Please find attached a copy of the article highlighting the hazards of exposure to asbestos. I would like to request an Engineering study to determine the feasibility of eliminating the use of asbestos at. Chocolate Bayou. The most frequent use of this material in our plant is:
1. Ethylene Furnaces - Weber #48 - contains asbestos used between brick and roof of Ethylene furnaces. Mixed up like mortar and sets up hard; Installed by J. W. Leavesley.
2. Insulation used in the plant
1. Thermo-Bestos .... Contains asbestos 2. Kaylo .............................. Contains asbestos 3. Mono-block ................. Does not contain asbestos 4. Carey-temp ................. Does not contain asbestos
The Thermo and Kaylo are used for hot service (high temperatures) and all fittings no matter if temperature is hot or ambient, due to the crumbling characteristics of the Mono and Carey. It is also used on straight runs sometimes due to the same problem.
If there is any assistance our group can furnish, please let me know.
