Combustible Dust: Safety and Injury Prevention Instructors Manual. Available at www.osha.gov/Publications/osha3132.html. Prohibited practices in grain storage bins or areas include:standing in flowing grain in silos, or on bridged grain in silos, standing next to a grain mass in a storage pile, or standing next to large piles of grain (III.D). Specific examples of hazardous activities involving workers include (OSHA, 2010): The aforementioned scenarios are extremely dangerous because workers simply cannot extricate themselves after being engulfed in grain. The secondary explosion may cause more damage than the primary explosion because they may be fueled by larger amounts and higher concentrations of dispersed dusts (OSHA, 2008a). Approximate Heating Value of Common Fuels. Ensuring that appropriate ventilation systems are installed and function properly. Mills coarsely grind the softened corn kernels in order to separate the oil-rich germ from the steeped kernels. Other safety measures include ethanol vapor detectors and automatic fire detection and suppression systems. [OSHA] Occupational Safety & Health Administration. Myers, P.E. Oxygen, air, or steam can be used as a gasifying agent. Chemical Process Safety: Learning from Case Histories. Phase 2: Evaluations of Field Samples and Laboratory Blends. 2011e. Use proper ventilation. DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. Through OSHA's Alliance Program, this Fact Sheet was developed as a product of the OSHA and Safe Tank Alliance for informational purposes only. Ethanol Strengthens the Link Between Agriculture and Energy Markets. Corn Wet Milling. Typically, aboveground gasoline/ethanol storage tanks are "confined spaces" with limited entry through "manways" (relatively small openings in the side or top of the tank). Découvrez le travail de Baptiste Pagani à travers notre interview et une sélection de planches et illustrations originales de son nouvel album « Les Lames dâAshura », exposées en ligne et à la galerie Achetez de l’Art du 29 janvier au 13 février 2021 ! Different strains of yeast are used to convert the glucose and simple sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide. Secondary explosions may occur when additional dust gets lofted into the air following an initial incident, providing the fuel necessary for multiple additional explosions throughout a facility. Cellulase breaks the cellulose down into glucose, and other simple sugars are also formed. Cellulose is the primary component of plant cell walls and the most common organic compound on earth (RFA, 2011c). Pedestrian and motor vehicle routes not clearly demarcated. The purpose of steeping is to soften the corn kernels for subsequent processing. 1996. OSHA's Lockout/Tagout fact sheet describes the practices and procedures necessary to disable machinery or equipment to prevent the release of hazardous energy. Workers at ethanol manufacturing facilities are potentially exposed to various air contaminants, depending on the processes with which they are involved. One of the manhole covers in the absorption column was apparently open and flammable alcohol vapors escaped and exploded. Most corn wet-milling facilities in the United States will have some of the following operations to process co-products: The principal hazards in ethanol manufacturing are associated with processing dry feedstocks and handling ethanol; therefore, ethanol manufacturing facilities combine some of the attributes of grain handling facilities and chemical processing facilities. Grain unloading areas: enclosing pneumatic blowers in booths or separating them from work areas. Chemical Process in Corn Dry-Milling, Figure II.7.1 General Overview of the Corn Dry-Milling Process, Figure II.8.1 Flow Diagram of Corn Dry-Milling Process (NREL, 2000). Ethanol manufacturing facilities have numerous unit operations that employees must enter for cleaning, inspection, and maintenance purposes. Following catalysis, the mixed alcohols are depressurized and then dehydrated with vapor-phase molecular sieves. However, corn dry-milling facilities will not necessarily employ every one of these steps in the order shown, and some facilities may use different terminology when referring to these processing steps. (OSHA IMIS Inspection #305030181 and #305030207). Most corn dry-milling facilities have at least two types of distillation columns (Figure II.13): beer columns and rectifying columns. 2010-149. In liquefaction, the fine corn flour is mixed with water in large cookers (e.g., a steam injection heater called a jet-cooker) or slurry tanks. Includes various requirements to ensure that all workers have a safe means of egress from facilities during fires, explosions, and other emergencies. If hazardous substances (e.g., anhydrous ammonia, ethanol, gasoline, sulfuric acid) released during ruptures are not controlled and contained this may result in fires, explosions, and workers' exposure to hazardous air contaminants. Storrs, CT: University of Connecticut. The hierarchy of controls, with an arrow going from top to bottom, is: Engineering controls, Safe Work Practices, Administrative Controls, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), This section reviews some safety measures that could be implemented to prevent workers exposure to the hazards that were discussed in Section III (IAFC, 2008). Use of a conventional vacuum cleaner that is not dust ignition proof (that is not rated Class II electrical equipment). Hood, E. 2004. Additional information about the facility can be obtained on the OSHA website, if it has an OSHA Establishment History. Industry Guide 40.

Available at www.distillersgrains.org/files/grains/k.davis--dry&wetmillprocessing.pdf. 2011f. Used to treat starch suspension to produce modified starches and sweeteners. Steeping is often operated as a "continuous-batch" process, so that multiple steep tanks are connected in series and operated by the counterflow principle. Yeast is added to the mixture to help convert glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide. Available at www.1011now.com/news/headlines/40849542.html. In addition to ethanol, these facilities process and handle many other hazardous chemicals (III.F), but usually in much lower quantities. Installing and monitoring a Lightning Early Warning system. Completed Investigations. Includes information on environmental laws that apply when constructing or modifying an ethanol plant. Sources of information on past incidents in the ethanol industry include: OSHA IMIS accident investigation summaries, the media, and trade association publications (e.g., Jessen, 2011a). Manage the use of buildings intended for occupancy as an integral part of the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of a facility. Different gasifier designs have different advantages and disadvantages–such as cost, tar yield, sensitivity to moisture, and volume potential–and may be better suited to some feedstocks more than others. Corn kernels are added to large tanks of water containing sulfur dioxide; this softens the kernels and begins to separate their constituents. Inform contract employers of the known potential fire, explosion, or toxic release hazards related to the contractor's work and the process. Piping systems (including piping components such as valves); Controls (including monitoring devices and sensors, alarms, and interlocks); and. [OSHA] Occupational Safety & Health Administration. For example, when there are pesticides or fumigants used in the workplace that can penetrate the skin, only trained workers using clean, well-maintained PPE (e.g., protective clothing, gloves) resistant to the chemical's penetration can be allowed to handle the pesticides or fumigants. However, confined space work, such as grain bin entry, that is regulated by 29 CFR 1910.272, is not subject to the provisions of 29 CFR 1910.146, as long as the provisions of 29 CFR 1910.272 protect workers against all the hazards within the grain bins (OSHA Letter of Interpretation: Questions regarding the PRCS standard, 1910.146, and the Grain Handling standard, 1910.272. For ethanol fires, the ethanol vapor represents the "fuel" in the fire triangle; oxygen is the "oxidizing agent;" and, the "heat" component comes from ignition sources that cause the ethanol vapor to first burn. With this arrangement, upstream production never needs to halt between batches. Operating procedures must be readily accessible to workers who work in or maintain a process (29 CFR 1910.119(f)(2)). Installing temperature sensors and other related controls like belt alignment on bearings. Between 2000 and 2010, the number of ethanol manufacturing facilities in the U.S. nearly quadrupled. Available at www.nfpa.org. From 2000 to 2010, total U.S. ethanol production increased from 1.63 billion gallons a year to 13.3 billion gallons a year. Grain dusts (e.g., from corn, wheat, sorghum), which are present in every load of grain received at typical dry and wet milling operations. 1996. Bardon, and M. LaViolette. Requires administrative and engineering controls to prevent engulfment hazards and fire and explosion hazards from combustible dusts. Employers must provide workers with hearing protection devices whenever noise exposure levels equal or exceed OSHA's specification (. Examples include: gathering process safety information, conducting process hazard analyses, implementing operating practices and procedures, managing change, and assessing mechanical integrity of process equipment. [NREL] National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Similarly, stored flammable liquids in containers, including cans, barrels and drums are exempt from coverage by the PSM standard. Improper installation of explosion vent panel near work platform. Safety measures include automatic suppression systems that detect pressure rises in the equipment (Figure II.18) and inject inert materials to suppress an explosion; explosion relief venting that detects a rise in pressure and opens to vent heated gases outside (NFPA 69); dust tight equipment design; automatic system to detect sparks and smoldering materials, for example, in the ductwork on the outlet of unit operations suspected of causing sparks or smoldering; and, a control system for maintaining the dryer's temperature within prescribed limits. Available at www.nclabor.com/osha/etta/indguide/ig43.pdf. The concentrated steeping liquor is then added to the fibrous milling residue produced by fiber separation. Available at www.nfpa.org. The corn may also pass through a destoner, which separates objects based on weight and can be used to remove heavier objects (e.g., stones, glass) from the process stream. Some syrup is crystallized to form solid sugars. The CSHO will conduct the closing conference with the employer's management representative and the workers union representative (if applicable). Implement the same precautions as for dryers in VI.B.1.ix above. An Experimental and Modeling Study of the Flammability of Fuel Tank Headspace Vapors from High Ethanol Content Fuels. Grain elevators: using quieter and/or low speed/high volume conveyor equipment, shutting off conveyor equipment when not in use, minimizing the use of compressed air. There is no permit process for entering confined spaces with hazards in the work place. To bypass the challenges associated with preparing cellulosic feedstocks for fermentation, other researchers are working on a radically different approach: harnessing the thermochemical gasification process originally developed to convert coal to liquid fuels. 2003. 2008. [NFPA] National Fire Protection Association. Permissible Exposure Limits Annotated Tables. Some of the hazards that may be encountered in certain areas of the facility are summarized in this section. Available at www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=INTERPRETATIONS&p_id=22405. Ethanol synthesis leads to ethanol and co-products. NFPA 68: Standard on Explosion Protection by Deflagration Venting, 2007 edition. Barrett, M.J. Delwiche, and P. Stroeve. Where engineering controls are not feasible, or do not completely eliminate or reduce workers exposure to permissible levels, other safety measures must be implemented; these include (in order of precedence) safe work practices, administrative controls (e.g., rotation of workers), and PPE (OSHA Hazard Prevention and Controls). Brazil, the world's second-largest producer of ethanol, used sugarcane to produce 6.9 billion gallons of ethanol in 2010 (RFA, 2011a). General planning guide for construction and development. Thus, any of the cellulosic feedstocks described previously (e.g., corn stover, wood residues) could be implemented in this process. Provides requirements for storage containers, ventilation near flammable liquids, control of ignition sources, and housekeeping and maintenance. Figure II.5.1 Various Uses of Corn (EPA, 1995). The gases are typically removed in an acid gas scrubber or absorber column using physical or chemical solvents. While not yet in commercial use in the U.S., other feedstocks can also be utilized for ethanol production. Equipment deficiencies outside the acceptable limits defined by the process safety information must be corrected before further use. OSHA Fact Sheet. [NFPA] National Fire Protection Association. In these areas (II.B.1.ii) screeners and scalpers (Figure II.10) are designed to remove oversized objects and finer material (e.g., dusts) from shelled corn. The enzyme that breaks down cellulose, known as cellulase, can either be purchased from commercial suppliers or produced and harvested on site. 2005. Most facilities have numerous tanks dedicated to fermentation and they typically operate in groups of three: while one tank is being filled, another is fermenting, and the third is emptying and made ready for filling. Engineering controls include: Information on the hazards of the highly hazardous chemicals in the process must consist of at least the following: Information on the technology of the process must include at least the following: Where the original technical information no longer exists, such information may be developed in conjunction with the process hazard analysis in sufficient detail to support the analysis. From that stage, one arrow diverges to become liquid and solid co-products, and another continues to ethanol synthesis. Refer to sections III and IV for a more detailed discussion of the hazards and safety measures respectively. Post a copy of the permit at the job site. Available at http://epure.org. - Reduce incoming feedstock size and moisture content to meet the requirements of the gasification system, - Thermally decompose processed feedstock in high-temperature fixed bed or fluidized bed reactors, Tar reformation, cleanup, and conditioning, - Use multiple separation processes to remove impurities (e.g., tar, ammonia) from syngas and to condition syngas for further processing, - Use a metallic catalyst to convert syngas constituents to mixed alcohols in a fixed bed reactor, - Separate condensed alcohols from unconverted syngas and recycle syngas to a reactor, - Use multiple separation processes to separate methanol, ethanol, and higher alcohols, - Feed syngas to bioreactor to form ethanol using certain anaerobic bacteria strains, - Remove dilute ethanol stream through a membrane, - Distill and dehydrate the liquid process stream to purify the ethanol and separate co-products, Figure II.25. The extracted gluten is a protein-rich stream that is oftentimes dried and sold as another type of animal feed (corn gluten meal). Explain to contract employers the applicable provisions of the emergency action plan. The chemical equations for the steps are as follows: (C6H10O5)n + H2O becomes C6H12O6 after adding enzymes. Many workers at ethanol manufacturing facilities, especially maintenance personnel, use a variety of hand and portable power tools, which present physical hazards. All process hazard analyses must be updated and revalidated, based on their completion date, at least every five years (29 CFR 1910.119(e)(6)). Installing automatic fire detection and suppression systems at critical points within production areas, such as tank storage areas and ethanol load-out areas. - Remove or inactivate fermentation inhibitors produced during pretreatment, - Condition stream for further processing, - Purchase cellulase from an outside vendor; or, - Operate an on-site bioreactor to produce cellulase, - Add cellulase to break cellulose into glucose and other fermentable sugars, - Direct saccharified hydrolyzate to fermentation tanks, - Add microorganisms to ferment sugars into ethanol, - Pump mixture into a continuous distillation system, - Purify ethanol stream in rectifying column, molecular sieve, and other production equipment, - Add denaturant to ethanol in cases where ethanol is not used for human consumption, - Store denatured ethanol in tanks until distribution, - Process stillage to form liquid and solid co-products for end users or for on-site energy recovery purposes, Figure II.23.

API RP 520 part (PT) I, Sizing, Selection, and Installation of Pressure-relieving Devices in Refineries Part I - Sizing and Selection – Eight Edition, 2008. Appropriate equipment for the hazards must be provided and training conducted for workers that will perform the emergency work before they respond to handle an actual release. 2011. Geddie, J.E. The internal structure of tanks can be complex, which may not be apparent from the outside. DO NOT work where the concentration of a flammable chemical is "too rich to burn". 2013. Figure II.8. OSHA standards address employers responsibilities when there is a potential for workers to be exposed to harmful concentrations of toxic and other hazardous substances in the workplace (e.g., 29 CFR 1910.1200; 29 CFR 1910.119; 29 CFR 1910.119 Appendix A; Section I). Paper presented at the Minnesota Nutrition Conference. During fermentation, microorganisms convert sugars to ethanol. US District Court Upholds OSHA Subpoena in Grain Engulfment Case. Assessment and Standards Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Washington, D.C. 29 CFR 1910.120 - Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER). A spark from nearby cutting and welding activities ignited ethanol vapor from the accidental release and caused the fire, which rapidly spread over a large area. 2 Deflagration – Is the propagation of a combustion zone at a velocity that is less than the speed of sound in the unreacted medium (NFPA 654). This table includes a permissible exposure of 90 dBA for an 8-hour TWA. Maintaining roads around the workplace in good condition. During saccharification, cellulase catalyzes the hydrolysis of cellulose into glucose. Electrical equipment and wiring used in hazardous classified locations must be of a type and design that the employer demonstrates will provide protection from the hazards arising from the flammable vapors involved (29 CFR 1910.307(c)(3)), for example, electrical design specified by and installed in accordance with the NEC. API 753 (2007 R 2012) which provides guidance for reducing the risk to personnel located in. Chemical Process During Thermochemical Conversion of Cellulosic Feedstocks. 1997. Available at http://www.theledger.com/news/20091112/bartow-ethanol-reopens-after-explosion-fire. Determine the amount and type of grain on site. Acceptable levels of these gases in the syngas vary depending on the fuel synthesis catalyst used. Figure II.12. Employers must also protect workers from exposure to benzene, an important hazardous constituent of gasoline (29 CFR 1910.1028; 29 CFR 1926.1128). After the yeast step, the result is 2C2H5OH + 2CO2. Different types of pretreatment create different types of fermentation inhibitors and require different modes of detoxification or conditioning. 1995. Implement vigorous lockout/tagout procedures (. Ethanol manufacturing facilities typically take numerous precautions to prevent ethanol fires (IV.A; IV.B), which are perhaps the most well-known occupational hazard for this industry. Four workers at an ethanol manufacturing facility suffered first- and second-degree burns after a leaking valve caused a stream of pure ethanol to pour from process equipment onto a floor, out an open door, and into a separate production area where hot work operations were taking place. Biochemical Conversion of Cellulosic Feedstocks, Figure II.24. This compliance assistance manual serves as a road map of information on federal environmental programs and federal and state agency roles. They must also ensure compliance with emergency planning requirements (V). 2014. Available at www.csb.gov/investigations. Occupational & Environmental Medicine 61(6):551-553. By generating their own power, these facilities reduce costs and emissions, and the production of high-value chemicals and animal feeds increases profitability when compared to facilities that produce fuel alone (NREL, 2009). 800-321-6742 (OSHA) The pH reduction at this stage is typically accomplished by blending in a lower pH stillage solution generated later in the process or by adding sulfuric acid. It is important to have a backup communication network in case of a power failure or if a means of communication fails. Available at www.nrel.gov/docs/fy07osti/40742.pdf. Welding, cutting, brazing, and other heating (i.e., "hot work") activities occur throughout ethanol manufacturing facilities, which increases fire risks when performed in the presence of flammable liquids (ethanol) and combustible dusts. These and other factors make fermentation much more difficult for cellulosic feedstocks compared to sugar or starch feedstocks. This method uses dilute sulfuric acid to effectively hydrolyze hemicellulose while improving enzymatic access to the cellulose. Dust clouds can be generated if equipment is not in good working order. Wastewater from the stillage and other processes undergoes aerobic and anaerobic waste treatment processes. Molecular Sieve Packed Bed Tanks. Sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Fires fueled by pure ethanol generate no visible smoke and have a blue flame that may be difficult to see. The modeling assumed that most of the methanol initially formed is separated from the product stream and recycled back to the reactor with the compressed syngas to optimize yields. The ethanol is distilled to concentrate the alcohol content, remaining water is removed via molecular sieve, and the product is denatured prior to shipment. Mosier, N.S., and K. Ileleji. Synthetic ethanol accounts for less than 10 percent of ethanol production and is used almost exclusively in industrial applications (ORNL, 2010). Formed in fermentation tanks and thermochemical conversion reactors, separated from water and other chemicals in multiple unit operations, and kept in storage tanks.
