Governing Standards for Ethanol / Industrial Alcohol (C₂H₅OH) Service
ASME B16.34API 607 (fire testing, mandatory ATEX areas)ISO 9001:2015FSSAI (food-grade service)ATEX 2014/34/EU
What to Avoid in Ethanol / Industrial Alcohol (C₂H₅OH) Service
- EPDM-seated valves - alcohol degrades EPDM elastomers
- Carbon steel for pharmaceutical/food-grade ethanol
Service Considerations
- ATEX Zone 1 classification in distillation areas - all valves and actuators must be ATEX certified
- Fire-safe API 607 design mandatory in production and storage areas
- Fugitive emission control (ISO 15848) for VOC compliance
- Food/pharma ethanol: SS 316L polished finish, zero dead legs, CIP-compatible
