What is Bioremediation?
The use of biological agents, such as microbes or
plants, to remove or neutralize contaminants.
How Bioremediation Works
Petroleum Contaminants
Enter Solution
Converted into H2O and CO2
Emulsified
& Eaten
How Bioremediation Works
Are Parts Washer Microbes Safe?
 Tiny fraction of all
bacteria on earth harmful
 Average human – 3 lbs!
 No genetic engineering –
all naturally occurring
 American Type Culture
Collection (ATCC) Class I
organisms
Are Parts Washer Microbes Safe?
SmartWasher
at Ft Gordon
 American Type Culture Collection
(ATCC) Class I Organisms
– Have “no recognized hazard under
normal conditions”
– Pose minimal risk to animals/humans
 National Safety Foundation (NSF)
– Certifies microbes used in ChemFree
SmartWashers as nonpathogenic &
safe for use in food handling facilities
Temperature & Microbes
 Hydrocarbon degrading microbe species reproduce
most actively at 105OF – 115OF
 Cold doesn’t kill – chilling/freezing slows metabolism
Lakehurst Pollution Prevention Equipment
Program – Evaluation Results
 Compared Safety Clean (solventbased) with ChemFree
SmartWasher (bioremediating)
 ChemFree SmartWasher
– Reduces waste-stream nearly 100%
saving $1,800 in disposal costs
– Solution can be used indefinitely
with only occasional replenishment
– Safe to use, does not require
personal protective equipment

Benefits of Bioremediating Parts Washers
Safe, non-hazardous,
non-toxic
Lowers
costs
Eliminates hazardous
waste generation
No flash point,
non-flammable
No liabilities from
employee exposure
to solvent
Extremely
Low VOCs
No EPA or OSHA
paperwork
Cleans as good or
better than solvents
No hauling
contracts
No time-consuming
regulatory reporting

Anatomy of a SmartWasher
Bioremediating Parts Washers
 “OzzyJuice” aqueous-based
cleaning/degreasing solution
– Cleans as well/quickly as solvents
– Without dangers of solvent
 Non-pathogenic "Ozzy" microbes
ChemFree SmartWasher
at NAEC Lakehurst
– Eat away at toughest contaminants
– Leave no hazardous by-products
OzzyJuice cleans the part,
Ozzy Microbes clean the OzzyJuice

Aqueous-based degreasing Solution
PH neutral
Uses no hazardous solvents
Not caustic
No flashpoint
Very low VOC (practically zero)

OzzyJuice: A Different Way to Clean
Mineral Spirits
OzzyJuice
Solvent degreaser/cleaning agent
Aqueous-based, PH-neutral mixture of
emulsifiers and surfactants
Hazardous
Nontoxic, biodegradeable, noncaustic
and nonhazardous oil dispersant and
degreaser
Dissolves top layer of oil, without ever
removing all oil from the part
Separates grease from part so
"chunks" slide off -- light brushing or
rinsing completes the process
Works by suspending oil/grease, which
causes solvent to become dirtier and
less effective the more it is used
Retains its consistency over time
without requiring disposal under
normal use conditions
If maintained properly, never requires change of fluid
OzzyMats
 Particulate filter traps large particles of grease/oil
 Impregnated with Ozzy Microbes – releases microbes
into the SmartWasher
 FL-3 OzzyMat: for light – normal usage
FL-4 Multilayered OzzyMat: for heavy usage
 Without Ozzy Microbes, bioremediation will not occur
and SmartWasher will not work
Critical Maintenance:
Change the OzzyMat at least once a month
SmartWasher/OzzyJuice FAQ’s
When do I add additional OzzyJuice?
Due to evaporation and parts run-off, add one box
(5 gallon jug) when Low Fluid Light indicates
OzzyJuice is low
SmartWasher/OzzyJuice FAQ’s
How do I avoid excess
evaporation of Fluid?
Set the temperature at lowest
workable temperature (105 F)
Ozzy Cap Lid Cover available
for SW -28 SuperSinks
SmartWasher/OzzyJuice FAQ’s
Are there any things I should avoid?
Water: Avoid contaminating OzzyJuice with tap water,
which can introduce water-borne microbes not compatible
with Ozzy Microbes (small amounts won’t hurt)
Gasoline and other Solvents: Dumping of excessive
amounts of hydrocarbons and can kill Ozzy Microbes
Insecticides & Poisons: Ozzy Microbes are living
organisms, and will be killed by such chemicals
SmartWasher/OzzyJuice FAQ’s
How do I dispose of OzzyJuice?
New & Unused OzzyJuice/Mats: Because of its minimal
environmental impact, new/unused OzzyJuice can be
flushed into a sanitary; mats can be thrown in the trash
Used OzzyJuice/Mats: Used fluid/mats will contain
contaminants such as oil/grease/carbon in residual
amounts as well as other non-digestible substances
(metal shavings) that need to be disposed of in
accordance with local, state and federal regulations
SmartWasher/OzzyJuice FAQ’s
Where is the best place to buy replacement
OzzyJuice, Mats and replacement parts?
Purchase all OzzyJuice, OzzyMats, equipment and other
SmartWasher items through authorized ChemFree

Conclusions about SmartWashers
 ChemFree SmartWashers use Bioremediation:
a safe process using naturally occurring microbes to
degrade hazardous substances
 OzzyJuice cleans the part, Ozzy Microbes (via
OzzyMat) clean the OzzyJuice
 Change the OzzyMat once a month to keep your
SmartWasher working at peak efficiency
 Add one box of OzzyJuice when low fluid light
indicates the OzzyJuice degreasing solution is low
Adios Amoebas!
