Tentative Amendment No. "A"
Tentative Amendment No. "A" to the Standard Manufacturing Process for Aroclor (Dept. 246, WGK) dated 7/20/64.
Objective:
Alter present plant distillation system and operations for a plant test. Plant test will indicate equipment needs and ability to produce improved quality (stable) Aroclor,
Present Practice:
Two Aroclor Distillation Systems are run in parallel. The two systems are continuous ly fed crude Aroclor from the #2 Blow Tank. The distillation is a straight take-over operation. When a run of one type (1242, 1248, etc.) is completed (80, 000-500, 000#) a final boil down is conducted in No. 2 still and the bottoms are dropped.
The boil down material is combined with the previously distilled material and pro cessed to finished product. The bottoms are drawn off and sold as Montar or discardet Following the boil down and bottom's drop the stills are ready for the next product run.
Proposed Procedure:
Run the two stills in series. Continuously feed the No. 1 still with crude Aroclor and use this system to pre-heat the entire feed and to distill off a low-boiler fraction (up to 10% of feed). Continously feed the No. 2 still from No. 1 still pot. Collect the intermediate fraction in No. 2 receiver and process as in normal operation.
At the end of the run (4-5 days) boil down and drop bottoms. Do not combine the boil down (high-boilers) with the intermediate fraction. The low boilers from No. 1 receive: and the high boilers from the boil-down will be isolated in a storage tank, if possible.

If they pass non-electrical Aroclor specifications, they can be used as such. If the total amount has to be discarded because no storage is available, or because they are out of specification, the cost would be $3, 000 based on total product costs.
Specific operating conditions for the stills will have to be determine d in the field by cut and try methods.
Justification:
Foreign competition appears to be capable of producing Aroclor which is more stable than that presently made by Monsanto. An improvement of product stability is necessary to protect our market position.
Laboratory data* indicates that the distillation operation has a significant effect on product stability. These data indicate that product stability can be improved by:
1. Removing an unstable low-boil fraction
2. Preventing entrainment
3. Preventing contamination by high-boilers or bbil down
This test will evaluate our ability to control the plant distillation in the three areas mentioned above, with existing equipment. Failure of the test will indicate that more drastic revisions to the existing equipment will be needed to approximate laboratory conditions.
Comments:
The production rate will be limi ted by maximum vapor and heat loads that can be sustained in the entrainment and condenser systems on N. 2 still. In the past 55, 000#/day have been attained in these systems. The upper limit is not presently known.
Duration:
The test duration will be 4-5 days. If desired operation conditions cannot be obtained during this interval the test will be cancelled or revised.

Tentative Amendment No. "B"
TITLE:
Tentative Amendment No. "B11 to the Standard Manufacturing Process for Aroclor (Dept. 246, WGK) dated 7/20/64,
OBJECTIVE;
Run two plant tests using revaporized Cl2 and dilute (25 mole %) Cl2, as feed stock for Aroclor 1242 production.
PRESENT PRACTICE:
The Dept. 246 Chlorinators are batch charged with biphenyl (Bit#). The Bi0 is then chlorinated by continuously feeding "Snift" gas to the chlorinator mass until the desired specific gravity is reached. The "Snift " Gas is a mixture of Cl2 (from DeNora & Hooker Cells) H2, N2, 02, C02 and trace amounts of organic impurities. The Cl2 concentration is in the range of 75 * 95 mole % and varies with operations in the Cl2 depart ments .
PROPOSED PRACTICE (Two Plant Tests, 1242 Aroclor)
1. A plant chlorination test will be run using revaporized Cl2 from Dept. 232 as the Cl2 feed stock, Due to limited capacity of the revaporizing facilities in Dept. 232, we will probably be able to run only two chlorinators at a time, making a total of 5 - 6 chlorinator batches and processing through the remainder of the system as normal. Necessary samples and measurements will be taken to determine effect of concentrated and impurity free Cl2 on Aro clor stability. This material will be treated as normal production as it passes the routine plant controls.
2. A plant chlorination test will be run using revaporized Cl2 diluted to 25 mole % with dry air as Cl2 feed stock. This test will be limited to 2 chlorinators due to dry air capacity, making a total of 5-6 chlorinator batches and processing through the remainder of the system as normal. Necessary samples and measurements will, be taken to determine effect of dilute and impurity free Cl2 on Aro clor stability. This material will be segregated from normal electri cal grade 1242 Aroclor. It will be used for non-electrical 1242 if it passes specification.

Tentative Amendment No. "B".
JUSTIFICATION:
Foreign competition appears to be capable of producing Aroclor which is more stable than that presently made by Monsanto. An improvement of product stability is necessary to protect our present U,,S. market position and for possible expansion of foreign sales. These tests will provide information as to the effect of contaminants in chlorine, and the possibility of local overchlorination due to concentration effects.
COMMENTS:
For the revaporized Cl* test the production rate will be limited to about 32, 0000/day for a duration of 1 - 1 1/2 days. For the dilute Cl2 test the rate will be limited to about 11, OOOif/day for a duration of 3 days.
SAFETY:
No increase in safety hazards is for seen in these two test runs.

Tentative Amendment No. C
TITLE:
Tentative Amendment No. C to the Standard Manufacturing Process (Dept. 246, WGK) dated 7/20/64.
OBJECTIVE:
Run plant test using chiorinator without catalyst basket.
PRESENT PRACTICE:
The Dept. 246 batch chlorinators (31 diam. x 16' high) are batch charged with biphenyl, which is chlorinated with snift gas. At the present, each chiorinator has a catalyst bed. The catalyst bed is 2'3" in diam. and 8' high and consists of 1 1/2" pipe nipples, 2" long.
PROPOSED PROCESS (1242 and 1260 Aroclor)
Remove the catalyst bed from one chiorinator and run three to five 1242 and three to five 1260 batches in that chiorinator following standard operat ing procedures, except without the catalyst bed. The test material will be kept separate from other production and will be used only if it is equivalent to normal production aroclor, according to routine analyses,
During the test batches the chiorinator off-gas will be sampled and analyzed for chlorine,, to check chlorine utilisation of the chlorinators without the bed.
The purpose of the catalyst bed is to provide iron, which is chlorinated to ferric chloride, the reaction catalyst. It is standard operating procedure to charge 0.05% by weight ferric chloride to each batch, Ferric chloride will, of course, be added to the test batches,
JUSTIFICATION:
During operation the catalyst becomes plugged with tars and ferric chloride and it is probable that only a small portion of the iron of the bed is available for utilization, Also, the plugged bed hinders chiorinator circulation and probably leads to hot spots in the chiorinator. There is a problem of cross contamination from batch to batch with the bed, which results in an excessive amount of overchlorinated products.

Tentative Amendment C
2
JUSTIFICATION: (Cont'd.)
During 1956 there were severe problems with aroclor stability. One of the problems was a lack of a consistent analytical method for checking stability Previous to that time the catalyst bed was relied upon to supply ferric chloride and ferric chloride, per se, was not added. One of the results of the stability problem was the addition of ferric chloride to each chlorinator batch, to assure that sufficient catalyst was available . Since that time analytical methods have improved and any unstable aroclor produced would be detected immediately.
The removal of the catalyst bed, then, improves chlorinator operation by increased circulation, elimination of hot spots, and prevention of contamina tion. The addition of ferric chloride provides sufficient catalyst. Any unstable aroclor produced would be detected immediately by the present routine analyses,
SUPPORTING DATA :
It is reported in St. Louis Research Report Nos. 1640 and 2072 that a minimum level of 0. 03% FeClj is necessary to produce stable aroclor. No mention is made of the need for iron, and none was used in the lab chlorinators.
SAFETY:
No increase in safety hazards is anticipated.
QUALITY:
Work is in progress to improve aroclor quality (stability). It is anticipated that the removal of the basket will not harm quality but, if anything, will improve it due to improved circulation, elimination of hot spots in the chlorinator6, and elimination of cross-contamination from batch to batch,
DURATION OF TEST
Three to five 1242 and three to five 1260 batches will be made without the catalyst bed. If this material is equivalent to normal production material, according to routine analyses, the chlorinator without the catalyst bed will be used for normal operations, and this amendment incorporated&s a process revision. If the test material is not equivalent to normal production the bed will be replaced.

COMMENTS:
This plant test would normally involve some lose of production. The pre sent aroclor stock position is such that it is anticipated that it will be nec essary to run only three of the five chlorinators during September, Also, some repairs to be made during September will require removal of the catalyst bed from the No. 3 chlorinator. September, then, is an ideal time to run this test.

Tentative Amendment No. "D" to the Standard Manufacturing Process for Aroclor (Dept. 246, WGK) dated 7/20/64,
Objective:
Evaluate potassium carbonate as a replacement for lime in the Aroclor distillation system.
Present Practice:
Aroclor is distilled in two parallel systems, continuously fed from the No. 2 blow tank. At the start of a run (1242, 1248, etc.) 200 lbs. of lime (calcium hydroxide) is added to each still pot. At the end of a run (250,000-500,000 lbs.) bottoms are dropped and the cycle is repeated.
Proposed Procedure:
Segregate the two distillation systems at the start of a 1242 run. To one system, add the normal amount of lime to the still pot and proceed normally throughout the run. To the second system, substi tute 200 pounds of anhydrous potassium carbonate for the lime. Dis
till away from the potassium carbonate for a minimum of two days.
The product distilled from the potassium carbonate will be analyzed by routine tests before it is combined with normal production . material. If' the proddct deviates fyf>m norp&l in any adverse>Way, "it will bQ/Tso^sted and will/not be/sold ap electrical grade(

Tentative Amendment "D"
2
October 20, 1965
Justification:
The presence of a base during distillation serves two known purposes: It neutralizes free acid, and it reacts with the FeCl3 present. It is also thought that the base can react with some unstable Aroclors, converting them to a more stable form. Recent WGK PR&D laboratory data indicates that distillation from K2CO3 increases the stability of the high boiling fractions of Aroclor 1242 (low boil and mid fractions are essentially unaffected). If this proves to be the case, it would indicate that using K2CO3 and making a simple low boil cut may be a practical way of making a stable Aroclor.
Safety:
No increase in safety hazard is anticipated. No unusual effect was seen in laboratory distillations uBing K2C03.
Comments:
No production Iobs will be involved since WGK Dept. 246 is presently running at only 75# of demonstrated capacity.

TITLE
Tentative Amendment No. "E" to the Standard Manufacturing Process for Aroclor (Dept. 246, WGK) dated 7/20/64.
OBJECTIVE
Produce more stable Aroclor 1242 by chlorinating without a catalyst basket in the chlorinator and processing as normal.
Produce more stable Aroclor 1242 by chlorinating without a catalyst basket in the chlorinator and processing it through the still system with potassium hydroxide adpled in place of the normally used lime (calcium hydroxide).
Provide sufficient product, produced as above, for testing by customers.
PRESENT PRACTICE
Biphenyl (Bi0) is chlorinated in the chlorinatore which contain catalyst baskets. Previously the basket furnished FeClj catalyst for the reaction. Presently (since 1957) sufficient amount of catalyst, needed to produce stable Aroclor, is added to each chlorinator when batch charged.
At the beginning of a product (1242, 1240, etc.) run 200 pounds of lime is added to each still. The purpose of the lime is to tie up FeClj and neutralise HC1 in the crude.
PROPOSED PROCEDURE
Produce 8-9 batches of 1142 in No. 5 chlorinator with the catalyst basket removed. This has been done previously as per Tentative Amend ment No, "C", Process half of this crude material through the remainder of the system a s normal, and drum it off from the finished product tank. Process the other half through No. 1 still system, but substitute potassium hydroxide (0. 06% of crude charge) for the lime in the still. Drum this . ( material off from the finished product tank, thus producing approximately 1, 000 gallons of each type of test material to be used as samples for evaluation by electrical grade customers. Any excess test material will

. PROPOSED PROCEDURE (Cont'd.)
be sold as non-electrical grade 1242 providing it passes all specifications.
JUSTIFICATION
From previous plant testB, the Aroclor produced in a chlorinator without the catalyst basket was equivalent or better than normal material. By removing the baskets, hold-up and cross-contamination are reduced.
Results of PR ti D Laboratory studies indicate more stable Aroclor (i.e. 0.15 ppm Cl by thermal chemical chlorides) can be made by addition of KOH to the still pot and stripping off the first 1.2% of the low boilers. Plant equipment will not permit this type of fractionation, but an improve ment over normal production is expected.
SAFETY
No increase in safety hazzards is anticipated. No unusual effects were seen in the laboratory distillation using KOH. Normal precautions in handling KOH will be followed.

AROCLOR
SECTION I
SYNOPSIS OF PROCESS
Aroclor Is a trade name used to designate chlorination products of biphenyl, biphenyl high boilers, or mixtures of the two. Liquid Aroclors are produced by chlorinating biphenyl to 21, 52, 42, 48, 54, 60, and 62# chlorine content. Chlorination above 65$ yields a solid product at normal temperatures. Liquid Aroclors are identlfie< by four digit numbers: The last two digit numbers represent the chlorine content (percentage by weight), and the first two numbers represent the Aroclor condition (crude or distilled). Crude Aroclor! start with the prefix 11 whereas distilled Aroclors start with the prefix 12. For example, Aroclor 1242 is a distilled chlorinated biphenyl containing 42$ chlorine.
The first process step in the manufacture of Aroclors is a chlorina tion reaction. Biphenyl ( 0-0) and chlorine (Clg) gas in the presence of a Ferric Chloride (Feds) catalyst are reacted to form a chlorinated aromatic compound. Hydrogen chloride (HC1) gas is liberated during this reaction and piped to the muriatic acid department. The exact chemistry of biphenyl chlorination is unknown. Many isomers are formed. A schematic representation of biphenyl chlorination is as follows:

SECTION I
SYNOPSIS OF PROCESS
The second process step is the aeration and distillation of the crude Aroclor. Dry air is blown through the crude Aroclor for a period of two hours or more. Aeration removes mo6t of the free hydrogen chloride. Distillation of crude Aroclors is done under vacuum auto matically controlled with the controller pre-set between 30 - 50 mm Hg. abs. to obtain the best performance. Distillation of crude Aroclor separates residue* lime, ferric chloride, and tars from the finished product.
The third process step includes blending, filtration, and storage of Aroclors. Approximately 0. 1 - 0.2% by weight of Attapulgus earth is added to the distilled Aroclor. The mixture is agitated and filtered to the finished product tank. The purpose of the Attapulgus earth is to absorb moisture and chloride ion to improve the electrical propertie s of the Aroclor. During the filtration of distilled Aroclor, 2-16 oz. samples of the finished product are taken to the laboratory for control analyses. If the control analyses pass specifications, the batch is transferred to a storage tank.
This process description will describe the production of Aroclors 1242, 1248, 1254, 1260, 1254 *ylene mix, and 1262.

PROCESS IN DETAIL
A. Nomenclature and Batch Data
Aroclor is a trade name used to designate chlorination products of biphenyl, biphenyl high boilers, or a mixture of the two. The physical properties vary from light free flowing liquids to crystalline and non crystalline solids, depending upon the degree of chlorination and the composition of the raw materials. Chlorinated biphenyl yields a liquid product of increasing viscosity up to and including 63% chlorine. Chlo rination above 63% yields a solid product at normal temperatures.
A numerical system of nomenclature, consisting of four digits, has been developed for identifying the various Aroclors. The first digit denotes the aromatic raw material used in the chlorination step. The figure 1----- indicates 100% technical grade biphenyl. The second digit denotes whether or not the product is distilled. The figure -1 - - indicates undistilled product, and the figure - 2- - indicates a distilled product. The last two digits of the nomenclature system denote the approximate percent age by weight of chlorine contained in the finished product. For example, Aroclor 1242 is a distilled chlorinated biphenyl containing 42% chlorine.
Manufacture of all liquid Aroclors is essentially the same. Batch data are listed below:

PROCESS IN DETAIL
B. Chlorination Reaction Step
Chlorination of biphenyl is the only process step where a chemical reaction takes place , All other Aroclor process operations are mechanical. The starting raw materials for Aroclor production are biphenyl and chlorine gas.
Biphenyl is received in 8, 000 and 10, 000 gallon tank cars from Anniston, Alabama. The biphenyl in the tank cars iB a solid mass because the crystallizing point of biphenyl is .68. 7 *C. Steam must be applied to the tank car coils to melt the biphenyl. It is necessary to melt a vent hole through the solid mass of biphenyl by insertion oC a hairpin steam coil through the tank car dome before applying steam to the tank car coils. The vent hole avoids a pressure build-up in the bottom of the tank car and possible damage to the car. When the biphenyl is completely melted, it is sampled for crystallizing point and moisture content and unloaded through the tank car standpipe by air pressure to the 25,000 gallon storage tank. Dry air is used to unload the biphenyl cars to keep the biphenyl free from moisture. The flash point of biphenyl is 112 *C.
Chlorine gas is received in a 4 inch pipeline from the chlorine depart ment. In order to facilitate operation of the chlorine liquefaction system, "sniff gas with a purity of 75-95% (the remainder being air) is transferred from the chlorine department. The normal pressure of the chlorine gas in Department 246 is 20-25 psig.
Biphenyl (4000#) is charged into each chlorinator from the measuring tank. The biphenyl charge in the measuring tank can be regulated by valves at different overflow levels. The fotir overflow levels on the measuring tank permit biphenyl charges of 1800, 2800, 3600, and 4000 pounds.
The measuring tank is equipped with an agitator and circulating pump. Two pounds of ferric chloride (0,05% of charge) are charged into the measuring tank for each batch. The charge from the measuring tank ' is pumped through the circulating line to the chlorinators.
Chlorination is carried out in five chlorinat'ors . Each chlorinator is three feet in diameter by sixteen feet high, and constructed of steel. Each chlorinator has a catalyst bed which is 2* 3" in diameter by 8 feet high. The catalyst bed consists of 1 1/2 inch diameter by 2 inches long pieces of pipe which are similar in nature to raachig rings.
The biphenyl charge is heated to 120*C, or higher before chlorination is started. After charging the chlorinator, circulation of the charge is started before the chlorine feed is begun to maintain an even distribution of the ferric chloride catalyst.

B. Chlorine gas from the chlorine department passes through a Brink mist eliminator and evaporator before entering the chlorinator. The
. mist eliminator removes most of the impurities, and the vaporator insures that all of the chlorine is gaseous.
The purified chlorine gas is admitted to the bottom of the chlorinator through a distributor plate Qsparger) and passes through the catalyst bed. A chlorinator temperature less than 170*C. should be maintained during the chlorination reaction to avoid sublimation and subsequent condensation of biphenyl in the off-gas system. Each chlorinator is equipped with a Brink mist eliminator. The purpose of the off-gas mist eliminators is to trap entrained particles of Aroclor and biphenyl.
The chlorination temperature in the chlorinators is controlled by auto matic chlorine gas flow regulation to hold the temperature within + 5"C, The chlorination temperature must be at least 120*C, at the beginning of the batch and no more than 170*C. to finish off a batch. The normal batch temperature is 150*C, The louvers of the aii-cooled heat exchanger located in the external circulating line of the chlorinator are positioned ( such that the batch temperature will remain between 120*C. and 170C.
The exact batch temperature will depend on the chlorine flow rate which will fluctuate to maintain a batch temperature of 150*C, The louver adjustment is manually controlled by a hand valve located in the control room. The temperature of the batch is recorded at four different points: (1) in the center of the chlorinator, (2) just above the chlorine sparger in the chlorinator, (3) at the discharge of the chlorinator pump, and ^ (4) at the discharge of the air-cooled heat exchanger. Point 1 is alarmed for high temperatures, and point 4 is alarmed for low temperatures. As a safety device, a high temperature sensing element is positioned at point 2 to shut off the chlorine gas flow if the reaction temperature exceeds
190*C.
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL
The batches are continuously circulated at an average flow rate of 200-220 GPM from the bottom of the chlorinator, up through the air-cooled heat exchanger, and back into the top of the chlorinator over the catalyst bed. Chlorine feed up to a maximum of 1500 pounds per hour is fed into each chlorinator through a flow recorder-integrator which is alarmed. The zero return Integrator measures the total amount of chlorine gas flow per batch at any given time and will shut off the gas flow when the desired pre-set pounds of chlorine has entered the reactor. The average chlorine feed rate is 1000 pounds per hour.
Progress of the chlorination reaction is checked periodically as needed after a pre-set amount of chlorine gas as measured by the recorder-integrator passes into the chlorinator.
The degree of chlorination is measured by determining the specific gravity of a sample taken from the circulating line. More frequent gravity checks are made when approaching the end of chlorination.

C. Aeration and Distillation
When chlorination 1b complete, the crude Aroclor 1b pumped into number two blow tank (Capacity 2000 gallons). The crude Aroclor is aerated in the #2 blow tank for two hours or more with dry air. Aeration of crude Aroclor removes most of the free hydrogen chloride.
Crude aerated Aroclor is tonesferred from the #2 blow tank to the jfi blow tank. The #1 blow tank is used as a crude Aroclor feed tank to the stills. Crude aerated Aroclor Is transferred from the #1 blow tank to vacuum stills through an automatic control valve which maintains a constant level in the stills. Under normal conditions the automatic feed to the stills is shut off after distilling about 75,000 pounds of Aroclor. (This is equivalent to filling 7 still receivers). The still is then boiled down until a temperature 0 difference between the still coil inlet and outlet approaches 40 C. At this point distillation is discontinued and all but a small heel of the residue is drawn off to drums and discarded or sold as Montar. The still 1b Immediately recharged with crude Aroclor and 200 pounds of lime is added directly to the still pot. Hydrated lime is received in 50 pound bags. The lime neutralizes any residual HC1 in the still liquor and prevents sublimation of ferric chloride during the distillation period. Distillation of Aroclors is done under vacuum automatically controlled. The best performance is obtained at a steady vacuum which can be pre-set by a controller between 50-50 mm Hg. Abs.
Natural gas is used to heat the coil of the Aroclor still furnaces. The pressure of the gas burner (eclipse, st. 108.5, 2", #568, 600,00( BTU/lir.) is adjusted as needed for production requirements. The normal gas pressure is 2-3 psig. .
D. Blending, Filtration, and Storage
When the still receiver is filled, the distilled Aroclor is pumped tc the blend tank (2000 gallon capacity). After two fillings of the receiver tank have been pumped to the blend tank, approximately 4o pounds of attapulgus earth is added to the distilled 12^2 Aroclor. All other Aroclors are earth-treated with 20 pounds of Attapulgus earth. Regular Attapulgus earth is received in 50 pound bags. The mixture is agitated and filtered to the finished product tank (2000 gallon capacity) through a 36 inch stainless steel Sparkler Filter. The Attapulgus earth is roasted at 250C. for a minimum of four houn in a Orieve-Hendry drying oven before addition to the blend tank. The purpose of earth heat treatment is to remove any moisture in the earth and activate it. The Attapulgus earth absorbs water and . ionic impurities. This improves the electrical-quality properties o the Aroclor.

D. Blending, Filtration, and Storage (Cont'd, )
The filter press is cleaned after about 5-7 batches or as needed. During the filtration, 2-16 os. samples are taken to the laboratory for control analyses, If the control analyses pass specifications, the batch is trans ferred from the product tank to a storage tank. After several batches have accumulated in the storage tank, the contents of the tank are mixed, and composite samples are taken for lot analyses.
Three underground (15,000 gallon) tanks and five above - surface (each 20,000 gallons) are available for storage of the finished products.
The blend tanks, finished product tanks, and Aroclor 1242 and 1254 storage tanks are blanketed with nitrogen. The pressure of the nitrogen gas is 10 psig. Nitrogen blanketing maintains the electrical properties of the Aroclors.
'The Aroclors from the storage tanks are drummed, 'pumped to tank cars, pumped to tank trucks, or transferred to Department A1-246 or B-246 mixing tanks for the production of PyranolB, Interteens, or Pydraul A-200.
Batches of Aroclor 1254-mix are mixed in the #1 blend tank. This opera tion consists of a mijt of 10% xylene, and 90% Aroclor 1254, Xylene is received in 55 gallon drums, The flash point of xylene is 85 *F. Mixing, sampling and drumming of 1254-mix is accomplished directly from the blend tanks. After the blending operation, the blend tank must be cleaned. The bottom outlet of the tank is opened and the tank is cleaned out with live steam and then blown with air,
E. By-product Hydrogen Chloride
The by-product hydrogen from the chlorinators is collected in a common pipeline header and flows to the central HC1 absorption unit to manufacture Muriatic Acid in Department F-218. If Department F-218 is unable to handle the off-gas, it may be sewered at Department 248 by passing through a Haveg S-K drowning jet. The removal of HC1 from the off-gas concentrates the original quantity of hydrogen and air to a point well with in the explosive limit. Therefore, it is essential to either dilute thi-p gas going up the vent stack or increase its velocity past the flame propogation rate (15 ft./sec.). This is accomplished by introducing a sufficient quantity of steam into the vent stack.

B. Capacity
The monthly production capacity of Department 246 is 1,700,000 pounds (2, 400, 000 pounds is expected by August 1, 1964) of Aroclors on a 7 day per week basis. The capacity of the chlorinators is a function of the following variables.
1. Batch Cooling Rate - Chlorination of biphenyl is an exothermic reaction which produces 510 BTUS per pound of chlorine gas under going a reaction with biphenyl. Biphenyl can be chlorinated as fast as the exothermic heat can be removed from the batch and maintain a batch temperature of 150C.
2. Chlorine Flow Rate - the reaction time decreases as the Chlorine How rate increases. The chlorine flow Tate is approximately 1000 pounds per hour per chlorinator. A maximum chlorine flow rate of 1500 pounds per hour per chlorinator can be attained if desired. The concentration of chlorine in the "snift11 gas is another factor control ling the rate of chlorination.
3. Catalyst - The chlorination rate increases when ferric chloride catalyst i6 added to the charge. The best results are obtained when the biphenyl charge contains .05% ferric chloride catalyst.
C. Quality
Some of the factors which affect Aroclor quality are as follows:
1. Temperature - According to research experimental results, the chlorinator temperature must be greater than 120C. at the beginning of the chlorination reaction to produce stable Aroclors.
2. Catalyst - Good contact is necessary to produce stable Aroclors, It is suspected that agitation and circulation of the reactants improve the effectiveness of the catalyst, The catalyst is also responsible for the chlorine positioning on the biphenyl molecule. Ferric chloride catalyst may be responsible for producing the desired end product. Results of research work concerning catalyst and isomeric distribution are given in Appendix N.

C. Quality (Cont'd.)
3, Raw Material Purity - The purity of raw materials can affect the quality of Aroclors both directly and indirectly. In a direct manner, impurities which are ionic lessen the resistivity of Aroclors, Dis tillation of crude Aroclor separates most of the ionic impurities; however, minute impurities can be carried over to the receiver tanks. Attapulgus earth can remove the remaining impurities in most instances. If any ionic impurities remain after the earth treatment, the resistivity of the Aroclors will be low because such impurities will conduct electricity even in minute concentrations.
In an indirect sense, impurities such as sulfates in the chlorine gas, will poison the ferric chloride catalyst and thus unstable Aroclors will be produced. The chemistry and mechanism of the catalyst poisoning are not known for certain.
AERATION AND DISTILLATION
Steam is not applied to the coils of the blow tanks when aerating Aroclors 1142 and 1148. This prevents the loss of Aroclor vapors. Eighty.psig steam is applied to the coils when aerating other Aroclors. High moisture may be removed effectively by blowing the crude Aroclor with dry air.
Vacuum trouble on the Btills is usually caused by flashing of product, air leaks, plugged vacuum lines, or improper functioning of the vacuum jets.
Flashing can usually be stopped by operating the still at a slower rate or increasing the flow of cooling water to the vapor condenser.
Vacuum trouble can be traced systematically from the jets and usually ieolated.
High color and entrainment will result from overheating (around 25 C. . above normal distillation temperature) Aroclor, faulty operation of the distillation step, or boiling down the still too far. (Tare will carry over). The "tail - end" still fraction (tars) is a possible source of unstable
Aroclors.

UTILITIES Toe utility calculations are based on design calculations for a 28.8 million pounds per year production rate. The breakdown of utility usage by individual equipment is only on estimate. The estimates of utility usage are average values in most instances as it is difficult to measure the operating time and load for a particular piece of equipment with great accuracy. The total usage of each utility was taken from the cost sheets. Estimates of Individual operating time and percentage of the total load were made to calculate the distribution of utilities as given in the following pages of this section.

PACKAGING & SHIPPING
Aroclor, Pyranol & Pydraul are filled about half in drums and half in tank cars or tank trucks.
A substantial amount (about and Pydraul.
of Aroclor is used to make Pyranol
Sales are largely directly to the customer. The remainder is in bulk shipments to the J. F. Queeny Plant.
All electrical grade tank truck shipments are made in the customers truckB which are stainless steel. Non-electrical Aroclors are shipped in leased trucks and may be iron although other materials of construction are suitable Pydraul is shipped in steel tank trucks.
Electrical grade Aroclor and Pyranols are shipped in lined tank cars either H,000 or 8,000 gallons in capacity. The lining is either tin, zinc or aluminum spray because iron contamination is detrimental to the electrical properties. Electrical grade cars are either owned by Monsanto or on a long term lease. Non-Electrical grade Aroclor is shipped in
steel cars .
All electrical grade lots and bulk shipments of non-electrical material are sampled from the final container. That is all tank cars and tank trucks are sampled and analyzed after loading. All electrical grade drums are sampled from one of the drums.
Tank cars and tank trucks are inspected to be sure they are free of dirt and water or other foreign material before loading. Heels are drained before loading some materials. Car washing when necessary is done by the repair track. Tank cars are Bealed with a numbered aluminum seal
Lacquer lined drums are used for Aroclor and Pyranol and plain steel arums are used for Pydrauls.

BACK GROUND INFORMATION
51.
The manufacture of Aroclors was developed quite by chance. The Indian Refining Company, in the latter part of 1926, approached the Swann Chemical Company located in Anniston, Alabama, regarding the production of Biphenyl which the Indian Refining Company wanted to use as a heat transfer medium. The Swann Chemical Company agreed to produce Biphenyl, but first a process had to be developed.
Two years later, in 1928, a pilot plant for producing Biphenyl became operative. However, in the meantime, the Indian Refining Company dropped all interest in Biphenyl. Since a process had been developed for manufacturing Biphenyl, the Swann Chemical Company started looking for other outlets for this material. The simplest outlet was in the form of Chlorinated Biphenyls which were produced in the laboratory in 1929.
The Chlorinated Biphenyls produced exhibited good electrical properties. This was reported to the General Electric Company who Immediately became Interested in the product which ultimately developed into large scale consumption in electrical transformers and capacitors.
The trade name "Aroclors" was adopted for the Chlorinated Biphenyl products. The properties of Aroclors vary from mobile oily liquids to fine white crystals and hard transparent resins. The excellent electrical properties, fire resistance and inertness of the Aroclors make them useful for many applications.
Plant equipment was installed to produce Aroclors at a rate of 2000 pounds per day or 1 million pounds per year. In the following years, this production rate was insufficient to meet the increased sales requirements.
The Swann Chemical Company was purchased by the Monsanto Company in 1925. This purchase gave Monsanto access to the patent rights for the production of Aroclors.
Production Capacity needed to be expanded, and since Monsanto had a Chlorine Plant at Plant"B" (now called the W. 0. Krummrlch Plant), the Aroclor production was transferred from the Anniston Plant to the Monsanto, Illinois Plant, where operations at an increased productive capacity started in September, 1926.
By 19^0, the Krummrlch Plant production capacity was inadequate, and in 19^1, a similar production unit was Installed in the Anniston Plant.

TITLE:
Aroclor Standard Manufacturing Process of Dec 17, 1962 811.01 - 811 07
OBJECTIVE:
Increase amount of Ferric Chloride Catalyst added to the Biphenyl in Dept. 246, Aroclor.
PRESENT PRACTICE:
Presently 1 lb. of ferric chloride is added to the biphenyl charge tank to 4000 lbs. of biphenyl. It is suggested that this amount be increased to 2 lbs. of ferric chloride per 4000 lbs. charge of biphenyl added to the charge tank. It has been shown in the St. Louis Research Reports Nos. 1640 and 2072 that a minimum level of Fe Cl3 catalyst is 0.03$ to produce stable Aroclors.
Aroclors manufactured at the W 0. Krummrlch plant do not meet specs, by as comfortable a margin as Anniston's AroclorB do. If we are to retain our customers for electrical-grade Aroclors at W.G.K., the quality must be improved. Safety will not be affected in any way. This will be a permanent procedure change.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF AROCLOR IN DEPT. 246 6f DECEMBER 17, 1962 - W, BY KHOBBraCTTPiAOT,..M'OWanto, Illinois
SUB-TITLE:
Preparation of Aroclor 12.52 by the direct chlorination process common to Aroclor 1242, 1248, 1254, 1260 and 1262.
PRESENT PROCESS: Aroclors are the reaction products formed by the chlorination of diphenyl in the presence of Iron chloride catalyst. The crude Aroclor, produced in the chlorinator, is air blown, distilled over calcium oxide treated with Attapulgus earth, filtered, and transferred to storage
PROPOSED CHANGE: Amend the existing manufacturing process to Include the production of Aroclor 1252, which contains high percentages of dlchlorobiphenyl, to be used in the large scale preparation of MCS 177,
a 700-800F. heat transfer fluid.
Aroclor 1252 Is prepared by the direct chlorination of diphenyl to a specific gravity of 1.252 to 1.256 at t>5/15-5C. in the presence of iron chloride catalyst. The crude Aroclor 1252 is air blown, and diBtilled over calcium oxide prior to transfer of the product into storage containers at 50 to oOC. Insoluble isomers, present in this special Aroclor 1252, slowly separates out of solution upon prolonged
standing at room temperatures and are very difficult to redissolve. Since this product is a starting material for the MCS 177 process, the Attapulgus treatment and final filtration are optional but not necessary.

This special Aroclor 1232 cannot be back-blended If the finished product is off on its prescribed chlorine specifications The incorporation of excess monochloroblphenyls into the product will increase the volatility of the MCS 177 and the addition of trlchloro-
oiphenyls will drastically raise the pour point of the finished heat
transfer fluid. Abnormal compositions of this Aroclor 1232 are readily detectable by gas-liquid chromatographic analyses.
Approval is requested to demonstrate this change as a source of the necessary starting material for Monsanto's candidate, in the lucrative field of high temperature heat transfer applications.

TENTATIVE AMENDMENT AROCLOR PROCESS
January 23, 1951
Dept. 246, Plant B
This amendment provides for the addition of anhydrous FeCla, O.J$ by weight of biphenyl, to the chlorinator as fortifying catalyst for the production of Aroclor 1160
This change in process operation is a result of a complaint submitted because of the presence of green color in Aroclor 1260. Research work has indicated a trend toward improved color when anhydrous FeCla is used either alone or in combination with plant steel catalyst. To cite an example, using 5# by weight plant steel catalyst, an untreated Aroclor 1260 was prepared in the laboratory having a color of 5656 Transmission (Fisher Electrophotometer, filler 425B), whereas from a batch in which the same catalyst plus 0 3# by weight anhydrous FeCl3 was employed, an Aroclor 1260 of 72% Transmission was obtained. Extensive analyses of the Aroclor 1260, which was prepared using plant steel in conjunction with 0.3# by weight anhydrous FeCla, did not indicate any abnormalities or deviations from usual quality material. A complete summary of the Research work is presented in a memorandum to Dr. R. M. Hitchens, January 24, 1951-
It Is proposed to condut a plant demonstration which will comprise the production of three to four chlorination batches of Aroclor 1160 using 0,y% by weight of the biphenyl charge as anhydrous FeCla. Depending on the outcome of this plant trial, that is, if a color Improvement is observed and a normal quality product is retained, a run of longer duration will be planned to study further the effect of anhydrous FeCla catalyst on the color of Aroclor 1260. This may include variations in the amount of FeCl3 charged to the chlorinator.

TENTATIVE AMENDMENT NO.
B
Title:
Aroclor - Standard Manufacturing Process
Objective:
.
This amendment covers changes in the chlorination step of the Aroclor process; in particular, it suggests that the batch of biphenyl be circulated In the chlorinator during the entire period of chlorination, and that a temperature of 120-150C., be maintained during the whole chlorination
Previous Practice:
.
In the Manufacturjng Process, no definite temperature is described for the
start of the Chlorination. For the biphenyl measuring tank a temperature of at least 85C., is recommended and as a "finishing temperature" a range
of 120-135C is described for Aroclor 12*42 and 1248, a "finishing temp erature" of 120-15>0C., for Aroclor 12^4, 1260 and 12o2.
The circulation of each batch in the chlorinator is started after the first four (4) hours of the chlorination (approximately half of the total chlorination time of Aroclor 1242).
proposed Amendment s
The biphenyl charge will be heated to at least 115-120C., in the measurJ ng
tank. After charging the chlorinator, circulation will be started before the chlorine feed is begun to allow distribution of the ferric chloride catalyst.
The temperature of the chlorinator should be brought up to 130C., in a minimum time usually 20 to 30 minutes after the chlorine introduction The chlorination of bJphepyl to all liquid Aroclors should be carried out at a reaction temperature of 130-150C.

TRAN 009302
WATER PCB-SD0000023704
Tentative Amendment No. B -2- September 27, 1957
Proposed Amendment (Cont'd.)
NOTE:
In order to mechanically reduce losses due to sublimation and en trainment, it Is suggested that the circulating line introducing the charge into the top of the chlorination be extended to the surface level of the biphenyl charge. This will prevent the reaction mix ture from being sprayed into the exit gas stream and should ell minate some entrainment.
Justification:
Laboratory experiments and actual plant runs have Indicated that catalyst concentration and reaction temperature are imperative for the production of an end product of good quality. (Final Report No. 1640, October 22, 1956 by H Merten, Progess Report No. 5j Job No 3428 Code IND FL,
of August, 1957 by H Merten and A. M. Ellenburg.
Circulating each biphenyl batch from the beginning of the chlorination should facilitate the production of a more uniform material, since a better contact of the biphenyl charge with the catalyst at the start of each chlori nation 1b made possible. The catalyst will be distributed more evenly and hot spots will be eliminated.
The production of inferior Aroclor caused by too low a chlorination temp erature of deficient catalyst distribution would be avoided by changing the present Manufacturing Process according to this amendment.
In addition to the data obtained by laboratory experiments (described above) the following Table I illustrates the effect of temperature changes on the quality of the end product of actual plant runs (shown by stability chloride values). Table II indicates the improvement in the stability of different Aroclors produced by circulation of the batches during the whole chlorination period compared to runs carried out with batch circulation after the lapse of a four-hour chlorination period.

Title: Aroclor - Standard Manufacturing Process for Department 246,
W. 0. Krummrich - Revised 3/15/55 - 0. N. Schwartz.
Objective: This amendment covers process changes in the chlorination step of the Aroclor Process, Section V Part B, concerning the Catalyst.
Present Practice: The biphenyl charge is dropped by gravity to the #1 2, 3 4 or 5 chlorlnators. The chlorlnators are constructed of steel and are 3 feet ;in diameter x 16 feet in height. For catalyst, they contain an 6 foot bed of coarse steel turnings which have been burned free of oil and moisture over an open gas flame prior to their introduction
into the chlorinator. Additional catalyst is added to the chlorlnators as required. Normally, this is not necessary more than once a year.
Proposed Amendment:
,
In addition to the present catalyst source, each chlorinator batch of
>600 or 4000 pounds of biphenyl will be charged with 2 pounds of an
hydrous ferric chloride before the chlorination begins,.
justification: Experience has shown that various degrees of unstable Aroclor can result at times from the present method of supplying catalyst to the chlorination step. The use of FeCl3 has been investigated and found to give a very stable product when used in the suggested purport ion
The complaints from General Electric Company on Aroclor 1242 re garding the instability of certa n material produced in July and August, 1956, make it mandatory that we maintain our Aroclor quality at its
maximum at all times.

PROCESS AMENDMENT - AROCLORS Dept46 - w.Q.K. FEM
Title Modification of chlorination temperatures for Aroclor production
Purpose To provide chlorination temperature ranges that are more compatible
with plant conditions
Old Procedure
0
Biphenyl chlorination is performed at temperature range of 150 to 150 C.
Proposed Procedure Initial chlorination of Biphenyl may be started at a minimum temperature
of 95C. provided that 120C is reached within 1/2 hour. Chlorination may be continued for the next tow hours at a temperature no less than 120C. Completion of the batch will then be controlled between 130 and
150C.
Reason and Justification
^
Normal Biphenyl storage is maintained at approximately 95 C. to keep
safely below the flash point. Therefore to adhere strictly to the
process would require heating of the batch to 130C. before chlorination.
This results in production delays and increased Biphenyl pluggage in
chlorinator off gas lines. Based on plant experience most chlorlnators
are recharged while still hot from the preceedlng batch; this normally
yeilds a starting temperature in the range of 120C. However, occasionally
delays cause charging to a cooler chlorinator where the net temperature
may approach 95C. This proposal would allow chlorination to start
immediately under these conditions The batch temperature would then rise
rapidly from its own heat with water being applied later to line
out the temperature somewhere Blightly above 120C. A lower temperature
range 120 to 130C. is needed for the first two hours to reduce Biphenyl
carry-over into the off gas lines.

AROCLOR
APPENDIX M
QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS
The Aroclor compounds are among the most versatile chemically-made materials in industry, Aroclors are useful in many ways because of their outstanding inertness.
Aroclors are used alone for particular physical jobs such as insulating, heat transfer, sealants, and expansion media; and they are used as com ponents or extendors in elastomers, adhesives, paints, lacquers, var nishes, pigment6 and waxes.
Aroclors must be highly pure, with dependably minimal traces of electro lytes for use in electrical applications. Electrical grade Aroclors must pass numerous stringent specifications. The following tests determine. Aroclor quality:
Hydrolysis stability
Measure of chemically unstable chlorine compounds,
Munch or Monsanto Stability Test
Measure of thermally unstable chlorine compounds at elevated temperatures.
Thermal Chemical Chloride
Developed by the General Electric Co. to measure chemically and thermally unstable chlorine compounds.
Resistivity
Measure of insulative properties.
Power Factor
Measures power Iobs due to current through a capacitor.
Dielectric Constant
Measures the capacitance of a standard such as air compared to the capacitances of Aroclor.
Specific Gravity, . refractive index
Measures of chlorination level.
The stability and electrical properties of electrical-grade Aroclors are paramount in quality considerations. The chlorination step of the process is most critical because many properties of the final product are deter mined by the properties of the crude Aroclor, Conditions in the chlorinator needed for a good quality product are:
1. Chlorination Temperature - The chlorination temperature must be greater than;120*G<`fct the beginning of the chlorination reaction to pr'Oduce stable Aroclors. Results of research tests indicate that product stability is better as the initial chlorination temperature is increased.

APPENDIX M
QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS
2. Ferric Chloride Concentration - Research has found that the ferric chloride concentration must be at least 0.03% to form stable products. Research recommends 0.05% ferric chloride. Lower catalyst ratios result in increased "addition" chlorination as opposed to "substitution" chlorination, indicated by higher chloride values and lower yields.
The isomeric distribution of the final product is a function of the type and concentration of the catalyst used in the reaction.
Homogeneous suspension of the catalyst is extremely important. Good catalyst contact can not be attained without homogeneous sus pension. Since ferric chloride does not mix well with biphenyl, the dry catalyst must not be poured into the chlorinator,
3. Geometry of Reacting VcsbcI - The shape of the reactor affects the circulation and flow pattern bf the reactants. It is suspected that the chlorine gas channels through a void space, in the existing catalyst basket. This problem is presently being studied.
The reactor must be designed such that circulation of reactants is rapid and homogeneous and local over-chlorination does not occur.
4. Cleanliness - The ferric chloride catalyst settles to the bottom of the chlorinator. Areas of the packed bed become plugged with ferric chloride and channeling of reactant flow may result.
A steam clean-out of the chlorinator may be an expedient method to remove the ferric chloride. This method was tried in the department, and evidently was successful. Further tests by the laboratory will verify the effectiveness of a steam clean-out.
5. Sparging - The sparger controls the gas distribution under the cata-
lyst hold-up plate and the size of gas bubbles. It is not known whether
the catalyst basket or sparger or both are the critical factors in
achieving the proper flow of gas through the reactor. It is believed
that the sparger should distribute small bubbles give good gas dis
tribution throughout the chlorinator. The small bubbles have a greater
surface area per unit volume of gas for mass transfer, and fhis should
increase, the rdactidn r&te,
;.
6. Raw Material Purity - The purity of raw materials can affect the quality of Aroclors. Sulfates are particularly harmful in the chlorine gas. It is suspected that sulfates poison the ferric chloride catalyst and Sulfonate some of the biphenyl. If the ferric chloride catalyst is . poisoned, the effective catalyst concentration is reduced and thus un stable aroclors will be produced. The chemistry and mechanism of catalytic poisoning are not known for certain. Sulfonated biphenyl is carried-over during distillation and is not removed by earth treating.

APPENDIX M
QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS
6, Raw Material Purity (Cont'd, )
Sulfonated biphenyl has ionic properties which lowers the resis tivity of the finished product. A Brink Mist Eliminator has been installed in Dept. 246 to eliminate the chlorine impurities,
7, Earth Treatment - The factors affecting stability also influence the electrical properties of Aroclors. An absorbent will be inef fective if the Aroclor was not prepared in a manner such that a stable product was formed during the chlorination reaction.
However, research has found that absorbents are very effective for improvement of electrical properties by removing ferric chloride and tar b carried-over during distillation, provided the crude Aroclor has good stability.
The absorbent used in Dept. 246 (after distillation) is Attapulgus Earth; . .
the concentration should be 0.05% for Aroclor 1242 and 0.1% for other
Aroclors, The earth must be heat treated at 250C. for a minimum
of 4 hours before addition to the Aroclor. Heat treatment reduces
the moisture and activates the earth.
\
8. Lime Treatment - It is important that proper amount of lime
(250 pounds per, still run) be added to the still to prevent sublima
tion of ferric chloride.
9. The blend tanks, finished product tanks, and Aroclor 1242 and 1254
storage tanks are blanketed with nitrogen gas. Nitrogen blanketing
maintains the electrical properties of the Aroclors by preventing
corrosion of the equipment,
,
In summary, the chlorination step of the process is the most critical. A good quality Aroclor can not be produced if a stable compound is not formed during chlorination.
Once a stable compound is formed, other techniques such as use of lime, absorbents, and nitrogen blanketing are used to maintain and improve electrical properties.

QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS (Cont1d,)
Absorbents
Numerous absorbentB have been screened in the laboratory at various contact temperatures for their effect on resistivity of plant untreated Aroclor 1242.
The most satisfactory absorbent pound for improving the resistivity
of Aroclor 1242 was LVM attasorb. Table I of this section lists the laboratory results of the different absorbents used to treat Aroclor 1242.
Degradation of Aroclors
Degradation of Aroclors, which leads to loss in eleotrical resistivity, is one of the short comings of UBing Aroclor as a dielectric, especially since only a very minor degradation can cause a serious breakdown in electrical equipment.
The thermal degradation of fractionated Aroclor has been measured at 250C. and the amount of Hydrogen Chloride liberated was measured. The
results of these testa are listed in table II of this section.
' Aroclor 1242 has been degraded by ultraviolent light, and the decrease in electrical resistivity with irradiation time was measured. The plot of resistivity versus time of irradiation (Figure 1 of this section) resembles a conductivity versus concentration curve for a weak electrolyte. It is possible to remove the conducting material brought about by photo-degrad ation, and restore the resistivity to its original value by passing the
degraded material over activated alumina.
Thermal degradation of Aroclors is minor compared to photo chemical degradation. Thermal treatment causes release of a small amount of hydrogen Chloride initially, but this evolution ceases after a Bhort time. Such behavior is attributed to thermal degradation of impurities. If Aroclor is irrodiated, then exposed to a thermal treatment, appreciably
more HC1 is liberated.

WATER POLLUTION; AROCLOR CONTROL
"PERSONNEL.!
M. Pierle (C. P, Buckley)
PROOLEMi
To determine source and quantity of Aroclor losses to the sewer.
Aroclor losses are confined to Departments 238, 217, 218, 243, 245, 246, 258 270, 273, and 275. Department 245 Is now hauling 3600-4800 gallons/year of spent aroclor to the Monsanto landfill. The remaining major source of aroclor In the sewer is Department 246. From yield losses It is estimated that these losses total 40,000 #/yr. to the sewer. A project with estimated cost of $10,000 Is presently being developed to minimize the Department 246 losses.
Water and mud samples are being taken to determine both the actual plant losses and the effect of W.G.K.'s outfall on the aroclor levels in the Mississippi River.

September 22. 1969
BACKGROUND;
The outbreak of adverse publicity toward the use of chlorinated
hydrocarbon Insecticides has caused the W.G.K. plant to study the
losses of polychlorinated biphenyl (aroclor) from the plant. Recent
studies have indicated that PCB materials act similar to the insecti
cides in that they are resistant to biological breakdown in the
environment, and therefore, they tend to concentrate in animals such
as birds or fish.
The object of this report is to summarize preliminary information on the sources and quantities of aroclor material in the W.G.K. plant effluent.
DETAILS:
A. Sources
1. Each manufacturing department was surveyed to determine whether or not aroclor could be present in its effluent. The use of aroclor is oonfined to Departments 238, 243,
2*5, 258, 270, 273, and 275.
2. Aroclor has also been detected in the catch pot systems In Department 218 and 217 This is contained in the HC1 off-gas from Department 2*6.
3. The manufacturing department, 2*6, has aroclor in its
effluent. This is readily visible in the department's trench sewers.
B. Quantity
1. Although aroclor is used in the above stated departments, only two departments (2*5, 238) have to completely change out their system on a routine basis.
Department 2*5 uses 600 gallons every 1 1/2 - 2 months, and Department 238 uses about 2,000 gallons/year. Other department losses are from vapor losses due to tank breathing and leaks from pump packing.
2. The amount of aroclor in the HC1 off-gas system is believed
to be minor since it is infrequently found in the 217 and 218 catch pots.
3. Based on yield losses, Department 2*6 losses are estimated
at *0,000#/yr.

B. Quantity (continued)
4. General
The following sampling program has been developed to quantify the losses from the W.G.K. plant and to de termine the effects In the Mississippi River.
Liquid Samples
1. Plant outfall - one weekly composite sample. 2. One weekly composite sample representing effluent
from Department 246.
Mud Samples
1. Sample from primary treatment plant sludge. 2. 0.5 miles upstream of outfall. 3. 200 feet below outfall. 4. 1.0 miles below outfall.
All of above are taken once per month.
To date, due to work priority, analytical results are not available. Samples will continue to be collected.
C. Control Measures
1. Dept. 245 - The aroclor which previously had been sewered is now being hauled to the Monsanto landfill. This amounts to a plant reduction of 3600 to 4800 gallons per year.
2. Dept. 238 - This material has and will continue to be dis posed of at the landfill.
3. A project is presently being developed for Dept. 246 as part of a general paving project which should minimise aroclor losses. It involves the construction of settling chambers in trench sewers which will act as collection basins for the aroclor. The material will be removed by either a steam Jet pump or a sump pump if it is needed. The estimated cost for aroclor loss control is $10,000.

CONCLUSIONS:
1. The major sources of aroclor In the plant effluent is Department 246.
2. Laboratory results are not yet available to actually quantify total plant or Department 246 losses.
3. A project to minimise Department 246 losses is being developed. Estimated cost is $10,000.
FUTURE WORK: 1. Continue supplying samples to the laboratory. 2. Improve monitoring system in Department 246. 3. Report on analytical results when obtained.

SAFETY:
'
The waste water effluent from the Aroclor department contains mainly HCl and Aroclor (i.c., In low concentrations). UC1 fumes and acid are very corrosive to the skin and mucous tissue. Repeated exposure to Aroclor can cause a condition of chlorance. Hence, any area exposed to the waste water should be washed thoroughly with copious amounts of water. If exposure is in a critical area as the eyer, consult a physician.

One very Important objective of oar PCB environmental control program \;as to control the lcooec of X'C.B in
our plants to nehievo a maximum of 50 ppb in the waste vatoi' effluent by 1-1-71 and 10 ppb by 9-1-71.
During the month of September, hevrport reported p.n average.- of 246 ppb. During November Anniston re ported 1410 ppb and the Krumiorich Plant reported
495 PPb.
Because of the sciiousnons of the PCB problem this
level of performance cannot be allowed to continue.

to adsorb the material, shovel it into drums. The drums
were taken to a landfill.
Q Is that the only method that was used?
A Yes. Rags instead of Floor-Dri compound,
where it was appropriate.
Yes, in general, that was the way.
Q How would any PCBs find their way out of the

He was aware since then that they
had been found. MR. SCHINK:

Q You are aware today, are you not, that PCBs were discharged from the Anniston Plant and found their way into streams and municipal treatment plant sewers and waters generally outside the plant? A Yes, I later became aware of that. Q What I am asking you is from your knowledge of the production and the operation of the Anniston Plant and the Aroclor Production Department, how did that happen? A I think based on our later study that we began to understand that that was even very small leaks which later one would be washed down or perhaps due to rainfall could create small concentrations of PCBs in the waste water which we eventually did learn to measure Q Let us start with the leaks.

This meetjing was called to review Aroclor 1142 fractionation work by Research and develop a program of action involving Engineering.
The background was reviewed on Aroclor uses and the basis for the proposed fractionation step in the refining process to istrove biodegradability. Dur ing the discussion of product conf>osition, preliminary laboratory batch dis tillations and production rates, the following basis was established for the
requested^ economic evaluation study.
1. The fractionated product will be designated as 1242-B.
2. Projduction rate - 30ff lb/yr.
3. Continuous fractionation of 1142 taking 82% overhead.
4. The higher boiling isomers from the colum bottoms will be taken as a side stream and processed to Aroclors 1254 and 1260. The residue will be processed to recover yield in the present residue recovery systems.
5. The project will be based on blocked operation at one plant. No provisions are planned for co-product manufacture of 1242 and 1242-B. The design capacity will match the existing plant 1242 unit.
The future plans are as follows for sequential actions:
1. Develop preliminary economics for fractionation by 4/13
2. Discuss additional cost with major customers.
3. Identify data needed for design.
4. Carry out process development in Research. 5. Define project and prepare project scope.

I reviewed our biodegradation studies with R. Munch, R. Kountz, S. Tucker, B. Emery and J. Savage on Thursday, July 16, 1970.
1. Monaanto-USA Studies
River die-away studies indicated Aroclor 1221
disappears, Aroclors 1242, 1243 and 1254 were
undegraded.
'
Semi-continuous activated sludge studies indloate
that selective degradation of specific homologs does occur because peaks normally present in
Aroclor 1221, 1242 and 1248 disappear.
2. Monaanto-U.K. Studies
Shake flask studies demonstrate that 2,4*-, 2,2,3- and 2,3,4'- isomers degrade readily.
2,2',4,6-, 2,2',4,4', and 4,4' do not degrade.
Ruabon laboratory also demonstrated by peak anrlysis that MC3-1016 and Aroclor 1130 are more degradable than Aroclor 1242.
3. Environment Samples
Investigators in both Europe and USA find Isomers in wildlife that resemble those in Aroclor 1254. Predominant homologs present in Aroclor 1242 are usually not found except dose to industrial plants. Since large quantities of Aroolor 1242
are produced and released to the environment, degradation must be ooourrlng.
TRAN 0371^2
WATER PCB-SD0000023743
-2"
Evidence of degradation has been noted by Monsanto laboratory in studies of foundry plant settling ponds, milk and fish. Peaks which art present in the original Aroclor are modified or missing in the sample extract indicating degradation.
4. MCS-1016
Considerable discussion was held on what is meant by "biodegradable" when describing MCS-1016. Capacitor customers I visited had the erroneous impression that this meant the material could be introduced into the plant sewer system and would be non-detectable a very short distance downstream. For our purposes, the term "biodegradable" means that peaks which persisted through the biodegradation tests with Aroclor 1242 are significantly reduced in this distilled product. Neither Aroclor 1242 or MCS-1016 can be dumped into the environment. Users of either material must exercise control. In some Instances this may require activated sludge treatment units. It is generally agreed that the relative improvement in biodegradability is an advantage which the capacitor industry will find interesting. We must establish if the less controllable hydraulic fluids applications can materially benefit from the use of MCS-1016.
5. Current Work '
At Ruabon, work continues on HB-40, Aroclors and Pyralene 1500 (a competitive product). Dr. W. C. Evans, University of North Wales, Bangor is investigating some microorganisms vfolch he believes are effective on FOB'S.
E. Bnery is completing his studies on HB-40 and MIPB. He will immediately start tests to determine relative per cent degradation of Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1254, MCS-1016 and Aroclor 1230B. These tests take about 3 weeks to oomplete and his equipment provides for testing four produots at a time. Analytical facilities are manned 7 days per week, 12 hours per day. Equipment needs are being evaluated.

MARKETING?
Market withdrawal programs continue on schedule. Therminol food users are converting to Thermlnol 66 or Thermlnol 55, with little loss of business.
Customer letters for notification of Pydraul F9A are prepared and will be Issued when manufacture Is complete (estimate 2 weeks).
The withdrawal/replacement program for Aroclor plasticizers appears to be going well. Several customers have reported success in reformulating In such applications as epoxy coatlng/pottlng systems and Inks. Production orders for the products being withdrawn have been very heavy, however, the producing plants and production planning have done an excellent Job of keeping shipments moving In an orderly fashion.

north of Holland, with speolal reference to PCB's. They were advised to get in touch with Bayer and
Prodeleo for information on the usage of PCB's in
Belgium and within the whole of the ESC.
Implementation of the PCB plan for Europe is held up pending further meetings with the other PCB producers, firstly to determine their attitude towards a voluntary withdrawal from uncontrollable applications, and secondly to determine their reaction in the event of a unilateral withdrawal
by Monsanto.

RESEARCH
Aroolor 1242 Replacement for NCR
The two major problems with monoisopropyl biphenyl (MIPS) are now defined as odor and eye Irritation. Both problems could be solved by changing from propylene to a higher olefin for alkylation of biphenyl. Major interest is now centered on Cg g 10 alkyl biphenyl (ABP-ll) from Ethyl Corp. ^ -oifefin, our oxo process feedstock. Early testing by NCR was highly encouraging, however, print fade looms as a major problem. Back-up candidates include butyl, amyl, and hexyl biphenyl.
A series of six odor masks were provided NCR in an effort to improve the odor of MIPB without Interfering with solvent performance.
Samples of extender and cosolvents were supplied to NCR to improve dye solubility and to give more rapid color development than NCR's current cosolvent. These materials are (1) heads fraction from alkyl benzene manufacture at Chocolate Bayou, (2) alkyl benzene (Alkylate 215), and (3) alkyl benzene high boiler (Alkylate H-230).
Plastlolzer Replacements
Blends of Aroclors 5^60, 5442 and 1221 were developed to approximately match the vlsoosities of Aroclors 1254, 1248 and 1242. Replacement recommendations were made to customers to whom visooslty is Important. Specifications are being developed in cooperation with the Anniston Laboratory.
MCS-1016
Sixteen drums of the MCS-1016 have been prepared by fractionating Arodor 1142 in a packed column equivalent to 25 trays in the Dayton Pilot Plant. The distillate was brought here and analyzed. Then the fractions were recombined to give the desired composition and treated with a Porocel column to give the desired electrical properties. The product is now ready for shipment to customers for testing in capaoltors. Since all the eleotrical properties of MCS are indistinguishable from those of Aroclor 1242 and there are only minor differences in other properties, this fluid should be a direct substitute for Aroclor 1242 in the oapaoltor industry with no capacitor design change or processing changes needed.

Pydraul F-9A
Pydraul P-9 was reformulated as Pydraul F-9A to avoid the use of chlorinated biphenyl. The new formulation is compatible with P-9. The lubricity in V105E pump tests is superior to any fluid we have ever run.

NC Phosphate Ester
Manufacturing costs are directly proportional to reaction times in the Step I reactor. We demonstrated that foaming in the Step I lab reactor and reaction time could be reduced by concurrent addition of POCI3 and nonylphenol/ oumylphenol. This should bring the reactor cyole to <6 hours. The process pay-load might
be further increased by employing the SchottenBaumann Step II and III reactors.
The pilot plant is reworking 1000 pounds of plant material by acid hydrolysis and washing to reduce acidity and hydrolyzable material.

Biodegradation - Ruabon
Priority has been given to the development of more refined GLC analytical techniques so that more selectivity will be available for degradation studies of multicomponent PCB's such as Aroclor 1242. This has caused some delay, but work in progress Includes biodegradation studies of Pyralene 1500 (a competitive product), two of the key isomers for assessing the viability of the theoretical mechanism for degradation and HB-40. We are also studying the soil culture which Professor Evans, at Bangor University, has said will grow on Aroclors 1242 or 1254 as sole carbon souroe.
Biodegradation Testing - St. Louis
Testing of Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1254, MCS-1016 (Aroclor 1242B), and Aroclor 1230B in our semicontinuous activated sludge units will be started as soon as sample background problems have been resolved.

Commenta on the PCS situation at JFQi
1. Central Drumming
Ve are now under an edict to eliminate all PCBfs from our industrial fluid (Pydraul) line by the end of the first quarter of 1971. We therefore will not be using any PCBfs in Central Drumming (note that Aroclor 5442 and 54>2 are not PCB's). Therefore, we cannot Justify capital in CD for curbs, eto. on this basis, although housekeeping or "routine" pollution considerations might still Justify some expenditure.
It is certainly true that extreme care must be exercised to avoid losses during the next few months.
2. Heat Transfer Systems
Any filling or topping off of these systems should be done with Theralnol PR-1 (Aroclor 1242). Ve have begun converting our customers, but the word may not have reached Monsanto users who order fluid under Aroclor nomenclature. D. B. Roush (442529) can answer any technical questions. FR-1 is no panacea, but is less of an environmental problem.
3. ^Aroclor 1232 in TSClt
This service should be converted ' to 1221 if possible. Aroclor 1221 is relatively biodegradable, while 1232 is m blend of 1221 and 12*2, which contains several per sent of very persistent Isomers.

I. INTRODUCTION
PCS'4 containing Aroclors are extremely 4 tabIt and highly inert
(laid* and as such went considered to be a salt (laid. Recent
evidence, however, indicates that PCBs have an adverse ejject on
the environment. Since arodors are only slowly degradeable
through natural means there is concern over their buildup in the
environment. Aroclors in the 1200 series are o{ primary concern.
The higher the number, the more resistant is the (laid to bio
degradation.
#
To protect the environment Monsanto has established a sell imposed limitation ol PCB losses to the waste elltuent ol 10 ppb. In
addition, volatile losses to the atmosphere are to be essentially eliminated.
The purpose ol this report is to relate the interim and permanent steps taken to date to reduce PCB losses to the environment and to invite comments on measures proposed to obtain a guAtheA and permanent
reduction in losses.

provide adequate fire protection. Tht auto ignition temperature of T-66 is 364*C or 120*C higher than temperature oi the heating steam. Therefore instrument malfunctions cannot result in over heating of the fluid.
A PAH for the necessary changes can be submitted by

I. Phthalyl Chloride
.
This department has one Aroclor system used for both heating and cooling of a reactor. Heating is accomplished by the use of bayonet heater submerged in the agitated jacket. The fluid is circulated through an external, heat exchanger for cooling of the reactor.
Losses are about WOO lbs./yr. and are primarily from pump leaks. Atmospheric losses are estimated to be 69 Ibs./yr.
Corrosion of the vessel has become a major problem. The corrosion is caused by the introduction of atmospheric moisture which causes the breakdown of Aroclor to form HCl at the temperatures used (300*0. The moisture is introduced by the breathing action taking place via the open vent as alternate heating and cooling cycles are employed.
Jacket maintenance costs from corrosion average $1560/yr.
Corrective action is a necessity to prevent the loss of the $15,000 reactor and consequent business interruption.
Interim actions have been taken to reduce the PC8 loss and
limit its effect on the environment. Aroclor 1242 is used
* to make up any fluid lost. A temporary drip pan at the pump
packing gland has been provided. Operators have been
*
instructed to take precautions against allowing Aroclor
fluid to enter the waste effluent and operating instructions

The attematives were discussed uiith the department supervisor C. Schrock. Alternate *1 was chosen primarily {or sa{ety reasons. The use o{ electrical heating units in the jacket was the overriding consideration. Temperatures could exceed the auto ignition temperature. 1{ the inerting system would {ail, an explosive situation could result.

comments are received.
'
"ID" Building
The. "W" Building has three Aroclor heater systems. The
Small homemade unit located in the center section is no longer used and will be isolated to prevent use.
The "yard" unit has an excellent maintenance record and addition o{ {laid is rare. The losses that do occur are
{rom pump leaks and volatile losses through the open vent.
The principle source o{ loss {or "W" Building operations is, the leader unit located south o{ the "BBB" Building. Last
year the pump seal {ailed on {ive occassions and accounts {or the majority o{ the loss. In addition some volatile losses are incurred through the open vent.

.
The magnitude, of PCS losses at CLHS ant unknown, but ant believed to be large. M>i. J. R. Savage in his memo of 9/23/70 stated that by 4/1/71 PCS containing Arc dors Mitt
no longer be handled in CLHS and that capital improvements cannot be justidied on this basis.
Vepartmcnt supervision has been requested to exert care in preventing losses within equipment limitations. Hr. E. R. Re&gir has recommended a number of minor improvements to
department supervision to minimize lasses. The pollution group arranged a (Urn presentation for all personnel involved for motivational purposes.
A PAFE has been submitted to replace the present Aroclor unloading pump which has always leaked badly. Prime justi fication for this project is not based on PCS losses, but on unloading capacity, safety and reduced repairs.
C. Sewer Sampling
Composite samples of the main effluent are submitted for PCS analysis each month. The reported results are:

PPb
46 43.S 43.0 77 70 11.9
Analytical problems have been encountered by Research and the figures for September and October are open to question. New faboratoru facilities have just been completed. The November
results shown were obtained in the new facilities.
P. Volatile Losses
The volatile losses from the Aroclor unit in phthalyl chloride were calculated at 69 Ibs./yr. Volatile losses from the other units are believed to be considerably less. No attempt to
calculate or measure these losses was made since completion of the changes proposed in this report will essentially eliminate them.

NCR appears to be making very satisfactory progress toward the replacement of Aroclor 1242 In their carbonless reproduction paper solvent. To date, Monsanto has shipped nearly 100,000 pounds of the replacement product - monoisopropyl biphenyl (MIPB) to NCR. An additional 100,000 pounds is scheduled for delivery In January followed by 500,000 pounds in February. NCR is attempting to reach complete conversion by the end of February.
Through our Australian organization we have received an inquiry from the Electracity Trust of South Australia. They have recently received corres pondence from General Electric Company, U.S.A., concerning the problems with Askarel Liquid Di electric. As a result, they are requesting infor mation from Monsanto as to the arrangements in
Australia for the disposing of contaminated mater ials. We anticipate other Inquiries from other parts of the world.
We met with Mr. Katayama of MMK in November. We
discussed with him the PCB plans in the U.S. and re viewed the current situation in Japan. As a result, MMK representatives will meet with Kaneka (the other major supplier of polychlorinated biphenyl in Japan) to discuss future PCB plans for Japan.

Incineration - Krummrlch - CEA 2*415
Plot plans and layouts have been resolved, and process deBlgn Is complete. Design of piping, electrical, and instrumentation are proceeding on schedule.
MCS 1016 - Krummrlch - CEA 2417
Customer trials of the pilot plant product indicated an undesirable high level of low boilers. In a meeting with Research and Manufacturing it was decided to provide facilities in the project for removing a percentage of low boilers as well as the high boilers. The project scope and estimate are being revised, and a revised Data Transmittal is
scheduled for submission in late December.
Trlbutyl Phosphate - Queeny - CEA 2371
An early pilot plant run indicated a severe yield problem in the process. Continued studies by Res
earch and Engineering have pinpointed some of the problems, and it is believed a substantial yield improvement can be made.
Pre-approval funds have been requested to proceed with definitive design.
N-C Phosphate - Queeny - CEA 2451
Pilot plant studies are currently being made on this product, and a project scope report Is being developed.
Solids Waste Disposal - Krummrlch - CEA 8042
Engineering, Research, Manufacturing, and Marketing have
been studying disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls on solids. A test was devised with Enviro-Chem, samples of wastes have been collected, and the test is scheduled to be run December 1.
Preliminary discussions have been held with potential equipment vendors.
JAPAN:
No new action or reports on toxicity to fish/animals.
Court action on suits on bran oil exposure humans
continuing with attendant newspaper publicity. Major
executives of company which processed bran oil cannot
be located. More stringent testing and licensing of
equipment using PCS as heat transfer will probably
occur for food processing equipment.

NCR-Japan rejecting HB-40 because they prefer one oil for both clay and resin-type granules and Jujo Paper Is definitely switching to resln-coat. Kureha oil refined from heavy oil cracking bottoms (mixed aromatics of complex nature) is also being tested. MMK is pushing MIPB assuming NCR-Dayton preference for MIPS. No final decision yet. HB-40 also offered by MMK but MIPB provides better balance on biphenyl/terphenyl.
EUROPE:
1. The decision has been taken to cease sales to noncontrollable applications in the UK by 1 March, 1971.
2. Sales will continue for all applications in continental Europe until the end of 1971* but reformulated products will be introduced where possible.
3. We will continue to supply products containing PCB's to German mines through 1971 even where reformulated products are available, until approval is gained for the reformulated products.
4. Customers will be informed before the end of November 1970 of this policy.
5. We have been assured by the other European producers that they will not knowingly supply former Monsanto customers in the UK or USA.
6. Bayer have indicated that they are in agreement with the Monsanto timing for withdrawal from noncontrollable applications.
7. Progil/Caffaro do not yet agree and wish to study the problem further. We have invited their repre sentatives to Ruabon for technical discussion.
8. The UK Board of Trade, through their Marine Safety Department, have proposed that Aroclor should be classified under Class 9, Dangerous Goods, for the purpose of carriage by sea. We will meet with the Board of Trade in December to discuss this and following discussion with J. T. Garrett will attempt to persuade the Board of Trade to alter the pro posal.

MEDICAL:
Arrangements were made for initiating acute and sub
acute studies at Industrial Bio-Test Laboratory for Aroclor 1221, 5432, 5^42 and MCS 1016. Sub-acute studies will include 90 day rat and 90 day dog studies and sub acute fish studies (according to protocols to be devel oped). Rat and chicken reproduction and rabbit tera tology studies are being deferred for the time being. Rabbit teratology studies were begun with Aroclors
1242, 1254 and 1260.
PUBLIC RELATIONS:
The Anniston Star, Anniston, Ala., obtained figures from the FDA which showed unusually high levels of PCB in fish samples taken from Choccolocco Creek. A Star reporter contacted the Anniston plant for comments on
the data and information about our PCB production oper ations there. Public relations prepared replies to specific questions.
Plant management convinced the reporter to visit the plant for a firsthand view of what the plant was doing to eliminate PCB escape to the environment. A factual
front-page feature appeared in the Star Sunday, November 22,
edition reflecting the value of cooperation with news media planning PCB stories.
Quoting both plant management and the Alabama Water Improvement Commission, the feature emphasized the PCB problem was relatively new, was being solved by Monsanto and, at this point, was no cause for public alarm.
RESEARCH:
Biodegradation Testing - St. Louis
TRAN 039083
Statistical analysis (t-tests) of the data mecumulated to date in the semi-continuous activated sludge (SCAS) testing of the PCB Aroclor products Indicates that some bacterial degradation is occurring. The percent dis appearance rates, based on a feed level of 1 mg/cycle,
were as follows: MCS 1043--55% (p - 0.05)J MCS 1016-- 11% (p - 0.05); Aroclor 1242--30% (p - 0.05)i Aroclor 1254--0% (p 0.05). However, the observed degradation

rates are still highly scattered indicating that the units have not reached a steady state yet.
Other physical sources of data scatter are being investi gated. The addition of stirring, modification of the sampling method and the elimination of the LAS from the feed all appear to be steps in the appropriated direction* but have by no means totally eliminated the scatter.
SCAS testing of trichlorobenzene (TCB) and Arobromochlor 1232 at the 1 mg/cycle level have been started and analysis of the first samples is in progress.
River die-away (RDA) tests have been started for Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1254, MCS 1016, MCS 1043, Arobromo chlor 1232, and TCB. Completion of the RDA tests is scheduled for 1-13-71*
A liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of halogenated terphenyl systems is being developed. A liquid-liquid chromatography system using Zipax Permaphaze (a new DuPont chromatography packing) as the stationary phase and water/methanol as the mobile phase appears to give sufficient separation to characterize the isomeric distribution of the materials. The system is being optimized for Bolvent composition and column length.
Environmental Program - U.S.
Analysis of a second set of Mississippi River fish collected above and below the WGK plant has been com pleted. The levels found in fillets from these fish ranged from 0.2 ppm to as high as 8 to 9 ppm total PCB's.
All the necessary equipment for PCB's, with the except ion of two gas meters, required to sample the Enviro-Chem St. Charles incinerator has been assembled and laboratory tested. The PCB burn is now scheduled for 12-1-70. Additionally, analysis of background samples taken at the site 10-29-70 for PCB has been completed. Low levels of apparent PCB's were observed in all cases. The PCB analysis of the JFQ September and October sewer water composites has been completed. The levels found, 77 PPb and 70 ppb respectively, were higher than in previous months.
Shrimp from Escambia Bay, fat and liver from a dead pig found near the Anniston landfill, OE plant water samples, Delaware River phthalic acid, and a U.S. Steel plant water effluent sample have also been analyzed for PCB's.

Particle size analysis by microscopy was performed on a solids sample from the Anniston limestone waste pit. Correlations are being developed between particle size of adsorbent and waste retention in the Aroclor waste treatment studies.
Aroclor 1121 and 1129 distillation fractions were anal yzed by QC for Isomer distribution to compile data for plant design.
Aroclor 5442
We recently reported tetrachlorodibenzofuran as a possi ble impurity in Aroclor 5442. Additional work has shown that this identification is not conclusive; tetraehloromethyl biphenyl might interfere with this determination. Methylblphenyl has been shown to be an impurity in the Santowax R used to make Aroclor 5442. Efforts are currently underway to develop a reliable method for distinguishing between chlorinated dlbenzofuran and chlorinated methylblphenyl.
Environmental Studies - Ruabon
Workers at the Tolworth Laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food have been studying effects of feeding Aroclor 1242 to pigeons and quail. Their analyses have indicated, what we have ourselves sus pected, that the residues tend to resemble 1254/1260. Discussion with Bailey and Bunyan from this laboratory shows that they now believe that Aroclor 1242 may be a major source of the environmental pollution. They have also "discovered" that reproducing paper of the no carbon type is a potent source of Aroclor 1242 and, although they have not published this information yet, they may wish to do so as an explanation of the presence of PCB in cardboard. Feeding trials using single isomers are also planned by the Tolworth group, who are hoping
to establish metabolic routes for the degradation of PCB's in animal organs. A visit was made to the Monks
Wood Experimental Station of the Nature Conservancy, but little new information emerged from the discussion.
Biodegradation - Ruabon
TRAN 039085
It has been confirmed that 2,3,2', 3', 4', 5'-hexachlorobiphenyl is degraded by Cg when mixed with lower chlorine isomers. This has been achieved under less vigorous conditions of flask shaking than previously,
which suggests that the addition of the lower chlorine Isomers has Increased the solubility of the material.
We are currently studying a pentachloro-biphenyl. which should degrade, and the 4,4'-dichlorobiphenyl, which should be resistant, using a similar technique to im-

prove solubility. The analytical results are awaited on these tests.
The results of degrading a series of PCB products with C2 until no further change with time can be observed are now available. Subject to limitations imposed by the difficulties of interpretation of the GLC chromato grams it appears that the order of degradability, or the inverse order of apparent residues, is as follows:
MCS 1016, MCS 717, MCS 762, Pyralene 1500, Aroclor 1242
Satisfactory progress in the identification of Isomers corresponding to the peaks obtained using high select ivity PLOT columns is reported, but development work is still needed on GLS - Mass before this can be util ized.
The most recent results on attempts to degrade HB-40 by Co have shown that at low concentrations (5 ppm) con siderable degradation has occurred. The main problem in this investigation has been that of sensitivity in the analysis, but this problem now seems to be overcome.
Pydraul Reformulation

MCS 1063 demonstrated good lubricity In a V105C pump test. The moderate wear noted was attributed to high TAN Krumtnrich CDP. This fluid also exhibited low deposits in the Alcor Deposition test. .
Pydraul A-200B
A lower viscosity F-9A type blend was blended, tested and a tentative process issued to fill an order from
Chevy Messena. They refused to purchase any more fluid containing PCB's.
A VI03C pump test was terminated at 225 hours due to mechanical failure of the pump. A lobe craoked off of the rotor. This is considered to be a mechanical failure and not fluid related. The test will be repeated Just to make certain, though. The wear observed up to 225 hours was very low (11.B mg total) and no problems
are expected.
Carbon Adsorption Study
The pilot unit (series of four five-inch diameter columns), that was put on stream 10/2, continues to operate with minimum difficulties.* The initial flow of 2 gpm/ft2 was increased to 4 gpm/ft2 on 10/28. Effluent quality, at the present flow, is <10 ppb Aroclor for influent con centrations in the range 100-2,000 ppb. The present plan is to increase the flow to 6 gpm/ft2 by II/25.

PCB Levels In Sewer
Aroclor losses during November averaged 25#/day (4620 ppb). One high value accounted for l8#/dav, neglecting this the ' November average would be 7#/day (1410 ppb). Based on
knowledge of plant operations and performance of abatement
devices in November, much of the high level data Is due to sample contamination.
Spills
Minor leaks were contained by use of sand and disposal in drums. No spills occurred.
Projects and Evaluations
1. Laboratory work to date Indicates the presence of minimal
amounts of PCB in the residue from Solid Aroclor distil
lation (Montar 5). This eliminates 10M pounds per year or solid wastes from our PCB disposal plan.
2. Design work to collect spent carbon from HC1 carbon
towers has been deferred to early 1971 to accomplish the No. 1 HC1 Limestone Pit rebuild.
3. Solids removal from plant effluent (part of program to reduce PCB in plant effluent to 10 ppb) Is moving forward with preliminary screening tests at Denver Equip ment Company and Betz Laboratories indicating good to moderate success with flocculation and settling. Fur ther laboratory testing is scheduled for early December.
A project has been written, design is underway and equip ment modifications under study working with Monsanto Biodize to set up one of their clarifiers at Anniston
for pilot scale testing of the apparent best techniques recommended by Denver and/or Betz.
4. A successful test was made of removal of limestone inerts
from the #2 HC1 neutralization pit while in operation. A total weight of 127,000 lbs was removed of which 365S by weight was solids. Lab analysis of the total material revealed more than 100,000 ppb Aroclor or 12 to 15 lbs of Aroclor. Present Indications are that this method of removal of solids while the pit is in operation will increase the efficient life of the pit by 25.
5. A project for repair of the No. 1 HC1 neutralization
pit was written and approved. This project will be
coordinated with the Niran pit project to apply an
asphalt lining at the same time, to save money on mater
ials.

INTRODUCTION
Aroclor 6057 is a special blend of Aroclor 5460 and Aroclor 1221 to give an absolute viscosity at 75-80 F. equal to that of Aroclor 1242. This formulation was developed to replace Aroclor 1242 in an automatic transmission fluid additive formulation (Radiator Specialty Company).
SYNOPSIS OF PROCESS
Aroclor 6057 is prepared by blending Aroclor 5460 and Aroclor 1221.' The blended product is filtered to remove any stray debris from raw materials or blending and is transferred to containers or storage.

PROCESS IN DETAIL
The blending operation may be carried out in any suitable metal or glass-lined vessel. The materials are not corrosive and carbon steel equipment is suitable. An agitator should be provided.
Order of addition is not critical and will be determined by the physical state of Aroclor 5460 and operating convenience. If 5460 18 already In the molten state, it may be added first, then Aroclor 1221. If in the solid, flaked state, the Aroclor 5^60 should be added to the Aroclor 1221 heel. In both cases the lowest viscosity and consequent minimum agitator power requirements will be obtained by adding the Aroclor 1221 fol lowed by Aroclor 5460.
After the ingredients are combined, agitation should continue 1/2 to 1 hour or until an homogeneous mixture is obtained. It is suggested that the batch be warmed only enough in the 75-150F. range (25-65C.) to insure adequate mixing.
The completed batch is then circulated through a polishing filter (cellulosic string wound filter cartridges of 50 micron nominal rating are sufficient or use filtration normally used in Aroclor production). Samples are taken as required for analytical and control purposes. The batch may be held for possible viscoelty adjustment or sent to storage. After blend ing, the temperature may be reduced to 75-150F.
DISCUSSION OF IMPORTANT VARIABLES
The most important specification property of Aroclor 6057 is viscosity. Adjustments in the blend should be made to keep the 100F. viscosity within the required range.
If the 100F. viscosity is low, add Aroclor 5460. One pound of 5460 per 100 pounds of mixture will increase the 100*F. viscosity about 1.2 cs.
If the 100F. viscosity is high, add Aroclor 1221. One pound of 1221 per 100 pounds of mixture will decrease the 100F. viscosity about 1.2 cs.

ANALYTICAL METHODS
No new or special analytical procedures are required for this product. A cross reference table appears in the Appendix listing standard analytical procedures used at J. F. Oueeny Plant, W. 0. Krummrich Plant, and the Anniston Plant. These procedures are currently used on Bimilar products.
TOXICITY AND HAZARDS
No unusual toxicity or hazards are expected with the raw materials or finished blend. The process is a simple blend
ing procedure and no hazardous reactions or heats of mixing Bhould occur between the components.
Aroelor 1221 and 5460 have been produced by Monsanto for many years. Recently these have been combined in such products as Aroelor 6040, a substitute for Aroelor 1242 in plasticizer
applications. (Note: Current specific toxicity information

Oeneral precautions include the following:
1. (Joggles should be worn where splashing or spillage may occur,
2. Any material In contact with the skin should be removed by washing with soap and water.
3. Prolonged or repeated exposure to the skin may cause Irritation due to removal of skin oils with resulting dryness and chapping.
4. Material may be irritating to sensitive skin areas and eyeB. In case of contact with eye tissue, flush copiously with water and then get medical attention.
5. In case of internal ingestion, get immediate medical attention.
6. Avoid inhaling volation material or mists.
POLLUTION CONTROL
No waste by-products are generated by this process. Used filtering material, flushings from the system during cleaning, as well as any spoiled product should be disposed of as dictated by local regulations.
Every effort should be made to prevent chlorinated biphenyl or chlorinated terphenyl from being mixed with water and drained to the sewer. Non-aqueous solvents should be used to clean the blending tanks and eaulpment. Suggested fire resistant solvents are trichloroethylene or trichlorobenzene.
Minimum or no equipment cleanout would be needed if production 1b scheduled to have blends with similar components before and after Pydraul 6037# le. 6o4o or MCS 1004.
Vapor generation should be reduced by limiting the heating of the blend and raw materials to as low a value as possible consistent with practical blending requirements.
'Solids containing the chlorinated biphenyl or chlorinated terphenyl (filter) must be disposed of at an appropriate land fill. Burning of these materials should be avoided at this time. When suitable high temperature incineration equipment is available, which will completely decompose such materials, burning will be an acceptable method of disposal.

It has been suggested that specifications be set for Aroclor 1016 to be produced by Monsanto as a replacement for Aroclor 1242.
The guiding principles to be used in setting the specifications for Aroclor
1016 are as follows: The electrical specifications, specifications for
appearance, color, acidity, water content, inorganic chlorides, sulfates,
and stability will be the same as those for Aroclor 1242. Specifications
for properties such as pour point, viscosity,specific gravity, refractive
index, distillation range and fixed chlorine content will be changed to
compensate for the higher homologs removed.
,
One new specification must be added. That is penta and hexachlorobiphenyl content. This is essential because our reason for producing Aroclor 1016 is to produce a product with a minimum content of higher homologs which are more persistent in the environment.
The ratio of penta and hexa content in Aroclor 1242 to that of Aroclor 1016 is our one readily quantifiable measure of the improvement achieved by going to Aroclor 1016. The penta and hexa content of Aroclor 1242 ranges from 6 to 7.2%. That for Aroclor 1016 produced so far has been less than 0.3%. On this basis, Aroclor 1016 can be said to be about 20 times better than Aroclor 1242.
The suggested specification for penta and hexa homologs is 0.4% max. to have some margin for analytical error and less efficient operation in the plant than in the pilot plant.

One other change is suggested. Current specifications call for a dielectric constanUof 4. 7 to 4. 9 measured at 1000 H* and 100C and power factor
of 5.0% measured at 60 Hz and 100C. It Is suggested that the dielectric
constant be det ermined at 60 Hz and 100C so that measurements will not have to be made at two frequencies. The dielectric constant does not change with frequency in this range so the specification range will not change. The 1000 Hz power factor is often too low to measure accurately and should therefore be omitted as a specification.
The attached table compares the proposed specifications for Aroclor 1016 with the current specifications for Aroclor 1242. These specifications for Aroclor 1016 are proposed to serve as a starting point for develop ment of final specifications acceptable to all interested groups in Monsanto and to our customers. Your comments are invited.

To keep the record straight on chlorinated products in Pydraul products. Specialty Products first removed Aroclor 1248, 125** and 1260 as agreed with management In 1970. We believed these were the non-degrading products being found in the environment. Research next developed formulations to remove all chlorinated biphenyls from Pydrauls, feeling this would be a desirable step. (Exceptions were Turbinol 155 and Pydraul being sold in Germany where we could not pass the fire tests.)
Management agreed to remove chlorinated biphenyls from Pydraul in 1971. The list of present Pydraul products is given on page 2 and 3 of the attached. The "book" assembled by 0. DeGarmo omitted several reformulations, Pydraul A-20OB, Pydraul 5**0B, which eliminated the use of Aroclor 1242.
Research and Marketing are now trying to prepare for the replacement of PCT, should this become desirable. Key products are NCP and NaCP plus certain VI improvers which are required. We need project approvals for changes in EE-Bldg, plus successful trial production this month on NCP.
I hope you approve of the efforts we have made and are mak ing to control chlorinated components, phosphate ester toxicity, fire resistance and to maintain continued customer service for Pydraul fluids.

Performance against tha PCS plan was reviewed with the CMC on September 14. Overall the committee was satis fied with the progress which has been made and compli mented the various departments in the Division who have been involved in the action. However, it was emphasised that we must continue to emphasise to all remaining users of PCS' the importance of preventing escape to the environment and we must ensure that these warnings are fully documented so that they will support the action we have taken in this area should we become involved in legal actions.
Two variances from the original plan were requested and approved:
1. 1CH - As the customer has proved unwilling to com mit himself to a take or pay contract, it was agreed that we can go ahead on the basis of pro ducing HXFB in existing equipment or using toll manufacturing facilities ensuring that a satis factory level of profitability is maintained. The eephasls here was to phase 1242 out of HOT formulations as soon as possible.
2. It was recognised that good progress is being made in reformulating lndustrial/nydraullc fluids and that it was not easy to completely replaoe PCB's with alternate material. In view of the progress made, an extension of a further three months (l.e. end first quarter 1971) waa granted to enable

us to reformulate those produets still containing Aroclor 1242. It was emphasized, however, that
this would he the last extension granted and if
we are not successful in reformulating, it will be necessary to discontinue the business in spite of the significant gross profit involved.
Preparations are underway to test the disposal of solid waste contaminated with Aroclors in Biviro-Chea Systems pilot unit in St. Charles, Mo. Solid wastes from transformer and capacitor manufactures will be intro duced into the unit during the week of October 12.
Negotiations are continuing with Rollins-Purle, Inc. to establish their capabilities and cost of incineration of liquid Aroclor waste.
MAHXETINO;
The withdrawal of Aroclor plasticizers from the market appears to have been completed with very few loose ends.
Only a couple of companies have called claiming that
they had not heard of our withdrawal, and to date these inquiries have not caused any significant problems. Our distributors are well on their way to zero inventories of the Aroclors, having pretty well matched their pur chases from Monsanto with firm orders from their cus tomers. It does not appear that there will be any extensive returning of unsold materials.
Orders for the products which will replace the withdrawn Aroclors in the market are starting to come in. It will be several months before substantial volumes are be ing sold, however, as most companies have some inven tory of the old products in stock. Two major items of information indicate that the replacement program is progressing well. The first is that 3M has replaced
Aroclors 1254 and 4465 with Aroclor 5442 in five
product lines in the Industrial Tape and Hectro Products Division. The second is that Thiokol states that Santiciser 261 now has the inside track ahead of all ether products including chlorinated paraffins as a
replacement for Aroclors 1254 and 1260.

Aroclor Distillation - CIA 2^17 Definitive design is in progress. Because of recent decisions by Corporate and Division Management, market ing forecasts for MCS 1016 have been reduced. Accord ingly, elements of the project are being reviewed with the idea of reducing the scope of work. Tributyl Phosphate - CIA 8371 The project scope report is being reviewed by the plant. The II building explosion and subsequent related work has delayed this plant review, a preliminary estimate has been developed. Timing of the project has become critical so pre-approval funds will be requested for engineering and commitment of long-delivery equipment. N-C Phosphate Although Research has had success in bench scale oper ation, it has been decided to prove out the process in the 1-1 building at JPQ. Thus, the latest schedule for having process assurance is March 1971. Project development will not be resumed until after the process is proven. STROP 1: An informal setting was held with the Directors of some of the voluntary societies, e.g. British Trust, for Ornothology, and they expressed considerable satisfaction at the responsible attitude adopted by Monsanto in Northern America and the U.X. The N.l.R.C. REPORT on the Irish Sea incident is now expected to be published November/December. We have been promised a copy of the latest draft. further contact with the other European manufacturers has not yet yielded agreement on when or how to act and it has not yet been possible to arrange a decision making meeting with them.

The latest status reports on the dog and rat chronic feeding studies, rat reproduction studies and chicken toxicity, reproduction and residue studies were re viewed with representatives of the National Institute of Bivironmental Health Sciences, Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Laboratory, Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center.
PUBLIC RELATIONS
The July news release, stating our position to withdraw from certain PCS markets, was used in whole or in part by 13 more major newspapers. Total to date is 22. As the month closed, plant management at Pensacola spec ulated Monsanto may be sued by the Southeast Fisheries Association, Inc. for polluting Escambia Bay with PCS. At this writing, the suit has not been filed. A pre paredness statement was drafted for use by the Plant Manager, should a suit develop.
RESEARCH:
Carbonless Carbon Paper Solvents
NCR now seems more committed to MIP8-2 as replacement for Aroclor 1242. It appears that an additional 100,000 lbs will be required for full scale trial with a "firm" answer expected late 1970 or early 1971.
Assistance has been provided the plant in preparing for the upcoming run of MIPS. An amendment was written to allow the manufacture of a MIPS containing higher (1.5 vs. 0.6) ratios of propylene to biphenyl. The most recent information indicates that this higher ratio material will not be needed by NCR.
Manufacturing is searching for a location to make larger quantities of MIP8.
Nashus likes a blend of Aroclor 5442/HB-40-1/4 as a dye solvent even though its viscosity is shove their "upper limit". Three more blends are being tent them to help sero in on the proper ratio.

Print fad* on Nashua Clay coated paper la caus*d by light (as with NCR paper) but not by excess solvent. Use of a resin or rubber to extract excess solvent (beneficial in NCR paper) is harmful in the Nashua system.
Hydrogenation of the aliphatic double bond in AMS Dimer (liquid) eliminates most of the odor and reduced print fade, making this a very good hydrocarbon solvent.
Acute toxicity tests show the mono and dichlorlnated AMS Dimer to be comparable to Aroclors of corresponding viscosities. The solid and liquid AMS Dimers and iso propyl biphenyl like KB-40 are "practically non-toxic" (or safe) but are noticeably more irritating to rabbit skin. Twenty four hour patch tests on on* person showed no irritation from any of these materials.
Industrial Hydraulics
The removal of Aroclor 1242 from all Pydrauls will require reformulation of A-200, 261, 540, 312, 230, 135. 150, MCS 153 and MCS 974. The Pydraul 312 reformulation is farthest along. Tire resistance of the new formulation is greater than the fire resistance of Pydraul 312. Performance in the V-105C was excellent. Samples were sent to Ford for evaluation.
It will be desirable to make the hydraulic fluid applica tion into a closed loop system. VC cannot expect to stop leaks but we can expect to minimize contamination of water by (1) minimizing run-off to sewers; (2) treating con taminated water by adsorption (Anniston had no detectable PCS after passing through a limestone bed); (3) recycling adsorbents to remove Aroclor by squeezing, by extraction or by devolatilization-destruction.
Aroclor Pollution Study - Anniston
In the 13 day pilot run, initial concentrations of 1000 8000 ppb Aroclor in waste water were reduced to a range of 0-15.ppb upon passing through a series of packed carbon beds1 at an average flow rat* of 25 ee/mln. Over 99% of Aroclor removal occurred in the prefilter. This unusual reduction is believed to be due to the filtration of solid on idiich Aroclor was adsorbed. In tests run at higher flow rates (0.5 gpev/ft.2) through the prefilter, these plugged the prefilter. The study is presently being divided into two phases: 1) feasibility studies for continuous solids (with Aroclor) removal from limestone pit effluent and 2) carbon adsorption from the clear stream at the Aroclor sump;

Determination of Polychlorinated Biphenyl Residues In Rats from 36 day Aroclor feeding Studies
One of the more significant objectives of the AroclorBivironment program has been to develop a more complete picture of what occurs to Aroclor products once they are released to the ecosystem. The importance of this infor mation is two fold, first it can be used to guide the development of a more "degradable" Aroclor product and . secondly, the general methods developed to study the current Aroclor products can be used to determine the degree of control that must be exercised over the replace ment products to avoid similar problems with these mater ials in the future.
As a part of achieving this overall objective. Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories was requested to carry out a 30 day tissue collection study in albino rats with Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1254 and Aroclor 1260. This report deals with the subsequent analysis of these tissues for residual PCB'a.
Summary: The results of this study demonstrate that the residual PCB levels in all tissues decreased significantly as the degree of chlorination and the dietary exposure level of the material fed decreased. Additionally, it was observed that the amount of Isomeric alteration increased as the degree of chlorination decreased re sulting in the fact that the major P isomers retained by the rats fed Aroclor 1242 were those predominantly present in Aroclor 1254 and Aroclor 1260. There were no significant differences in the type of isomeric alteration from tissue to tissue or between sexes.
Aroclor - Bwironmental Program - it. Louis
Preliminary testing by the national Hater Quality Labora tory at Duluth, Minnesota of the tolerance of fish and fistfood organisms (survival and reproduction) to our Aroclor products has indicated that Aroclor 5442 is much more toxic to Saphnia than any of the P's. Eleven reserve samples of production Aroclor 5442, one of which was used in test, have been received from Anniston to determine if

any water soluble tramp component(s) could be responsible for the alleged Increased toxicity. Initial results Indicate that the pH of the water used to extract and/or solubilise the Aroclor 442 is not changed; however, a
number of SC active components can be Isolated from the water extracts via a hexane extraction. An attempt will be made to identify these components.
A meeting was held to review the status of the residue analysis of the Bio-Test Laboratories tissues. It was
agreed that the work should proceed and that in terms of current priorities the tissues from the chronic rat study should be done first, followed by the fish toxicity study, and then by the chronic chicken study. Provisions have been made for shipment of the rat tissues and fish samples to Monsanto.
Arrangements have also been made to have aa?lee of fish
from the semi-annual Anniston area survey and samples of
shrimp from three locations around our Pensacola collected,
quick frosen and shipped to St. Louie for confirmatory
residue analysis.

Plasticisers
A three-day sampling of the IS-40 and mono-isopropyl bi phenyl (MIPD) semi-continuous activated sludge units nine weeks after the previous saapling period has shown sig nificant changes in the biodegradation rates, for MIPS, disappearance rates for the three days by TJV analyses were 75 70 and 77 per cent compared with the mean of 67 per cent In the previous sampling period. OC analyses indicate that the predominant mono-isopropyl biphenyl eonponents are almost eospletely degraded during the cycle, leaving as the undegraded portion the dialkylated coaponents. For HB-40, the previous sampling period had shown essentially a sero disappearance rate with a high degree of scatter. During the three-day period, dis appearance rates of 54, 52 and 58 per cent were found. Prom OC analyses, it appears that the one-ring hydrogenated components are more readily degradable than the tworing hydrogenated coaponents.
Feeding of the MUB and EB-40 is continuing. An additional sampling period is planned to determine if any further significant changes will occur.
Five additional units are now being added to our setup to permit simultaneous testing of a greater number of products. Testing of Aroclor 1221 will be started in one of the new units.
Biodegradation Testing - Ruabon
In the presence of lower chlorine isomers and biphenyl we appear to have succeeded in degrading the key hexachlorlnated isomer with the biphenyl-active soil culture Cg, but the penta-chlorlnated Isomer has not degraded under these conditions. Work ia being initiated to check whether any of the "non-degred*ble" Isomers (e.g. 4-4'dlchlorblphenyl) can be degraded under these more severe conditions.
The sensitivity of the analytical technique used was not high enough to show conclusively Aether HB-40 was de graded by C. This is being repeated using a higher con centration.
Progress continues in the development of OLC-Mass Spect rometry techniques to allow identification and quantifi cation of residues remaining after prolonged biodegradation tests on various products.

FCB Levels In Snow Creek
Average FCB loss for the month was high at 2600 ppb or 32 lbs/day, largely as a result of one very bad day (400 lbs). Contributing causes were:
1. The old limestone pit was overloaded and solid
sludges were carried through,
#
2. Detergent cleaning of the department,
3. Sewering of excessive amounts of muriatic acid.
Since the new limestone bed was placed in service on

September 23, pit effluent has been at 0-3 ppb FOB'S.
However, leaehing of FOB'S from the creek bed results in a
plant effluent level of 90 - 240ppb or 1.1 - 2.8 lbs/day,
gradually declining. The plant believes that the new pit
can handle ordinary upsets and peak loads.

Telephone contact continued with the Alabama Water Improvement
Commission. However, a planned meeting did not take place
due to illness of AWIC members. Pressure for routine submission of analytical data la not intense at this time.

The Situation
In the past, our major strength in the industrial hydraulio fluids business was our low cost chlorinated raw materials giving superior fire resistance to our fluids. These same materials had good solubility with oil snd allowed us to formulate the Pydraul 312 series. The result was a very real and sizeable competitive advantage in terms of both quality and price over other synthetic fire resistant fluids.
Our position is changing. We cannot use either polychlor
inated biphenyls or polychlorinated terphenyls. This leaves us with s line of resale water glycol fluids (available now), a atraight phosphate ester (available
shortly), and a lower cost oil-phosphate ester blend promised for the first quarter of 1972. In terms of
quality, we will have the advantages of greater stability and the fact that we are not tied to cresyllc
acids. In terms of cost, none of these new products will give us any significant advantage over our competitors.
In addition, the changeover (the second in a year) will create an adverse affect, particularly on our major customers, of whloh the top five account for 42 of our business and the top 20 of which account for 6o.
This means that when the transition has been completed, we could be left with considerably less market share than we now have, with 111 will at certain customers and potential accounts, and with no cost advantage to regain our position. Our sales growth in the future will not be
as steep as our tales growth in the past, and our bate will be leas.
Objective
Our objective in this transition program simply stated is to be out of PCBe/PCTs by June 30, 1972. to salvage aa large a share of the market as possible at a profit, and to be left with aero inventory of our current fluids. We expect to keep at least 5# of our business, -but we must take several steps as quickly as possible in order to
achieve this.
WATER PCB-SD0000023826
alone accounts for 1B% of our business. Vt must
move immediately to convert 0. H. to our phosphate eater
fluid. The
Division, which is over half of
the . business and which will probably determine
what course
takes, has told us that they will
drain and flush all PCB containing fluids froa their
aohines and refill with a new product. We will try to
sell then our phosphate eater fluid at Hat prloe and
charge fully for incineration of the old fluid. If
necessary to salvage the bueinaee, we will eapltulate on
1nolneration and give eotae price conoeaelon on initial
fill. In return, we will ask for a three year supply
period to recover our eoete.
We will not sell a low price phosphate eater as a
replacement for A200B. If
goes to the
phosphate ester and if we sell a low priced phosphate
ester to one location. we sight be forced to sell it to
all of them. Due to the large chare of our total business
that
represents, selling to then at t low price
would undernlne the profitability of our total Pydraul
program. In addition, due to their else, it is possible
that such a nova would deteriorate the pricing of the
phosphate eaters at all accounts.
Is having difficulty with the State of
Illlnola because of too high phenollee discharge in their
effluent. However, they appear to be sold on the nost
fire rasletant synthetic fluid, which means phosphate
esters, and all phosphate ester fluids will erests
phenolic* in their effluent. We have gone to then and
suggested they move to our straight phosphate eater to
avoid fCB problems and that they solve their phenolic*
problen with treatment of their effluent. In terms of
pricing and incineration, we will handle them In the seme
way ns
and, if necessary, make the same
concessions.
g^ek PsM
This should be i check point in our plan. If either are lost, we should re
evaluate our situation and decide again how best to proceed.
TRAN 002493
WATER PCB-SD0000023827

Selector I Accounts After testing the water with
and as soon as sufficient phosphate ester becomes - available, we will move to convert all Selector Z
accounts to straight phosphate ester*. Selector IX Accounts We will proceed at onoe to develop, test and get Factory Mutual approval on a line of truly fire resistant oil/ phosphate ester fluid*. As soon as the development Job is done and as soon as phosphite ester for these fluids becomes available, we will begin converting all Seleotor II acoounts to these new products. It may be necessary to ratsa prices on these fluids depending on the amount of phosphate ester necessary to give adequate fire resistance. Reclamation We should move now to work with Flndett Service Co. on reclamation of the Fydraul fluids. This means quoting. In conjunction with Flndett, for reclamation business wherever we can be competitive. If it turns out that due to geography we cannot be competitive in conjunction with Flndett in all locations, we will establish relation ships with other reclaimers In those locales.
Note that reclamation ultimately could have a negative affeot on our volume of new fluid sales. Alia along with our lots of business during the transition must be taken into consideration when planning the capacity of our new phosphate ester plant. Vital 89 True Fluids Withdrawal of current Fydraul 312A type fluids from the market and Introducing replacement fluids at hlghar prices say force customers to go to either hitter priced phos phate eater fluids, inferior quality water glycol fluids, or the Vital 29/Daseo 300 type fluids which, in our opinion, are not fir resistant. To eombat this, once we determine
TRAN 002494
WATER PCB-SD0000023828

whether the phosphite ester content of our replacement
fluid Is significantly higher than Vital 29. ve should go'Immediately to Factory Mutual, explain tne situation on the fir# resistance of these fluids and ask for
Factory Mutual's position. Xn sny case, we should call this question of fire resistance to Factory Mutual's attention when they cose to it. Louis to test and approve our Seleotor ZZ fluids. If they remove their approval, that should solve the problem. If not and If Vital 29 does start picking up business, we will develop a fluid in direct competition with Vital 29 and Dasoo 300.
Customer Notification
On April 15. 1971 we sent out a letter to the Pydreul
Bailing list nayings "User are now no PCBe in any of
our Pydraul fluids. This letter la not true and has
irritated the -----
Division of

probably anyone else who knows that It Is not true. Ve

stating that the letter was somewhat in error and giving
the* the facts on the PCB contamination. If possible, we
can temper this with our plans for future fluids. However,
getting the Information to our customers before they get
this information from our competitors should be our
primary consideration.
Field Salee/Product group Relationship
Major aooounta where the Product Group may directly assist In conversion are listed In Appendix H. Current opinion Is that all other accounts can be handled directly by the Field Salesmen (assuming we do have Seleotor ZZ replace
ments ).
To help prepare the salesmen for this transition, a meeting will be held in St. Louis which will focus on strategic
salesmen and their managers who will be In attendance. At the meeting we will lay out for then why we must reformulate, the reasons we will give the customer, replacement products
with prloes and benefits relative to our old products and competition, pollution aspects of PCBs, PCTa, and phosphate eatere with a discussion of phanollcs, 1.0.D. and C.O.D., and oil contamination, and the legal aspects of our situation. Vo will leave them with a "Transition Handbook".
Also at this meeting we will specifically define who will handle what aeoounte, the order in which they will be handled, and the timing.
