Star Mud and Silt Remover

Find out more

Continued use of Star Mud and Silt Remover prevents the deposition of sediments, mud or silt in ballast tanks, cooling water systems, pipelines and all non-potable water storage and transit systems onboard ship. Further, it can be used with mechanical action to dislodge existing mud or silt in ballast tanks.

Star Mud and Silt Remover should be injected in small quantities into ballast or cooling water systems prior to filling the tanks or system. Mud present will not adhere to either itself or to bulkheads, tank structures or inside pipelines. If heavy deposits are present, an increased dosage will remove a portion of the sediment after each application. Thick mud deposits will require several applications.

Benefits

  • A highly effective liquid compound for the removal of sediments, silt and mud from ballast tanks, cooling water systems, pipelines.
  • Keeps mud in suspension and will clean fouled systems completely, provided the appropriate dosage levels and application times are adhered to.
  • A polymer-based product, it does not contain acid, alkali or solvent.
  • Completely biodegradable and has no hazard indications.

Variants

25 ltrs

Directions for use

Inject Star Mud and Silt Remover, preferably into the suction line of the ballast or cooling water pump to ensure thorough mixing with the incoming water. If possible, circulate the water through the tanks and the suspended mud and silt will be pumped out when de-ballasting.

Dosage

One litre of Star Mud and Silt Remover per each 10 tonnes of ballast water.

One litre of Star Mud and Silt Remover per each 10 tonnes of cooling water.

For the removal of existing accumulations, increase the dosage by 2-3 times depending on the ballast time available and the quantity of mud to be removed.
