Understanding Ethanol



This training course is about understanding ethanol and its physical and chemical characteristics, manufacturing processes and hazards and firefighter response to ethanol emergencies in transportation and at fixed facilities.  Ethanol in the context of this course will be denatured ethanol manufactured and used for use as a motor fuel and motor fuel additive.  In order to form a comparison with ethanol we will first look at more common motor fuels.  Gasoline and diesel fuel, hydrocarbon products refined from crude oil have been the primary motor fuels for over 100 years.  Both are flammable and have physical and chemical characteristics that make them hazardous in use, storage and transportation.  They are classified by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) as Class 3 Flammable Liquids and are marked with red placards and labels.  Both gasoline and diesel fuel have hazardous characteristics.  While ethanol is in the same hazard class as gasoline and diesel fuel, during this course we will discover that the concepts of polarity and miscibility are one of the primary differences.

BEFORE AN EMERGENCY – BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THIS GUIDEBOOK!   In the U.S., according to the requirements of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, 29 CFR 1910.120), and regulations issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, 40 CFR Part 311), first responders must be trained regarding the use of this guidebook.  This training course full fills this requirement.


ERG 2008 Training CD provides an in depth look at the United States Department of Transportration (DOT) Emergency Response Guide Book(ERG).  The ERG is designed to aid first responders to a hazardous materials or terrorist incident during the initial stages of the response prior to the arrival of the hazardous materials team.  The course breaks down the ERG into units with an activity at the end of each unit.  The course is designed to get the students into the ERG under controlled circumstances to become familiar with it and how it is used before an actual hazardous materials or terrorist incident occurs.  Slides include photographs, graphics of pages from the guide book and step by step layout of the 2008 Emergency Response Guide Book.
