e (1) Describe the nature oCthe reaction or process 

The initial step in the process is the conversion of natural gas to synthesis gas (a mixture of 

carbon monoxide and hydrogen) . The synthesis gas is then subjected to high temperature over a 

catalyst where it undergoes the Fischer-Tropsch reaction to produce a mixture of low molecular 

weight alkenes and alkanes . This mixture is then subjected to a first hydrotreatment that uses 

a catalyst to reformulates the mixture of alkenes and alkanes to produce a new mixture of 

compounds made up of higher alkanes (paraffins), cycloalkenes and aromatics . A second 

hydrotreatment of the paraffin, cycloalkene and aromatics mixture further reformulates the 

hydrocarbons to yield a mixture of predominantly C10 to C13 branched paraffins with a very 

minor amount of residual aromatics and n-alkanes . The steps in the process are presented 

diagrammatically below .

OPTIONAL POLLUTION PREVENTION INFORMATION 

To claim information in the following se ction as confidential circle or bracket the specific information that you claim as confidential . 

In this section you may provide information not reported elsewhere in this form regarding your efforts to reduce or minimize potential risks 

associated with activities surrounding manufacturing, processing, use and disposal of the PMN substance. Please include new information 

pertinent to pollution prevention, including source reduction, recycling activities and safer processes or products available due to the new 

chemical substance . Source reduction includes the reduction in the amount or toxicity of chemical wastes by technological modification, 

process and procedure modification, product reformulation, raw materials substitution, and/'or inventory control . Recycling refers to the 

reclamation of useful chemical components from wastes that would otherwise be treated or released as air emissions or water discharges, or 

land disposal . Descriptions of pollution prevention, source reduction and recycling should emphasize potential risk reduction subsequent to 

compliance with existing regulatory requirements and can be either quantitative or qualitative . The EPA is interested in the information to 

assess overall net reductions in toxicity or environmental releases and exposures, not the shifting of risks to other environmental media or nonenvironmental areas (e .g ., occupational or consumer exposure). In addition . information on the relative cost or performance characteristics of 

the PNN substance to potential alternatives may be provided . 

r111 information provided in this section will be taken into consideration during the review of this substance. See Ph1N Instructions 

Manual and Pollution Prevention Guidance manual for guidance and examples . 

EPA FORht 7710-25 (Rev 5-95) Page IOa 
p. 16 

PMN Page 11 ; Page 18 of 29 

Optional Pollution Prevention Information (Continued) Describe the expected net benefits, such as ( I ) an overall reduction in risk to 

human health or the environment ; (2) a reduction in the volume manufactured ; (3) a reduction in the generation of waste materials 

through recycling, source reduction or other means; (4) a reduction in potential toxicity or human exposure and/or environmental 

release : (5) an increase in product performance, a decrease in the cost of production and/or improved operation efficiency of the new 

chemical substance in comparison to existing chemical substances used in similar application ; or (6) the extent to which the new 

chemical substance may be a substitute for an existinQ substance that poses a areater overall risk to human health or the environment . 

The new substance is a non-odorous substitute for kerosene . Its use will result in a 

significantly reduced exposure to aromatics, because this material does not contain the 

aromatics that kerosene does . Therefore, the overall risk to human health and the environment 

will be reduced .

5. Fire Fighting Measures 

Page 2 or 4 

Date Issucd 1 S March 2002 

Small fires : Dry chemical, C02, water fog or alcohol loam. 

Large fires: Water spray, fog or alcohol foam is recommended. Move container from fire area if you can do it 

without risk_ Cool containers that are exposed to flames with water from the side until well 

after the fire is out. Stay away from ends of tanks. For massive fire in cargo area, use 

unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles ; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire 

burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any 

discolouration of tank due to fire . Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and 

deny entry. Stay upwind; keep out of low areas . Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) 

and structural firefighter's protective clothing will provide limited protection . 

6. Accidental Release Measures 

Spills or Leaks: Contain (avoid spillage from entering drains or water courses) Restrict access to area. Provide 

adequate protective equipment and ventilation_ Remove sources of heat and flame . Stay upwind 

and out of low areas. Contaminated soil to be excavated and transported to a hazardous 

materials waste disposal site . Notify Environmental and Safety officials to ensure all relevant 

reporting and control methods are complied with . 

Eliminate all ignition sources . No smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area. All 

equipment used when handling the product, must be grounded . Do not touch or walk through 

spilled material. Stop leak if you can do so without risk . Prevent entry into water ways, sewers, 

basements or confined areas. A vapour suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapours . 

Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers . 

Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material . Water spray may reduce vapour-, but it 

may not prevent ignition in closed spaces 

Small Spills : Take up with sand or other inert material . Collect and deposit in sealed containers for disposal . 

Lar e Spills : Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. 

7. Handling And Storage 

Storage in the same room or space is prohibited with the following classes: 

Separation of at least 3 metres from Corrosives is recommended . 

Fire separation of at least 5 metres or 4-hour fire resistant wall from the following classes is 

recommended: 

Flammable Gases Flammable solids Poison 

Spontaneously Combustible Dangerous when wet 

The spaces should be at least 10 metres apart from the following classes: 

Explosives Poisonous Gases Radioactive 

Oxidizing Agents Organic Peroxides 

Avoid contact with strong oxidizers . Store in tightly closed, containers in a welt-ventilated area. . 

Smoking, heat, sparks and open flames are prohibited in the storage area. Avoid prolonged 

inhalation of mist or vapour. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin_ Wash thoroughly 

after handling . 

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection 

Occupati onal Exposure Limits 100 mg/M3 

Controls Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry place, away from sources of heat or ignition . Wear 

appropriate personal protective equipment when conditions warrant . Do not get in eyes . Do not 

breathe vapours_ Wash thoroughly after handling . Immediately remove and launder 

contaminated clothing before re-use. Have a safety shower/eye wash fountain readily available in 

the immediate work area . 

The control measures appropriate for a particular work site depend on how this material is used 

and extent of exposure . The best protection is to enclose operations and/or provide local exhaust 

ventilation at the site of chemical release . Use a non-sparking, grounded ventilation system 

separate from other exhaust ventilation systems. Exhaust directly to the outside . Supply

TEST RESULTS 

Conclusion : 

The sample was analyzed for organic composition . 

It is comprised of hydrocarbons covering the range from C7 to approximately C- ;with an apex at C;, The hydrocarbon types 

I observed are predominately paraffrns, iso-paraffns and a small amount of cyclo-paraffins 

Please see attached spectrum for more details . 

Compositio n Breakdown Gas Chromatography/Fingerprinting --_ 

The sarrtpl~~ was "fingerprinted" using a modified ASTtvt D-2887 on a gas chromatographl rnass spectrometer . A library search 

was performed on the collected data using the Wiley 138 and the NIST 98 Libraries Together the libraries contain 

approximately 200,000 compounds.
