Project Number 1

Summary:

Five cleaning trials were conducted. The Gemtek SC Aircraft & Metal cleaner was shown to be an effective cleaner for both the lubricants supplied to the lab. The additional mechanical energy (air sparging) helped to increase the cleaning process. Additional forms of mechanical energy that could be supplied (in additional to or in place of the sparging) are, rotational, vibrational or ultrasonic energy.

Test Objective:

To find a replacement for Trichloroethylene
