Fuel Oil - Bio LDO

Class C category fuel having flash point above 66OC. A blend of distillate components and a small amount of residual components

Fuel Oil is a residual fuel (motor spirit / gasoline, high speed diesel and kerosene are distillate fuels). It is a dark, viscous liquid at room temperature. It is a complex mix of hydrocarbons with carbon atoms ranging mainly from 20 to 55. It is produced by blending residues from various refinery processing units and diluting with middle distillates.

Fuel Oil is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation, either as a distillate or a residue. Broadly speaking fuel oil is any liquid petroleum product that is burned in a furnace or boiler for the generation of heat or used in an engine for the generation of power, except oils having a flash point of approximately 40 °C (104 °F) and oils burned in cotton or wool-wick burners. In this sense, diesel is a type of fuel oil. Fuel oil is made of long hydrocarbon chains, particularly alkaline, cyclo-alkaline and aromatics. The term fuel oil is also used in a stricter sense to refer only to the heaviest commercial fuel that can be obtained from crude oil i.e. heavier than gasoline and naphtha.

Material Safety Data Sheet

      1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE SUBSTANCE / PREPARATION AND COMPANY UNDERTAKING Product Name : Mineral turpentine. General Use :heating up homes and fuel trucks to lighting up furnaces, producing steam for industrial uses and for generating electric energy.2
      2. COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Synonyms : Heating Oil; High Sulfur Diesel; Heating Oil Plus
        See Section 16 for abbreviations and acronyms.
      3. 3.HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Primary Entry Routes : OSHA/NFPA COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID – SLIGHT TO MODERATE IRRITANT-EFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM – HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED
      4. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eyes: Flush with water for 15 min. Get medical attention. Skin: Wash with warm water & soap.Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Consult a physician if irritation persists. Ingestion: Get medical help at once
      5. 5.FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point :Vapors may ignite rapidly when exposed to heat, spark, open flame or other source of ignition. When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source, flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces. Vapors may travel long distances to an ignition source and flashback.Vapors are heavier than air and may accumulate in low areas. Runoff to sewer may lead to fire or explosion
      6. 6.ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Small Spills : Take up with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible, inert oil absorbing materials. Carefully shovel, scoop or sweep up into a waste container with clean, non-sparking tools for reclamation or disposal. Response and clean-up crews must be properly trained and must utilize proper protective equipment Local, state, and / or Federal notification may be required if this material is released to the environment
      7. 7.HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Precautions: Handle as a combustible liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.Electrical equipment should be approved for classified area. Bond and ground containers during product transfer to reduce potential for static Initiated fire or explosion.
      8. 8.EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering Controls: Wear protective gloves when handling. Emergency eye wash capability should be available in the near proximity to operations presenting a potential splash exposure. Use good personal hygiene practices. Avoid repeated and/or prolonged skin Exposure. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Do not use as a cleaning solvent on the skin.
