US Army Corps of Engineers Dams: d Limonene & NPB Solvents

d Limonene & NPB Solvents Used to Maintain Hydroelectric Generators

If you are bidding on any Army Corps of Engineers project that have specified the use of Electron solvent or denatured alcohol for wiping the rotor of a large hydro electric generator, please call 800 563-1305 or email info@ecolink.com.

Electron solvent is approaching its 20th anniversary and was originally approved by Siemens-Westinghouse and General Electric for their turbines and generators. Ecolink Inc. offers denatured alcohol and other commodity chemicals used during the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of hydroelectric generators. However, if you prefer a non-flammable alternative with much more solvency than denatured alcohol or comparable industrial cleaners than we urge you to upgrade to Hypersolve™ as a safe, effective and best-in-class NPB solvent.
When paired with Electron it delivers a 1-2 punch that knocks out even the most baked on, caked on dirt and soils.
