Probiotic cleaners VS chemical cleaners: which is best?

In the debate between traditional chemical and biological cleaners, product cost per litre or per case is often a decisive factor when choosing between the two. Biological cleaners tend to be more expensive on a per litre basis due to higher raw material costs. They’re also expensive because the producers are often smaller companies who don’t enjoy the same economies of scale as mainstream producers. To many in the facilities management industry, biological cleaners appear to deliver poor value compared to their chemical counterparts. But are companies measuring the costs of cleaning correctly? It’s an important question, especially for cleaning contractors on slim margins who are tasked with purchasing the cleaning products and applying them.

In Hydrocarbon storage there is a high likelihood of water contamination, this water gathers underneath the hydrocarbon cargo and can cause accelerated corrosion of the tank, requiring the lining of the base and 1 meter up the wall. For linings to perform as intended they need to have a chemical and mechanical bond to the substrate, which requires the steel to be clean, reactive and rough, often achieved through abrasive blasting.
