Ecological aspects of cleaning and disinfection Part 3: Chain lubricants and amine acetates as well as proprietary cleaning agents and disinfectants
An evaluation of ecological impact of cleaning agents and disinfectants has to include chain lubricants and their individual components. Some of these agents have good microbicidal action so as to ensure hygiene on conveyer belts. The extent to which they - and a number of other cleaning agents and disinfectants - have an influence on degradability in waste water and whether they themselves are biodegradable has been investigated at the State Institute for Research and Testing of Brewing Technology in Weihenstephan.
Test methods used have been described in "Ecological aspects of cleaning and disinfection, Part 1: Monobromoacetic acid" (see "Brauwelt International" no. VI, 1999, p. 508). They were displaced by amine-based agents.
