BURNING ABSORBENT MATERIAL
WARNING: Do not burn absorbents that contain volatile liquids, such as
gasoline.
WARNING: Do not burn materials with a flash point lower than 100 degrees
Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius).
Before loading oily absorbents, load drum with a layer of new absorbent
material. They should cover the bottom of the drum and be approximately one
to three inches deep.
WARNING: Do not burn absorbents that are over-saturated with oil. Allow them
to drain. If oil liquids are present, add more absorbent material.
WARNING: Do not attempt to burn absorbents that are water-soaked, even if
they are mostly soaked with oil. Allow the water to drain away.
An ample amount of paper or cardboard must be used as starter fuel to
generate the heat required to sustain a fast, quality burn.
