1. Apparatus for dispensing environmentally-clean dry powder chemical material on flammable hydrocarbon liquid for absorbing the flammable hydrocarbon liquid, inhibiting fire ignition of the absorbed flammable hydrocarbon liquid and/or extinguishing an active fire involving the absorbed flammable hydrocarbon liquid, said apparatus comprising:
a container, storing a quantity of environmentally-clean dry powder chemical material, wherein said environmentally-clean dry powder chemical material consists of components comprising
a major amount of tripotassium citrate (TPC) powder,
a major amount of liquid hydrocarbon sorbent powder material having oleophilic/hydrophobic absorption properties, and
a minor amount of powder fluidizing agent for promoting said tripotassium citrate powder and liquid hydrocarbon sorbent powder material to flow like a fluid during application,
wherein each said component is mixed, blended and milled into said environmentally-clean dry powder chemical material stored in said container; and
an applicator in fluid communication with said container, for applying said environmentally-clean dry powder chemical material over flammable hydrocarbon liquid for absorbing the flammable hydrocarbon liquid, and inhibiting fire ignition of the flammable hydrocarbon liquid, and/or extinguishing an active fire involving the absorbed flammable hydrocarbon liquid.
