Zyme-Flow Process
SM

Eliminates benzene, LEL, H2S, and pyrophoric iron sulfides

Safe, biodegradable and compatible with metallurgy and wastewater systems

The Zyme-Flow Process offers the most complete decontamination solution for refining and petrochemical applications. In a single step, the Zyme-Flow Process removes oil, gas, LEL, hydrogen sulfide, benzene and pyrophoric iron sulfides. At the same time, it reduces sludge and conditions for COD control. The patented formulation is highly effective, fast-acting and safe for personnel, plant equipment and the environment. As a result, Zyme-Flow treatment dramatically reduces the time required to prepare equipment for entry while eliminating safety and procedural concerns associated with cleaning, degassing and environmental compliance.

A Versatile Solution _____________

The Zyme-Flow Process attacks, breaks down and emulsifies not only hydrocarbon liquids, but also vapors within process equipment. Active in liquid, vapor and foam phases, ZymeFlow can be applied as an aqueous solution in circulation or through a proprietary VapourPhase steam cleaning process using the plants existing steam-out procedures. In a Vapour-Phase procedure, Zyme-Flow is injected or educted directly into a steam source, allowing contact and penetration of all surfaces. The Vapour-Phase SM process is the fastest method for entering process equipment and consistently reduces steam-out time up to 75%. It also avoids the costs of temporary circulation pumps, while reducing the amount of waste generated.

oil- and sludge-free surfaces. Zyme-Flow Process technology can be merged into shutdown operations, minimizing turnaround time and often reducing outside contractor costs.

Safe. Zyme-Flow chemistry is non-toxic, nonhazardous and biodegradable. It contains no volatile compounds and has no flammability concerns. The Material Safety Data Sheet hazard rating for Zyme-Flow is 0-0-0. Unlike other products, it does not form toxic by-products of sulfides during the decontamination process. All reactions with sulfides are non-exothermic and safe with light hydrocarbons.

predicted. Throughout the process, United Laboratories International personnel monitor all key project parameters, including H2S, benzene, LEL, sulfides in water, pH, temperature and Zyme-Flow concentration. The end point is accurate and verifiable.

Decontamination Planning ______

United Laboratories International, LLC, provides the industrys most comprehensive pre-project planning services. After extensive consultation with refinery personnel and onsite inspection of all equipment and piping, detailed procedures are specified, including chemical injection points, required fluid volumes and all necessary refinery preparations. The final planning package includes projected waste volumes/hazard levels, a cost analysis and a time line for the project.

Environmentally Friendly. Zyme-Flow is not a solvent. It is a completely biodegradable, all-aqueous formula that is free of volatile organic compounds.
When applied in the Vapour-Phase process, it eliminates the odor problems associated with conventional steaming. The effectiveness of Zyme-Flow treatment significantly reduces EPAregulated waste generated by hydroblasting.

H2S Benzene LEL Temp (C)

Benefits _________________________
Effective. The Zyme-Flow Process reduces
hydrogen sulfide to near zero, LEL's to near zero and benzene exposure to less than 1 ppm, normally without a separate stripping process on the wash water. It eliminates pyrophoric iron sulfide and other reacting sulfides as an integral part of the decontamination process. Excessive steam-out times are no longer necessary and emulsions formed separate quickly without the need for a breaker.

Global Technical Support ________

United Laboratories International provides engineering and applications support worldwide. Services include engineered decontamination planning, project management, technical training, execution and follow-up. Services are provided by engineers and chemists with extensive experience in refining and wastewater treatment.
