Brief Introduction
This page introduces AQUAQUICK 2000, focusing on its eco-friendly composition and functionality, safety aspects, and application guidelines. It also briefly discusses its historical inception by Henri de Vries in response to a significant environmental disaster.
1.1 A Revolutionary Cleaning Product
AQUAQUICK 2000 is a groundbreaking, water-based cleaning product that leads the industry with its composition of ecological materials and plant extracts. With a primary focus on environmental conservation, this product is tailored to eliminate all animal, vegetable, synthetic, and mineral oils and greases (hydrocarbons) in an eco-friendly manner.
1.2 The Power of Nature
A unique aspect of AQUAQUICK 2000 is its ability to stimulate the explosive growth of bacteria and microorganisms naturally found in the environment. These organisms require a carbon source for their metabolic processes, growth, and multiplication. AQUAQUICK 2000 facilitates this process, enabling these organisms to convert the AQUAQUICK / hydrocarbon emulsion into harmless components like CO2 (carbon dioxide), H20 (water), Biomass, and energy. This biotransformation process is an aerobic one, meaning it consumes oxygen.
1.3 Safe and Non-Toxic
Due to its unique composition, AQUAQUICK 2000 is safe to use and does not pose any significant health risks. At a minimum dilution rate of 2%, it's non-toxic to aquatic organisms according to IMO regulations, further emphasizing its eco-friendly stance. Moreover, AQUAQUICK 2000 doesn't damage or affect metals, plastics, paints, coatings, rubbers, etc., making it a versatile cleaning solution.
1.4 Application
Before use, AQUAQUICK 2000 needs to be diluted with water—both fresh and sea water can be utilized. The dilution rate ranges from 1:50 (2%) to 1:600 (0.17%), allowing for flexibility depending on the cleaning requirements.
1.5 Historical Genesis
The invention of AQUAQUICK 2000 can be traced back to the passion and efforts of Henri de Vries. In 1967, following the catastrophic Torrey Canyon disaster where a Liberian super oil tanker stranded on the rocks of the British Island Cornwall spilled 120,000 tons of crude oil into the sea, a strong interest in environmentally friendly oil spill solutions arose. This disaster was the first of its kind involving a supertanker and became the most significant environmental disaster of its time.
Responding to the environmental crisis, Henri de Vries spearheaded the development of AQUAQUICK 2000, officially launching it in 1988. In the early years, he tirelessly marketed AQUAQUICK 2000, demonstrating its effectiveness in removing oil spills from roads and markets to Fire Departments and municipalities in the Netherlands. Joined by his son, Bart H de Vries, they traveled throughout their homeland, promoting AQUAQUICK 2000 and establishing long-term customer relationships.
