VertKleen has cleared 20-year rust, run brewery CIP trials, descaled refrigeration plants, and washed occupied campuses with the core HMIS 0-0-0 line. Every result below ran on a live site, with the before-and-after photos, lab numbers, and source document to back it.

Carib Brewery (CBUSA) evaluated HCR against the conventional CIP acid. HCR matched the clean at less than half the concentration and left no nitrogen or phosphorus in the effluent.
| Measure | VertKleen HCR | CIP acid (replaced) |
|---|---|---|
| pH | 1.0 | <1 |
| Sample concentration | 7% | 15% |
| Nitrogen (mg/L) | 0 | 33,300 |
| Phosphorus (mg/L) | 0 | 48,950 |
| COD (mg/L) | 0 | 0 |
Rust-removal test: on four sections of one rusted heat-exchanger plate, HCR removed the rust completely without effort while the in-use CIP acid left rust behind under more scrubbing. Source: Carib Brewery (CBUSA) lab results.
Every result here was run on a working site with the building or operation still live. Sources are MASEST field reports and partner documentation. Filter by sector.
