Default Need your heat exchangers cleaned?

Got a barge with 235,000 gallons of sulphuric acid overturned in Texas City.
The water is too acidic for divers (leaking out), so they're going to use a
robotic arm to drill some holes in the barge and let the acid out into the
bay. They say that since the acid readily mixes with water, it's not going
to be very bad for the environment. I would guess that if you could transit
the area, all your underwater metal and the insides of your raw water
systems would be nice and shiney!

Oh yea, and the reporter on TV just said that they hope to have the
situation "neutralized". Hahahaha! I bet!
