2. blue box system
Hydroxyl Tech’s BLUE BOX System uses chemical foams to clean all categories of industrial equipment. With the
development of its foam injection system, Hydroxyl Tech has greatly improved the speed, safety, and effectiveness
in cleaning large and complex systems. Servicing everything from boilers, heat exchangers, cooling towers, to
pipelines - what used to take days or weeks, our technicians now accomplish in hours. Instead of using tons of
equipment to perform a project, Hydroxyl Tech harnesses foam to do the hard work. Instead of creating huge
waste streams, Hydroxyl Tech’s system reduces waste by 90%. The end result is a safer and much more efficient
process that enables our clients to keep their equipment clean and improve their overall operations.

RETHINKING MAINTENANCE
Our BLUE BOX System greatly improves the industrial maintenance process by eliminating the need to
dismantle equipment, thereby achieving in hours what currently takes days to weeks. But the true value
delivered is the ability to control residue fouling with extreme precision. Foam gets in between pipes and
foam uses the reactive power of chemicals and friction to achieve what has always been impossible for
industry - that is to actually get the equipment clean.

3. industrial foam technology
BILLIONS OF BUBBLES
Traditional chemical cleaning has always had two main short comings. First, it generates a very large waste stream.
Second, the chemical solutions themselves are limited in penetrating through the multiple layers of residue fouling.
Foam overcomes both of these issues while delivering a far better clean. Because foam is basically trapped air, 1
gallon of a chemical solution can be turned into 25 gallons of foam. This means that only a fraction of chemicals
and water is needed to fill internal surface volume as is normally required. In addition to this, foam, at the
microscopic level, creates an enormous amount of friction and agitation when it comes into contact with residues.
This friction breaks apart molecules of residues, delivering a much more powerful mechanism for breaking down
scale and other residue build ups. This enables foam to act as a scouring brush against residue buildups that a
regular chemical wash simply cannot achieve. The result? Billions of bubbles working to remove nearly 100% of
all residues, leaving a throughly cleaned system.

SMALL = BIG IMPACT
With BLUE BOX, foam does the work. No heavy equipment. No large teams of work crews. This SMALL
FOOTPRINT = BIG IMPACT focus returns systems back to work faster, improves plant efficiency and improves
overall plant safety by eliminating the need for big, heavy equipment or crowded work areas.
REDUCED DOWNTIME + IMPROVED EFFICIENCY = NEW PROFITS
Reducing plant downtime saves time and money. Keeping equipment residue free dramatically reduces energy
consumption costs and CO2 output. Hydroxyl Tech is changing how companies can maintain their systems by
making the cleaning process faster, easier, and more profitable.

4. business sustainability
BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY
BLUE BOX delivers a new level of sustainability for businesses big and small by enabling their operations to
dramatically reduce their environmental footprint, while improving their operations and profitability.
HOW?
1. Reducing by 90% the volume of chemicals and water needed to clean equipment and facilities.
2. Reducing by 75% the normal downtime needed to clean big industrial systems
3. Reducing the fuel consumption of many systems, such as boilers, heat exchangers, etc, to run at “peak thermal
efficiency”.
RESULT:
1. Facilities consume less materials while producing more.
2. Equipment consume less energy, thereby reducing CO2 output, but still producing more.
3. The lower energy costs improves the bottom line.
EXAMPLE - BOILER CLEAN
Foam does more with less. The charts below highlights how little water and chemicals are used as
compared to a traditional chemical clean for a 10,000 gallon boiler. Whereas a boiler is traditionally
filled with a water/acid solution, the sheer internal volume of the boiler requires 10,000 gallons of a
chemical solution, which then means 10,000 gallons of a waste stream afterwards. However, with
foam, the numbers are dramatically different. 10,000 gallons of foam means 500 gallons of a final
waste stream.

6. passivating
Hydroxyl Tech’s BLUE BOX System can passivate your stainless steel systems faster, better, and with 90% less of a
waste stream than current methods. The key lies in the fact that BLUE BOX can circulate foam through pipelines,
fill large vats and tanks and ensure that 100% surface area is covered with our proprietary passivating foam
formulation.

ADVANTAGES
Passivating your stainless steel systems with foam will deliver a far more effective clean than is possible with a
normal liquid circulation primarily because of the friction. Circulating foam through pipelines and tanks generates
many times more friction than normal liquid circulation. The result is that foam scrubs away the micro iron oxides
from of the stainless steel surface, enabling the nitric acid to react more effectively and faster than if it was in a
liquid state.

7. biocide disinfecting
Thorough disinfecting of your processing facility is critical for your business. Ensuring complete surface area
coverage and thorough bacterial control currently requires the overuse of biocide disinfectants that often fail to
deliver exceptional results. BLUE BOX’s foam process greatly improves how facilities can keep their operations
clean and sanitized. Utilizing its proprietary foam injection system, BLUE BOX overcomes the current weakness
found in existing biocide practices of spraying down equipment. By using our biocide foams to deliver 100%
surface area coverage, BLUE BOX can cover your work areas faster and with dramatically less chemicals than
existing spray down processes.
