Starting Up A New Cleaning Process

Q: I am cleaning steel parts; can I use the same cleaning agent to clean aluminum parts?
A: Yes, you simply have to make sure that the product you use in your process is compatible with the metals or alloys of the parts you want to wash.
Q: What is the best way to monitor my chemical concentration?
A: Depending on the type of cleaning agent, you can use titration or conductivity. pH is not a reliable method in most cases.
Q: How can I tell if my parts are clean?
A: There are a variety of methods to verify the level of cleanliness of your parts. Depending on the standards you must meet, you can use Millipore, surface tension, visual inspection, etc.
Q: How do I dispose of the chemistry after I am done using it?
A: Depends on local regulations/laws. You can use a treatment system either in your plant or a company that is dedicated to waste disposal.
