How To Dispose of Alnochromix Cleaner
Q: How do you dispose of Alnochromix cleaner and sulfuric acid mixtures? What kind of container can hold the mixture, and what are the outgasses?
A: Excellent question about what disposal and containers are recommend, and what outgasses are there from an Alnochromix®/sulfuric acid solution. The mixture of Alnochromix and concentrated sulfuric acid forms peroxydisulfuric acid, bisulfate salts, and persulfate salts along, which will be present with sulfuric acid. The mixture will outgas sulfur dioxide and oxygen when oxidizing organic residues. This is why you want to store in a vented container. Vent caps are available at Alconox.com in the shop.

Liquinox vs. Citranox
Q: What is the difference between Liquinox vs. Citranox? We are using Liquinox for many of our applications but are having trouble with stainless steel cleaning cannulas with a small ID. Is Citranox the answer if the residue is inorganic?
A: Although Liquinox detergent is excellent at cleaning a host of residues, Citranox cleaner is indeed the better choice if we are fairly certain this is a largely inorganic residue.
Cleaning Solar Panels with Minimal Water
Q. How to clean installed solar panels using minimum amounts of water.
A. For field cleaning of solar modules I recommend using Liquinox detergent. This is a concentrate that would be used at a 1% solution (1.25 oz/gal, or 10 mL/L). Liquinox is not harmful to discharge onto the ground in an agricultural setting.
