Storage, loading and unloading, and transportation

Biobased, as one kind of paraffin based crude oil, can be stored in carbon steel tanks. Hoses lined with polyethylene, butyl rubber, or chloroprene rubber are suitable for discharge. Suggest using a nitrogen layer to reduce the possibility of product degradation. Antioxidants can be added as required to enhance long-term stability. The recommended storage temperature is 40 ° C, with a maximum recommended temperature of 65 ° C and a minimum recommended temperature of -15 ° C to prevent freezing. BIO-BASE  ™  300 is classified as a “flammable liquid” by the US Department of Transportation (US DOT).

Security

Biobased products have been proven to have relatively low toxicity through exposure routes encountered during normal handling (oral, dermal, inhalation). Like many hydrocarbon liquids, prolonged exposure to olefins can cause dryness and defatting of the skin, leading to skin irritation and dermatitis. In addition, like other hydrocarbons, this product may be dangerous when inhaled or ingested.

Warning:

For paraffin based liquids

Marine emissions

Do not use this product for drilling operations involving the discharge of drilling cuttings containing this product into the ocean. Do not discharge this product or drill cuttings containing this DSBB300- Printed on March 22, 2005 2

Place the product in an environment that may or may become anaerobic (hypoxic). Under certain conditions, anaerobic conditions may exist in the seabed and debris piles. The testing jointly developed by the exploration and production industry and the US Environmental Protection Agency shows that the product cannot be anaerobically biodegraded.

Land drilling and zero emission operations

This product can only be used for land drilling operations and zero emission operations, where drill cuttings are managed through recognized drill cuttings management practices such as injection, heat treatment, land cultivation, or composting. Similar to diesel drill cuttings, if drill cuttings containing this product are discharged or placed in the environment, the best drill cuttings management practices should be adopted.
