Zi-400 HD – The truck wash that protects against corrosion
Many truck washes on the market deliver an effective clean, but are highly corrosive, which will reduce the lifespan of vehicles dramatically, increase the cost of maintenance and repairs and lead to loss of profits due to vehicle downtime.
To maintain the longevity of your valuable assets, Zi-400 HD is the ultimate cleaning solution. Not only does Zi-400 HD deliver a powerful clean equal to any truck wash, it has been scientifically proven to protect vehicles against corrosion. In cases where corrosion has already began, cleaning with Zi-400 HD has also been proven to slow down the corrosion process significantly – almost to a stop.
Zi-400 HD’s water-based formula is safe, gentle on the environment, non-flammable and is a quick-break agent, making it suitable for mobile mechanical servicing and cleaning.

Mechanical repairs and preventative maintenance
Solidus Industries have been a trusted supplier of safe and
Oil Refineries
During operation wind turbines naturally build up dirt and contaminates on the surface of their blades. Technically described as ‘fouling’, this build up disrupts the laminar flow of air across the blade leading to reduced turbine efficiency. Both computer modelling and actual field results show that dirty turbine blades can result in up to 5% of loss of performance. Loss of performance equates to less power that the turbine is generating – ultimately eating away at profits.
Solidus Industries recommend regularly washing the blades of a wind turbine with our Zi-400 HD Industrial Cleaner. Highly effective on residual build-up and safe to use on composites, Zi-400 HD is also scientifically proven to prevent corrosion in alloy and metal componentry, making it the ultimate product for cleaning wind turbine blades.
Onshore Oil and Gas Fields
Gas turbines can lose 10% of their efficiency if they are not cleaned regularly.
Solidus Industries are the Oceania distributors of ZOK 27, a revolutionary gas turbine compressor cleaner that has achieved astounding results in natural gas power stations across the world, boosting engine performance, reducing fuel consumption, minimising downtime and increasing the overall lifespan of engine components.
Clean and Protect Your Engine with ZOK
We recommend developing a custom washing schedule of on-line and off-line washes with ZOK 27 to increase efficiency, reduce wear and tear and ultimately provide the maximum return on your investment.
Internationally renowned as a dynamic all in one water-based cleaner and corrosion inhibitor, ZOK 27 is officially certified by Siemens, General Electric, Rolls-Royce, Mitsubishi, Pratt & Whitney, Solar Turbines and Kawasaki.
External Applications
For external cleaning of heat exchangers, pipelines and other power station machinery, our Zi-400 HD Industrial cleaning product is renowned for its ability to safely and effectively remove residual build up while simultaneously inhibiting corrosion.
Offshore Oil and Gas Platforms
The vast benefits of Solar as a renewable energy source are becoming increasingly recognised in Australia, with over 9 GW of large scale solar projects under construction in 2019, amounting to a national investment of $11 Billion AUD. On top of this, there are now over 2 million Australian homes utilising solar panels on their roof. Considering that Australia has the largest concentration of solar radiation per square metre of any continent in the world, it makes sense that Solar Energy will play an integral part of the country’s power generation industry of the future.
To fulfil this potential, it is important that solar panels across Australia are regularly cleaned to ensure that they are operating at maximum capacity.
Clean Solar Panels = Increased Efficiency = Financial Sustainability
Why do Solar Panels need to be cleaned? During operation, it is natural for dust and other airborne contaminates to settle on the solar panels. Heat and moisture then bake the contaminants onto the solar panel, creating shade on the silicon cells underneath which ultimately reduces the panel’s ability to receive energy from the sun. Testing has suggested that dirty solar panels can lead to a reduction of efficiency of 25%. ZI-400 HD Industrial is the perfect product for removing contaminants and restoring the panel to its full original factory efficiency.
Glass & Window Manufacturing
Glass and window manufacturers build their reputation on the quality of workmanship and pristine finish of their products. During the manufacturing process, it is therefore essential that glass surfaces are given a spotless clean, especially when producing double glazed windows.
Finding a cleaning product that produces a crystal-clear finish, while removing a range of contaminants the glass may be exposed to is key.
When diluted at a 100:1 ratio, Zi-400 HD Industrial cleaner is the ideal cleaning product for glass and window manufacturing. With its powerful yet gentle water based formula, Zi-400 HD effortlessly removes fingerprints, cutting oil, dirt and dust build ups while cleaning glass surfaces to perfection. It is also extremely cost effective due its high dilution rate.
Double glazed window manufacturers have reported excellent results using Zi-400 HD Industrial followed by rinsing with demineralised water.
Additionally, Zi-400 HD has advanced anti-corrosion abilities. Originally developed for the Aviation industry, Zi-400 HD has been scientifically proven to inhibit corrosion in steel and aluminium, making it the perfect cleaning product for aluminium window frames before they leave the factory.
Case Study – Over 99% availability with ZOK
A combined cycle power station operated by Sithe Sterling Energy in upstate New York was responsible for providing electricity to a nearby Oneida manufacturing plant.
With an integrated fitout of a GE Frame 6B gas turbine compressor engine, Zurn HRSG and extraction steam turbine, Sithe estimated that to successfully meet their supply demands they would need to maintain an availability rate of 95.6% and reliability factor of 97.0% of their gas turbine compressor engines.
Thanks to a regular cleaning program using ZOK, their actual results were significantly higher.
| Actual Availability Rate | Actual Reliability Factor | |
| 98.5% | 99% | Year 1 |
| 96.5% | 98% | Year 2 |
| 99.3% | 99.9% | Year 3 |
The Power of Preventative Maintenance
Sithe attributed this success to a consistent routine of washing their gas turbine compressor engine to ensure peak performance. An on-line water wash was performed each day the engine was in operation, with ZOK 27 detergent used on alternate days. For on-line hot washes, ZOK would be used for the first 3 minutes of the water wash, followed by a 17 minute rinse. In addition to daily hot washes, Sithe performed a quarterly off-line cold wash with ZOK.
The balance of consistent on-line and off-line washes is the key to success. Sithe experienced this first hand during a period when they ran their gas turbine compressor engine for 201 consecutive days without an off-line wash. Their calculations showed that the gas turbine output had fallen by 5.6% and the heat rate by 2.4%. Following an off-line wash with ZOK 27, the engine’s performance was restored to its original levels.
Thanks to Sithe’s consistent routine of on-line and off-line washing with ZOK 27, readings between quarterly off-line cleans showed only a minimal reduction of output performance (0.4%) and minimal heat rate increases (0.3%).
