5.2.1.8 Therminol Storage at Moly Drying Plant <br />• Chemical: Partially Hydrogenated Terphenyls. <br />Description: Heat transfer fluid. <br />Location: Basement of Moly Dryer Plant. <br />Spill Potential: Moderate. <br />Potential Volume Spilled: One or two drums of material (0-110 gallons) is the likely volume <br />spilled. At time of inspection there were 11 drums in storage (May 2004). <br />Prevention and Control: Operator caze in moving dnuns is the best spill control procedure. <br />Countermeasures: Spilled Therminol should be diked with sorbent booms or floor dry and then <br />scooped up with a shovel and replaced in a clean drum for recycling through the thickener, where <br />it will re-enter the molybdenum recovery process. In fact, sumps in the Moly Dryer Plant aze <br />routed to the thickener, because molybdenum product would be lost if the sumps were routed <br />elsewhere. <br />Nearest Clean-up Equipment: Spill kits aze located in the Moly Wazehouse. <br />• Visual Inspections and Integrity Testing: The storage area in the basement of the Moly Dry <br />Plant is checked daily during operation of the mill and open pit; weekly during idle or shut down <br />periods. <br />Reporting: Spills of Therminol should be documented on the "Spill Incident Report" form <br />immediately (Appendix 1), and given to the Environmental Department. <br />Conformance with Applicable Requirements: At the time of this writing (May 2004) the <br />Therminol storage facilities in the Moly Drying Plant aze in conformance with applicable <br />regulatory requirements. <br />34 <br />
