IV. SPECIAL HANDLING AND WORKER PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE AND FIELD APPLICATION
1. Flammability: Non-flammable.
2. Ventilation: Wearing masks with filter for fine dust under MESH 200 is recommended.
3. Skin and eye contact; protective clothing; treatment in case of contact: Wear goggles for eye protection, impervious gloves, and normal work clothing. Contact may cause mild irritation. Wash face, hands, and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling. For eye contact, wash eyes thoroughly with clean water until irritation disappears. For skin contact and in case of redness or rash, wash the affected area with clean water until irritation disappears. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
4.a. Maximum storage temperature: 140ºF.
4.b. Minimum storage temperature: -10ºF.
4.c. Optimum storage temperature range: -4ºF to 104ºF.
4.d. Temperatures of phase separation and chemical changes: Stable in powder form under all conditions. GHG ORGANIC in its natural states does not agglomerate or bind due to moisture. It does not require any type of additive to preserve its properties.
V. SHELF LIFE
Five years in open container; and four years in pressurized containers. Pressurized containers include portable extinguisher with N2 gas at 25 pounds working pressure 100 psi with metal anticorrosive valve made of 1/16-inch-thick carbon steel. Store in closed and dry places (e.g., containers, closed metal/wooden warehouses). Keep in manufacturers closed containers and store in height according to the resistance that bagged containers or pallets indicate, not to have a column with more than 2,000 pounds. Do not store volumes greater than 20,000 pounds in bulk in closed warehouses less than 1,000 yards from the vicinity of swamps of stagnant waters.
VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
  1. Application Method: GHG ORGANIC is a homogenous powder that is applied directly to oil contaminated solid surfaces (e.g., soil, sand, shorelines, and vegetation). Apply directly from container, product should not be diluted in water or mixed with other substances or solvents. Distribute GHG ORGANIC directly and uniformly on the spilled oil from containers (such as buckets and maxi bags) on the solid surface. For remote areas, apply using pressurized extinguishers with N2 gas (manual extinguishers from 2 pounds to 100 pounds) on solid surfaces. Means of application:
    1. From all terrain trucks, distribute GHG ORGANIC using 50-yard x 1 inch rubber hose of medium pressure (8 bar) coupled with:
      1. ≤5,000-pound tank mounted on pressurized pickup with N2 gas at 200 psi.
      2. Compressed air 250 CFM and 8 bar working pressure mounted on a truck to pull product directly from open containers using a VENTURI so that GHG ORGANIC is projected onto the spilled oil on the solid surface.
    2. For difficult to access environments such as edges of islets and cliffs, recommend distributing GHG ORGANIC:
      1. From boats using 50-yard x 1-inch-long rubber hoses of medium pressure (8 bar) coupled to a compressed air compressor. 250 CFM and 8 bar working pressure is used to pull product directly from open containers using a VENTURI.
      2. From planes and helicopters, GHG ORGANIC is available in plastic tanks that discharge the compound by gravity from gravitational sprinklers mounted on the discharge pipes outside the equipment. The application rate of the compound will be defined based on the surface affected by the spill.
  2. Concentration/Application Rate: Applied at a ratio of 2 pounds product per square yard of oil; or 8,800 pounds of product per acre of oil.
  3. Conditions for Use: Time of bioremediation is dependent upon oil density and ambient temperature. For light oils, bioremediation is 30 days. For heavy fuel oils, bioremediation is 90 days. A second application may be necessary in areas of accumulation. In case of oil seepage to the subsoil due to old spills in permeable soils and to accelerate the bioremediation process, the manufacturer recommends removing the contaminated soil and mixing GHG ORGANIC using vibratory screens and industrial blending machines.
