Furnace Oil is a dark, viscous residual fuel oil, which is obtained by blending residual products from various refining processes with suitable diluents, usually middle distillates, to obtain the required fuel oil grades. These fuel oil grades are similar in nature and have been marketed under different specifications in various countries. In India it is sold under BIS specification under IS 1593-1982, Medium Grade 2. Furnace oil is a class C product having Flash Point above 66OC. Since this is a residual fuel, there has to be gradual filtration system to prevent the filter choking and fuel nozzles choking. Due to its viscous nature, it has to be heated to improve its flow ability and to a proper temperature for proper atomization. Normally gear pumps are preferred to avoid cavitation problems. Uses

• As fuel for Power Generation in DG Sets
• As fuel for Boilers/ Furnaces/ Air preheater/ Any other Heaters
• Fuel for Bunkering
• Fuel/ Feedstock in Fertilizer Plants

Furnance Oil Storage Petroleum RulesAs far as storage of Furnace Oil storage is concerned, the rules governing the same are less stringent when compared to more volatile fuels like Petrol, diesel etc. Purpose for which granted :

• To import and store other wise than in bulk (a) Petroleum Class A in quantities exceeding 300 litres (b) Petroleum Class B in quantities exceeding 2500 litres (c) petroleum Class C in quantities exceeding 45000 litres or (d) partly one class and partly two classes of petroleum

Safety Information :

• Reactivity Data - Chemically stable and incompatible with strong oxidizers. Does not React vigorously with common materials but can react with oxidizing agents
• Health Hazard Data - Routes of entry may be through inhalation/ ingestion/ skin/ eye

Effects of Exposure /Symptoms :

• Ingestion - may cause spontaneous vomiting, irritation of mouth throat and gastro intestinal tract
• On prolonged exposure it makes skin dry, erythema oil acne, development of warty growths which may lead to skin cancer, skin cracking and contact dermitites. As it is handled at a high temperature, skin contact could produce burns
• On exposure to eye it may cause light to moderate irritation
• Ingested - do not induce vomiting as it may lead to chemical pneumonitis. Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash affected area with water and soap. If eyes are affected, irrigate liberally with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice

Handling and Storage Precaution :

• Store in a dry cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and flame and keep away oxidizing agents
• Avoid contact with liquid or vapours. To use gumboots while handling the product
• The fire fighting media to be used is foam, DCP/CO2

Light Soda Ash is a white, odorless, uniform product, which is free from dirt and other foreign matter. Soda Ash has a tendency to absorb moisture from the atmosphere. The moist Soda Ash then starts absorbing the atmospheric carbon dioxide. This phenomenon of absorption of moisture and carbon dioxide by Soda Ash is known as weathering. After weathering, Soda Ash is likely to contain appreciable moisture and sodium bicarbonate. However, the total alkali content of the bag does not change. Light Soda Ash has a tendency to cake when in contact with moisture and consequently becomes lumpy. Packaging :

• Available in 50 Kg HDPE / PP bags and 750 kg PP jumbo bags with Lamination / Liner

Storage :

• Soda Ash Should be stored under cover in a cool, dry place and the bags should not be stacked more than 15 high

Light Diesel Oil falls under class C category fuel, having flash point above 66OC. It is a blend of distillate components and a small amount of residual components. It is marketed under BIS 1460-2000 specification for Diesel fuels. On the other hand, HSD is used as a fuel for high-speed engines having 750 RPM and above in most of the prime movers used, LDO is used in lower RPM engines. It is used in Lift irrigation pump sets, DG Sets and as a fuel in certain boilers and furnaces. Safety Information :

• Reactivity Data - Chemically stable and incompatible with strong oxidizers. Does not React vigorously with common materials but may react with oxidizing agents
• Health Hazard Data - Routes of entry may be through inhalation/ ingestion/ skin/ eye

Effects of Exposure / Symptoms :

• Inhalation causes dizziness and headache
• Ingestion may lead to nausea vomiting, irritation of mouth and gastro-intestinal effects likely. Potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis
• On Skin and eye contact, irritation will remove natural fats from skin. Prolonged or repeated contact should be avoided, Otherwise skin chapping or cracking or possible contact of dermatitis may result. Dry skin, erythema oil acne and oil folliculitis and warty growth may occur which may become skin cancer subsequently on excessive repeated exposure

Emergency Treatment :

• Inhalation - Remove victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if necessary. If unconscious but breathing, place in recovery (Unconscious) position and give external cardiac massage if necessary
• Ingestion - Do not induce vomiting. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash all affected skin thoroughly with soap and water
• Eyes Irrigate eyes with copious amounts of water. Administration of medical paraffin may reduce absorption through digestive tract
• Gastric lavage should be done only after endo tracheal intubation in view of respiration, which may cause serious chemical pnemonitis for which antibiotic and cortico-steroid therapy may be indicated

Handling and Storage Precaution :

• Store in a dry cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and flame and keep away oxidizing agents
• Avoid contact with liquid or vapors. To use gumboots while handling the product
• The fire fighting media to be used is foam, DCP/CO2

Granular Soda Ash is a white, odorless, uniform product, free from dirt and other foreign matter. Soda Ash has a tendency to absorb moisture from the atmosphere. The moist Soda Ash then starts absorbing the atmospheric carbon dioxide. This phenomenon of absorption of moisture and carbon dioxide by Soda Ash is known as weathering. After weathering, Soda Ash is likely to contain appreciable moisture and sodium bicarbonate. However, the total alkali content of the bag does not change. Soda Ash has a tendency to cake when in contact with moisture and consequently becomes lumpy. Applications :Granular Soda Ash finds use in steel industries and is used in blast furnace for removal of sulphur from iron ore. It also imparts fluidity to the slag, thus ensuring smoother and continuous blast furnace operation. It is also used in jaggery industries. Packaging :Available in 50 kg HDPEIPP bags with lamination Storage :Soda Ash should be stored under cover in a cool, dry place and the bags should not be stacked more than 15 high.
