicates and organic substances is intensified and the removal of acid residues is favoured. This is of utmost importance as even small acid residues remaining in the smallest pores may cause serious corrosion.
- The addition of KEBOSOL AN supports the neutralization of acid also in the smallest pores and crazings owing to its good wetting properties. At the final rinsing the removal of residual sludge is improved.
- By adding KEBOSOL AN to alkaline cleaning solutions also sugar charcoal can be removed.
- When cleaning filter cloth in neutral or weakly alkaline solution KEBOSOL AN particularly favours the removal of especially persistent dirt particles from the pores of the textiles by reducing the adhesive forces.
Dosing, Addition
The dosing rates amount to:
- alkaline pretreatment of apparatus with normal contamination (up to 5 % total alkali content) 0.1 - 0.2 %
- alkaline pretreatment of apparatus with thick contamination (more than 5 % total alkali content) 0.2 - 0.5 %
- alkaline aftertreatment/neutralization (up to 2 % total alkali content) 0.1%

The products shown on our website are only a selection of our entire product range. There is no universal remedy for the rapid removal of impurities. Some can be removed well with alkaline agents, others better in the acidic range. The large variety of conceivable cleaning problems and the large number of additives, inhibitors and ready-to-use cleaning solutions offered by us make it advisable to obtain detailed advice before starting cleaning.
The same applies to inhibitors, defoamers, scale preventers, corrosion inhibitors, pickling inhibitors, etc. Depending on the plant, material, product and the type of boiler/cooling water is used, different individual challenges arise. We are well equipped for them.
