Effluent

Since VPRX is a solvent based cleaner with all oil soluble components, VPRX remains in the oil phase of the effluent after use, and has very little impact on the water effluent. Any effluent of a VPRX wash will readily separate to an oil phase and a water phase. The oil phase can be handled as any typical oil effluent.

Reduces concerns about Safety, the Environment and Regulations.

VPRX is biodegradable. Non-toxic, non-corrosive and free of chlorinated solvents and petroleum distillates. It’s the eco-friendly alternative to hazardous solvents. Safe for workers and the environment.
