It’s time to get serious about the Earth.
Credit: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center
Forty years after Earth Day began, the global consciousness about the state of our planet is definitely raised. However, there is still a lot of work to do before we reverse the effects of climate change and take dedicated action to clean up our home. So, as you go out celebrating at various events today (or whether you decide to stay indoors and rap with Biz Markie instead), think about what long-term commitments you and your family want to make in order to save our planet. There is no day like the 40th Earth Day to get serious about going green.

Twenty years ago Ecolink Inc. was established by Bill Green (now with Macquarie Capital Funds) to replace Class I Ozone Depleting Solvents and other hazardous chemicals. Their flagship products Electron and Positron were adopted originally by Westinghouse, now owned by Siemens, and General Electric for the maintenance of turbines, generators, motors, rotors, stators, and windings. The US Department of Defense adopted both of these environmentally preferred cleaners, solvents, and degreasers to maintain weapon systems and ground support equipment.
After our initial success of replacing bad industrial chemicals with better industrial chemicals, Ecolink embarked on chemical management as a best practice to close the loop that led to the formation of SCMG – Strategic Chemical Management Group. This group worked with several public utilities, including Southern California Edison in California, New Jersey Public Service Electric & Gas (PSEG), and Florida Power Corp., now known as Progress Energy. Ecolink continues to refine its material throughput management approach by asking how to reduce further chemical risk exposure. Is it essential? Is it efficiency? Answering ‘No’ to either question triggers the start to Ecolink’s cleaning process design and mechanical cleaning systems configuration.
What are your sustainability goals or compliance needs? VOC’s, flammability, toxicity? Whatever your goal, Ecolink partners with its customers to first use less chemicals through better performing chemicals and processes and then focus on the environmental profile to improve safety to people and the planet. Every day is Earth Day. Celebrate!
Earth Day Remix Lyrics
Did you even know the Senate was deciding your fate?
Ten years for clean energy they wanted you to wait
Let me tell you a story of our situation
And how we’ll Repower this U.S. nation
Two things are goin’ on — I hate to bust your bubble
But the climate is changin’ and the economy’s in trouble
Walkin’ down the street in Cleveland town
A woman passed by, I said “Why you look so down?”
She said “I lost my job, my only hope’s clean energy
Closed down the auto plant, we need a factory.”
Ready to work, we got the science and skill
And for 2 million jobs, all we need’s a strong bill
You’d think our leaders would jump at the chance
But the lobbyists got them shakin’ in their pants
So I went to the Senate, asked for real change
But when I sprung the question, they acted real strange
All we need is a clean energy law
But all they’re just hearing is “blah blah blah”
Come on, I’m not even going for it
You, you got what I need…
Cause we need clean energy
We need clean energy
AMERICA!
We need clean energy
Cause we need clean energy
Cause we need clean energy…
AMERICA!
We need clean energy
Cause we need energy
Cause we need clean energy…
Please!

Removing Carbon Deposits from Stator Bars, Stator Motors
/in Electrical Contact Cleaning Solutions/by Industrial DegreasersStator bar insulation failures
Stator bar insulation failures often occur as a result of carbon deposits. If a failure occurs while in service it can cause extensive collateral damage to the generator stator core and field, which can extend a forced outage several months. The severe impact of a winding or stator insulation failure on generator availability demonstrates the importance of a thorough, routine leak testing and repair plan. Removing carbon deposits is a bigger job than can be handled by conventional contact cleaners and rags. Industrial degreasers such as Ecolink’s flagship products, Electron and Positron, have been in use for this very application for over 20 years. Approved and in use by Siemens, General Electric and Alstom, these solvent degreasers deliver incredible cleaning performance while also easy to work with including high flash point (above 140°F), high dielectric strength (46,000 volts) and no surface leakage of current in immediate residue tests. More importantly they are very cost-effective saving money on inbound shipping, freight and outbound disposal costs.

Nonflammable Degreasers for Imperial Electric Motors
/in Ecolink News/by Industrial DegreasersImperial Electric Motors – Protecting Your Investment
The best way to maximize your Imperial Electric Motor investment is through proper operations and maintenance. Friction is the enemy of all moving pieces, especially metal-on-metal contact. Elevators and escalators are extremely sensitive to surface wear and represent a potential liability if not properly maintained. The challenge is the ongoing changes to the types of cleaning solvents can be used. Operating in California is a different level of rules and compliance regulations than any other state. So how do you protect your investment while also adhering to the latest round of EPA and OSHA regulation standards?
Nonflammable degreasers are ideal for the following reasons:
Ecolink 3005 aerosol and Triagen aerosols are ideal solutions depending on the soil density and age of the soils, i.e. time elapsed between maintenance intervals. Ecolink 3005 works better for lighter soils and Triagen is ideal for true metal degreasing where VOC’s are not an issue – i.e. California. Both solutions ‘significantly’ out-perform LPS Labs Electro Contact Cleaner. With 35-55% propellant (air), Electro Contact Cleaner is an embarrassment to the chemical industry. Read their MSDS and give us a call to evaluate a product that works and lasts 1-3 times longer than Electro Contact Cleaner.

Wind Power 2010 in Texas – Less than 30 Days Away
/in Ecolink News/by Industrial DegreasersWind generator repair and maintenance chemicals
Gearboxes, gears, and bearings are the primary moving parts that negatively impact up time and revenues. Ecolink Inc. supplies a variety of industrial solvents and industrial cleaners to thousands of wind power turbines. With more than 30,000 megawatts under contract for industrial degreasers, including Next Era Energy and FPL Wind, we know how to get the job done with the least amount of cleaning chemicals and labor resulting in shorter maintenance intervals. We are also well versed with the complicated regulations including CARB and the various Air Quality Management Districts (AQMD) in California. In 2008, we partnered with FPL Wind at the Altamont Pass with over 6,000 turbines.
Brake and choke cleaners are common wind generator repair and maintenance chemicals. The problems using this category of cleaner degreaser:
Solution:
Ecolink 3005 and Positron (solvent) and S-34 NG (aqueous) – any of these three will get the job done in the field or in the shop. FREE samples are available and all aerosol cans are filled to minimize propellant or water where applicable in solvent vs. aqueous formulations.
