No … Bio-8 is not exactly the same as orange Nehi.

Powder is for odor only.

Liquid is for cleaning power

In the case of products with which I’m familiar, there are powdered products used as presprays that have a measure of d-limonene in their formulation to assist alkaline component and surfactants to break down oily soils. Liquid products used as presprays could contain d-limonene, as well as glycol ethers, surfactants and alkaline builders.

Then there are spotters/boosters that may contain a measure of d-limonene, as well as other solvents and mineral spirits.

If you’ve ever wondered why some “citrus solvents” sell for half the price of others?

It is pretty much how much d-limonene is in the formula.

Some have no d-limonene at all, but are merely less expensive solvents with an orange deodorizer added.
