Para Trooper Fact Sheet   

Description

Para Trooper is a revolutionary new product that is specifically designed for the maritime shipping industry. Para Trooper is a powerful emulsifiable solvent that is used to clean hard to remove paraffin residue from the storage tanks of cargo vessels. This product has been proven to outperform other paraffin wax solvents in both laboratory tests and actual usage. When applied at the proper temperature to wax, Para Trooper instantly emulsifies even long chain paraffin to form a paste, which can be easily removed from the storage tanks. Para trooper is effective on waxes, paraffins, asphalt, tar, crude oil, creosote, long chain fatty acids, petroleum byproducts and other hard to remove hydrocarbons. Para Trooper contains no acids, no alkalis, and no chlorinated solvents or other hazardous ingredients. This product contains only biodegradable surfactants. Para Trooper is certified by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for use in international waters.

Business Problem Addressed

When substances containing long chain hydrocarbons are shipped in holding tanks, it is very difficult to remove the built up deposits once the tank is emptied. The residual sediment is oftentimes scraped by hand and the resulting waste material has to be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. The manual process takes time and the disposal of the waste material adds to the overall expense. Para Trooper can breakdown the paraffin coating in a very short period of time, and the resulting paste can be pumped out for easy disposal. Para Trooper has been used successfully in the maritime industry for over eight years.
