United Laboratories International, LLC is dedicated to the research and development of innovative technology that addresses environmental concerns and employee safety, encompassing an expanding market. Our goal is to simplify decontamination projects, promote safety, reduce total decontamination costs and reduce time, with environmentally - friendly solutions. Representatives are available for job design, job management, technical assistance and customer training.

For more than three decades in the Specialty Chemical industry, United Laboratories, Inc. Forged a leadership position in the evolution of environmentally sound alternatives to hazardous cleaning compounds.

In the 1980's, this initiative led to the introduction of a special degreasing agent featuring naturally occurring enzymes and surfactants which was developed for United's waste water treatment market. For several years, this environmentally benign product, Zyme-Flow®, was successfully marketed to Waste Water Treatment Plants across North America for general purpose degreasing and for tertiary filter media remediation.

Early in the 1990's, United began to explore other markets for Zyme-Flow®. It's unique separation capabilities and inherent compatibility with waste stream requirements suggested potential application in the decontamination of petroleum - fouled surfaces and equipment.

A United representative encouraged a major west coast refinery to use Zyme- Flow® to open a 2,000 foot length of a 12-inch outflow line. The effective diameter of the line had been narrowed to 4 inches by bone-dry waste activated sludge. Due to the condition of the pipe, pressurization was not an option.

A solution of Zyme-Flow® product in the range of .5 to 1.25% was introduced resulting in the re-watering of the sludge and complete unblocking of the line. The procedure produced zero hazardous waste and the wash water, sludge and all, was sent directly to the treatment plant.

The work was accomplished entirely by refinery personnel. A decontamination demonstration was then set up to compare Zyme-Flow® and the regularly used competitor's product. The test examined cleaning ability and emulsion forming tendency. Impressed by the side by side comparison, the operations staff decided to utilize Zyme-Flow® in a heated circulation loop to decontaminate their Flexi-Coker.

From that point forward, Zyme-Flow® has enjoyed widespread use and success in the petrochemical and refining industries.
