Ethanol storage for hand sanitizer/mouthwash processing
Ethanol storage for hand sanitizer/mouthwash processing
(OP)
Good day, ladies and gents.
I'm currently working on bid tendering for an ethanol storage vessel(aboveground, vertical) whose contents will be used to produce hand sanitizer gels, mouthwash, etc.
To what standard should the ethanol tank be produced? To be 3-A or EHEDG compliant, e.g. no crevices, all welded joints, minimum surface roughness, etc.? Or can the tank be constructed as for a non-food-grade application?

You'll probably have to worry about explosion proof design as well. There are a number of NFPA standards in addition to the NEC that may apply.
