Denatured Ethanol Maximum Fluid Velocity
Denatured Ethanol Maximum Fluid Velocity
(OP)
At an ethanol planting that is being started up, we are pumping denatured ethanol out to a barge and out to truck at 30+ fps. What is the maximum flow velocity recommended for denatured ethanol for safety reasons? Can you pump stuff as fast as you want if everything is grounded properly and you have no other problems like cavitation and errosion?
I have found documents relating to maximum fluid velocity for gasoline. Are there ones for ethanol and where can I find them?

Free fall distance through air (when filling a tank) should also be minimized. A standpipe inside the tank, with a discharge opening at the bottom, can be used as a preventive measure.

when did cross listing become the fashion, thought that was frowned on once.
