Ameropa AG, Binningen, Switzerland, has announced the resignation of Nick Adamchak as managing director of Ameropa North America. The company said he has chosen to step down from his position but will continue to be associated with the company as a non-executive director on the board of Ameropa North America.
Rick Sompel has been appointed as Ameropa North America managing director, effective immediately, and will be relocating to Tampa, Fla. Prior to joining Ameropa, he was most recently director, business development, CF Industries Holdings Inc.
Ameropa said that as one of the industry’s few global fertilizer traders, it remains committed to the North American fertilizer market, and it will continue to be an integral part of the company’s global fertilizer program.
Mosheim, Tenn.—U.S. Nitrogen Co. LLC was granted a five-year extension of its existing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit on Oct. 3 by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. This follows a public hearing held June 9 (GM June 17, p. 14) and a comment period through July 25. TDEC said it has determined that the activity will not cause degradation above a de minimis level of an Exceptional Tennessee Water. USN is allowed to use two 12-mile pipelines to pump up to 1.9 million gallons per day of water from the Nolichucky River and send 500,000 gallons back to the river. Opponents have argued that the USN plant has not even become operational, yet it is getting a five-year extension of its permit to send wastewater to the Nolichucky River. And since USN recently sent a large plume of orange emissions into the air due to startup malfunctions (GM Sept. 2, p. 13), they are less confident of its wastewater. They have 30 days to lodge an appeal.
LSB Industries Inc. said Oct. 5 that planned and unexpected turnarounds during the third quarter will negatively impact EBITDA by some $25-$26.5 million. The turnarounds occurred at three plants – Cherokee, Ala., Pryor, Okla., and El Dorado, Ark. LSB said they resulted in lost production, lost fixed-cost absorption, and repair expenses.
“Our third-quarter 2016 results will reflect the impact of planned and unplanned maintenance activities at our three primary chemical facilities,” said Dan Greenwell, LSB president and CEO. “While the reduced production associated with the various unplanned outages during the quarter will collectively serve to bring our results in below our expectations for the period, importantly, our main focus has been on proactively identifying and completing the repairs and upgrades necessary to position LSB to deliver significantly improved financial performance in 2017. We are confident that the recent work that we have done at Cherokee, Pryor, and El Dorado, and over the past year, will yield improving on-stream rates, translating into greater revenue and EBITDA in the coming quarters.”
At Cherokee, although a scheduled bi-annual turnaround was completed Aug. 19, during startup a head gasket failure required repairs, reducing ammonia capacity to 340 st/d. It returned to nameplate capacity of 510 st/d Sept. 22. The impact on EBITDA was $4.0-$4.5 million.
The Pryor plant went down for a planned turnaround Aug. 26, and the company opted to keep it down longer for additional work on the ammonia and urea plants. As a result, the ammonia and nitric acid plants are now not due up until Oct. 10 and urea Oct. 15. LSB said the turnaround reduced ammonia and UAN production. EBITDA is expected to be impacted by $7-$7.5 million.
The El Dorado plant returned to production July 31 after being down two weeks due to a lightning strike. However, the ammonia plant was taken down for a total of 18 days over the course of the third quarter to address heat exchanger tube leaks and to make modifications to the process vent system design to improve safety and reliability. The ammonia plant has now had continuous operation since Sept. 22. EBITDA impact is put at $14-$14.5 million.
Despite the unplanned downtime, LSB was able to satisfy customer commitments during the third quarter by utilizing product from inventory. It said this inventory would have otherwise been sold during the fourth quarter of 2016. Management believes the impact to fourth-quarter 2016 EBITDA resulting from lower sales from lower beginning inventory, reduced production, related lost fixed-cost absorption, and repair expense will be in the range of $5-$5.5 million.
LSB has also revised its previously disclosed outlook for full-year 2016 Chemical Business sales volumes.
U.S. Gulf: New granular prompt trades moved up last week to $187-$195/st FOB. The higher price was a bit of an outlier, with most sources reporting in the low-to-mid part of the range. While this was a spike in prices compared to the week-ago $181-$187/st FOB, some sources thought the uptick, while predicted based on higher Indian numbers, had lost its steam.
Prills edged up to $205-$207/st FOB, with sellers quoting $210/st FOB for the next trade.
U.S. urea imports were off 56 percent in August, to 239,471 st from the year-ago 541,032 st. They were down 61 percent for July-August, to 436,630 st from 1.11 million st.
U.S. urea exports were up 209 percent in July-August, to 52,898 st from the year-ago 17,105 st.
Eastern Cornbelt: The granular urea market was quoted at $217-$230/st FOB in the Eastern Cornbelt, depending on location. Sources pegged the Cincinnati, Ohio, market at $217-$225/st FOB, while pricing out of Illinois terminals was generally reported in the $225-$230/st FOB range in early October.
Western Cornbelt: Granular urea pricing remained at $215-$225/st FOB in the Western Cornbelt.
Northern Plains: The granular urea market remained at $220/st FOB the Twin Cities. Delivered tons in the Dakotas were quoted in a broad range at $230-$255/st, depending on source and destination, with the FOB Carrington, N.D., market pegged at the $240/st level in early October.
Northeast: Granular urea pricing was pegged at $230-$235/st FOB in the Northeast, with the upper end quoted out of the East Liverpool, Ohio, market.
Eastern Canada: The granular urea market remained at $340-$360/mt FOB in Eastern Canada, depending on location.
India: Sources said India will need to look for November and December tenders to fill out the annual needs for urea. The most recent tender brought in about 900,000 mt, leaving the country short about 1.5 million tons.
Once the last of the MMTC tons are loaded by Nov. 5, sources expect to see another tender called. One trader speculated that the tender may even be called by the end of this month.
The purchases by MMTC helped provide a floor for prices. Arab Gulf producers have now upped their asking price to $200/mt FOB, with some buyers seriously considering the offers. The Indian purchases removed the excess tonnage from producers’ warehouses, said sources. As a result, those same producers can ask more for their product – at least for now.
Sources said, however, that by the time the next Indian tender rolls around, prices will waiver and soften from current asking prices. No one is predicting a major drop in prices, but a downward drift is expected.
So far this year, urea sales are down compared to the same period last year. The decline comes even as the government reports more land dedicated to agriculture. Sources said efforts to encourage farmers toward a more balanced nutrient regime, along with increased use of neem-coated urea, has meant farmers have taken less urea. Neem coating, which allows for a slower nutrient release, is required for all domestically produced urea. Government figures put the year-on-year decline at 8.8 percent.
Efforts to depend less on import tenders for urea are leading companies to consider plans to either build new urea plants in India, refurbish shuttered plants, or build plants in countries with cheaper inputs, such as Iran.
The latest announcement came when RCF, GSDC, and FALAT announced a partnership to build a 1.3 million mt/y plant in Iran. The announcement comes on the heels of RCF saying it will expand an existing plant in Maharashtra using gasified coal as an input.
Pakistan: The Economic Coordination Committee of the national government announced a reduction in the price of imported urea to RS1,200/50 kg bag, or RS24,000/mt (US$229-$230/mt). Bags were previously RS1,310
The price drop came in an effort to clear out surpluses of imported product. The government reported this week that TCP imported about 1.9 million tons in the 2015/16 fiscal year. Government figures also reported that offtake for the first eight months of this year is off 16 percent compared to the same period last year.
Domestic production kicked up this year after the government released more natural gas to the urea factories. Producers had long argued that their capacity was sufficient to meet domestic demand if they were provided the gas. The diversion took place to ensure enough natural gas for residential use during winter months.
In the end, the government estimates that the country will end the year with a surplus of 1 million tons.
Middle East: The Indian MMTC tender helped soak up the reserves in the Arab Gulf. Sources said producers can now honestly say they are sold out for October. The results give producers the opportunity to now call for higher prices.
Sources said traders shopping around the Arab Gulf looking for tons are being told that the bottom price producers will accept is $200/mt FOB. Reportedly, all bids in the $190s/mt FOB were rejected by producers. Sources said at least one cargo out of Oman was picked up at $200/mt FOB this week. Rumors of a second cargo also circulated, giving strength to reports of stronger prices.
While bids from Brazil are reportedly up a bit, as are last-minute bids from Australia, sources said finding a home for product at $200/mt FOB and up will be difficult.
Offering prices are expected to remain up for October and early November shipments. Once the next Indian tender is called, however, producers may once again be willing to sacrifice a few dollars in exchange for large sales.
Iran continues to be a popular location for countries looking to expand dedicated urea production. A consortium of companies from India is looking at building a urea facility in Iran. Likewise, Bangladesh is looking to set up a joint-venture facility in the industrial area near Chabahar port. The Bangladesh inquiry came as the country’s industries minister was visiting Iran.
Egypt was able to move its price up a tick as traders covered more short deals for Europe. Sources reported that $200/mt FOB was concluded as the week wound down.
Indonesia: Kaltim sold a couple of granular cargoes at $200/mt FOB. Sources reported that Ameropa and Gavilon each took at least 30,000 mt. The final destinations for the cargoes was rumored to be Chile or Australia.
The sales confirm previous reports that the Indonesian suppliers had accepted lower prices after holding out for $210/mt FOB and higher.
The sales also confirmed a further blurring of the price difference between prills and granular. Producers had argued only prills would be sold at the $200/mt FOB level, with granular tons going for a few dollars more.
China: All inquiries into China went unanswered this week as the country celebrated its founding. The government provides a week off – known as Golden Week – for major events such as the Lunar New Year and the founding of the country.
Sources said once everyone is back at work next week, the industry will be looking more closely at the urea reserves in the Chinese ports in an effort to secure a deal that might work in the next Indian tender.
Expectations are that Chinese producers will try to follow the slight upward wave in prices and reach for the $200/mt FOB level. However, sources reported that some small cargoes of 5,000-10,000 mt were sold at $193-$195/mt FOB.
Black Sea: The OPZ plant came back online this week after an extended turnaround, leading industry watchers to speculate that prices could once again come off.
The price had moved up on sales to Turkey, with sources reporting deals with netbacks at $190/mt FOB earlier this week. One trader said the price was able to move as it did because of the combination of the support prices received from the Indian tender and the closed OPZ operation.
Yara North America reported on Oct. 6 that it has received the first dry bulk cargo of urea at its new terminal in West Sacramento, Calif. The company said outbound urea shipments at the facility are scheduled to start on Oct. 12, while liquid UAN service at the site has been in operation since March 2016.
Yara acquired the West Sacramento facility in December 2015 from Agrium Inc. for $27 million (GM Dec. 7, 2015), and has invested an additional US$4.5 million to convert the former UAN production site into a “state-of-the-art” import terminal for finished products. Yara said the West Sacramento terminal will be a major hub for the California and Pacific Northwest markets and complements the company’s existing California assets, which include terminals at Stockton, San Diego, and Port Hueneme.
“We are very happy to see the progress made at this site, which fully complies with Yara’s high standards of safety and efficiency, while strengthening our commitment to the growers and retailers in this very important agricultural market,” said Steve Rodgers, acting president of Yara North America.
Yara said it has achieved “significant synergies” in operations, logistics, and market coverage since integrating the West Sacramento facility into its North American business. At the time of the acquisition last December, Yara said the terminal would provide greater market access while also increasing the company’s storage capacity, improving customer service, reducing truck transit times, conserving fuel, and enhancing overall logistical efficiencies.
The West Sacramento site has already been audited by ResponsibleAg (GM Sept. 9, p. 14), with certification expected to be issued by the end of 2016. Yara said it is committed to having all its North American facilities enrolled and compliant under ResponsibleAg.
Yara’s presence in Sacramento marks a return of the company to that location. Yara let its original lease at Sacramento lapse in 2009 after it completed a major $21 million upgrade at the Port of Stockton (GM Feb. 25, 2008), where it added approximately 80,000 mt of dry storage to an existing liquid capacity of 125,000 mt.
Prior to Yara’s acquisition of the facility, Agrium had used the West Sacramento site to produce UAN before announcing in April 2015 (GM April 27, 2015) that it intended to sell the site and exit the local UAN market, although it retains a nitrogen fertilizer plant in Kennewick, Wash. Agrium acquired the West Sacramento site in 2000 with the purchase of the fertilizer assets of Unocal Corp. (GM Oct. 9, 2000).
Waco, Texas—Judge Jim Meyer of Waco’s 170th District Court has ordered the owner of West Fertilizer Co. to turn over phone records to the other defendants in the multi-party litigation stemming from the April 2013 ammonium nitrate blast in West, Texas. According to the Waco Tribune-Herald, Meyer issued a ruling on Sept. 22 that Adair Grain Co. must surrender phone records to defendants CF Industries, El Dorado Chemical Co., Thermaclime Inc., and International Chemical Co. (InterChem), who are suggesting Adair may have started the fire intentionally because of financial troubles. The third trial in the case is now scheduled for Jan. 9, 2017, after defense attorneys argued for a delay following the May 11 (GM May 13, p. 1) announcement by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that the cause of the fire that triggered the blast was “incendiary” and “a criminal act.” Out-of-court settlements were reached in the first West trial in October 2015 (GM Oct. 19, 2015), and again in the second trial in late January 2016. The total list of plaintiffs in the complex litigation originally numbered about 200 and included the families of firefighters killed in the blast, residents who sustained injuries, property and business owners who suffered damages, and insurance companies who have filed subrogation claims seeking to recoup funds they have paid out. Attorneys for Adair argued that the business was in good financial shape and there was no good-faith basis for the phone records request, but litigators for the fertilizer companies claimed Adair had inadequate assets to secure loans and was informed by bankers less than a week before the fire that it was to be audited. Adair is also named as a defendant in the case, and had earlier filed a counterclaim (GM May 19, 2014) seeking damages from the other fertilizer company defendants, but reportedly withdrew that claim in September.
U.S. Gulf: The Corps reported project delays at Industrial Lock, which has been closed for dewatering and repair operations since Aug. 1. Originally scheduled to reopen on Nov. 27, the estimated completion date has now been pushed back to Dec. 5, shippers said. Sources attributed the delays to high water levels at the lock.
Shippers reported an end to width restrictions in Baptiste Collette Bayou, part of the official detour route during the Industrial Lock closure. Dredging previously restricted tows to 75 feet or less.
Dredging and debris removal at the West Canal’s Galveston Causeway Railroad Bridge interrupted navigation from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily. The work is being conducted on a 12-days on, two-days off pattern, allowing navigation to proceed unfettered overnight and during nonworking hours.
Algiers Lock navigation delays were estimated at up to three hours.
Lower Mississippi River: Stack Island dike work, which began on Sept. 26 and is scheduled to continue through Feb. 10, will likely cause transit delays and towing restrictions in the Lake Providence area, shippers said. Currently, the Corps is asking vessels to proceed at their “slowest safe speed” through the vicinity.
Upper Mississippi River: Transit slowdowns and run restrictions continued due to high water levels. Conditions were improving, however.
The National Weather Service reported flooding at Hannibal, Mo., with levels holding at 19.69 feet on Oct. 5, higher than the 16-foot flood stage. Elevated flows in the St. Louis area led the Corps to limit southbound tows to 20 barges or fewer on a boat-by-boat basis. High water and missing buoys reported between Cairo and Cape Girardeau triggered daylight-only navigation restrictions on that stretch of river.
With the Upper Mississippi River’s seasonal close fast approaching, some sources cited an Oct. 15 hard cutoff for northbound barges to release from lower river locations. Sept. 28 was the cutoff for Upper River-bound barges loading at NOLA. For NOLA barges with final destinations between Clayton, Iowa, and Quincy, Ill., tows were expected to release by Oct. 5.
Illinois River: Peoria Lock and Dam resumed locking last week. Shippers called wait times 2-5 hours at the lock.
Ohio River: Delays continued at Lock 52 due to an ongoing equipment malfunction. Waits were pushed to 15 hours or more for the week, with at least 18 vessels queued to lock on Oct. 5, according to Corps data. Sources believed repairs were on hold until river levels rise to the point where wickets can be lowered, after which 72-96 hours are needed to complete repairs.
Montgomery Lock main chamber work limited transit to overnight hours, subject to an 80-foot width restriction. Use of the main chamber is available between midnight and 8:00 a.m. through Nov. 17. Daytime locking is possible via the auxiliary chamber, but service is limited to a single barge per turn. The Corps issued plans to open the main chamber on Oct. 15-16 and Oct. 29-30 to clear waiting traffic. Shippers put average Montgomery Lock wait times at three hours for the week.
Intermittent delays began at the Tennessee River’s Kentucky Lock on Oct. 4, shippers noted. Upstream guide wall repairs are projected to force sporadic service outages through Oct. 9, after which the lock with undergo a full shutdown on Oct. 9-13. Intermittent closures are scheduled to resume Oct. 19 through Nov. 19. Vessels are asked to detour via Barkley Canal.
The Monongahela River’s Braddock Lock and Dam continues to operate without the use of its river chamber, shippers said. An unspecified mechanical failure has forced vessels to detour through the site’s land chamber.
The Allegheny River is closed at Lock 6 due to a hydraulic leak and mechanical failure. No timeline for repairs was available on Oct. 5.
U.S. Gulf: Sulfuric acid delivered by vessel to the Gulf of Mexico was called flat at $45-$50/mt CFR last week, although some argued that those numbers were too high.
Most traced recent price ideas to offers from Northwest European smelters in the $10-$15/mt FOB range. “We’ve been told they’re essentially sold out through October,” said one trader. Market bears claimed the market’s supposed supply tightness was exaggerated, however, arguing that tons could be acquired at an approximate $10/mt FOB discount to current offers.
Cargoes destined for Brazil were described at $45-$55/mt CFR, while observers put the Chilean market at $55-$65/mt CFR.
Domestic sales were reported in the $105-$115/mt range for acid delivered to the West Coast, unchanged from the previous report. Tons headed for the Gulf market from U.S. producers commanded $90-$95/mt DEL, while Midwest material was quoted at $80-$90/mt DEL, unmoved from the week before.
U.S. Imports: August imports were down 24 percent, to 318,100 st from 416,345 st. July-August imports were down 11 percent, to 648,861 st from 729,750 st.
Tampa: Observers and market players stuck to previously-voiced expectations for the fourth-quarter contract price of molten sulfur delivered to Tampa. Most speculation centered on a rollover from the $65/lt DEL third-quarter contract, although there were exceptions.
Those expecting a rollover pointed to a combination of balanced-to-long domestic supply, a relatively static Gulf export market, and price uncertainty regarding the importation of solid sulfur tons into Tampa.
Strengthening in a number of international markets, including market-movers China and the Middle East, led some to argue for possible domestic increases at home. “China will trickle down (to Tampa),” one observer remarked. “Tampa has traditionally followed international pricing, which is up a bit,” said another.
For the shorter-term, some turned an eye toward Hurricane Matthew’s potential effect on the market. The hit to logistics was of particular concern. “Railroads are already beginning to embargo parts of the region in advance,” said one contact. “It’s possible that a large (area) of sulfur demand could be impacted.
No details were offered regarding settlement talks themselves, which were reported to have begun in the previous week. The third-quarter Tampa contract was valued at $65/lt DEL.
Domestic utilization took another tumble last week, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), who reported the refining sector’s fourth consecutive period of declining run rates. Capacity was calculated at 88.3 percent for the week ending Sept. 30, a 1.8 percent decline from the prior week’s 90.1 percent and also trailing the 88.5 percent five-year average, but slightly ahead of the year-ago 87.5 percent.
Daily crude inputs slipped as well. Refiners processed an average 16.032 million barrels/d for the week, a 302,000 barrel/d drop from the previous week’s 16.334 million barrels/d.
U.S. Gulf: A spate of refinery turnarounds has contributed to Gulf export market firming, sources speculated.
Among those believed to be operating at reduced capacity was Motiva Enterprises’ 603,000 barrel/d Port Arthur, Texas, refinery, where a $250 million overhaul was expected to take the unit’s 60,000 barrel/d hydrocracker offline this week.
Motiva has previously hinted at long-term plans to increase Port Arthur’s capacity to 1 million barrels/d, although no timeline for such an expansion has been announced. Jointly owned by Saudi Aramco and Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Motiva is expected to be dissolved in first-quarter 2017.
Price ideas for Gulf formed sulfur were quoted in the $65-$70/mt FOB range, unmoved from the previous report.
U.S. Imports: August imports were down 39 percent, to 94,489 st from 155,876 st. July-August were off 35 percent, to 177,004 st down from 270,830 st.
Vancouver: Vancouver traders put last-done sales in the $65-$70/mt FOB range. The market remained unchanged despite recent firming reported in the Chinese import market, quoted at $88-$90/mt FOB. The lack of trickle-down to the Canadian offshore market served to further illustrate Vancouver’s reduced dependence on China, some claimed.
Meanwhile, sellers said Chinese activity remained essentially on hold due to the national Golden Week holiday. Business is projected to resume around Oct. 10.
Alberta sulfur pricing was steady at (-)$55-$20/mt.
West Coast: Fourth-quarter contract negotiations for the price of molten sulfur from the West Coast were underway last week, sources said. Predictions generally centered on a rollover or slight increase from the $50-$75/lt FOB third-quarter range.
West Coast prills were called flat at $60-$65/mt FOB.
ADNOC: The Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC) announced plans to merge its two largest offshore oil operations last week. Zakum Development Co. (Zadco) and Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Co. (Adma-Opco) account for most of ADNOC’s approximately 1.7 million barrel/d offshore production capacity. Total ADNOC capacity stands at 3.1 million barrels/d, observers estimated.
ADNOC formed sulfur was offered at $77/mt FOB Ruwais for September.
Aramco: Sources believed Saudi Arabia’s 400,000 barrel/d Samref refinery continued to operate at full capacity despite rumored mechanical issues. Sources said the speculation has focused on the facility’s 155,000 barrel/d vacuum distillation unit.
Observers welcomed Aramco plans to release detailed, “industry-friendly” financial reports for the 2015-2017 fiscal years ahead of a planned 2018 IPO. Aramco is expected to offer shares amounting to a $2 trillion valuation, leapfrogging $600 billion Apple Inc. as the world’s most valuable company.
Traders described Aramco as “sold out” of sulfur for September and October. Aramco’s September prill price was $74/mt FOB Jubail, an $8/mt increase from the $66/mt FOB August price.
Although major Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina fertilizer producers reported that they were taking precautions related to Hurricane Matthew, no planned closures were announced. Those contacted included The Mosaic Co., Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc., and Fibrant.
Mosaic said Oct. 6 that it has implemented a hurricane preparation plan for all of its Florida facilities, noting that a Tropical Storm Warning was issued for Polk County, with anywhere from 4-7 inches of rain expected.
Mosaic reiterated that its recovery well at the New Wales sinkhole is currently maintaining a pumping rate of 3,500 gallons per minute, and back-up generators are onsite in case of a power outage. The pumping rate is not expected to be impacted by the weather.
“We are confident that any rainwater that mixes with the water we are recovering from the sinkhole will be recovered throughout normal recovery operations,” said Will Precourt, Mosaic senior vice president, Phosphates. Testing of neighboring wells, however, will not occur Oct. 7 due to the weather.
Mosaic posted a letter in local Florida newspapers Oct. 2 from Precourt updating the community on the sinkhole and saying that so far over 260 well test results show that neighboring water wells are within the health-based drinking water standards established by EPA and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. He also said that its own groundwater monitoring shows that there have been no offsite impacts as a result of the sinkhole.
Mosaic also released a geology fact sheet saying that the water underneath the site moves at only about 500 feet per month, meaning that even without any pumping on Mosaic’s part, it would take more than two years for the water to move just to the western edge of its New Wales property boundary. However, Mosaic is removing the water from the affected area to the surface via a recovery well, saying this well acts essentially like a straw in the aquifer, recovering all the slow-moving impacted water back to the surface.
“Sinkholes are a naturally occurring part of the geology in Florida, and we are working with experts to develop a plan to plug the sinkhole, which will likely include the use of concrete-like grout to seal the pathway that opened in the aquifer,” said Precourt. The company has estimated the cost to fix the sinkhole could reach $50 million.
Precourt said until the sinkhole is sealed, it will continue to provide updates to the community. As of Oct. 6, the company said some 930 well tests have been scheduled and 452 sites visited or sampled, and there have been 600 requests for bottled water.
In the meantime, both analysts and environmentalists have suggested that the sinkhole may spur increased scrutiny of any Mosaic expansion plans going forward.
In other news, a mysterious envelope containing a powdery substance was discovered at Mosaic’s Lithia, Fla., offices Sept. 30. However, by late Oct. 6, the FBI told the Tampa Bay Times that the substance tested non-threatening.
