“…Chromium, nickel content in the stainless steel supposed to act as corrosion resistance. Back then, Torres et al [27] and Hansen et al [28] outlined ethanol corrosion under 3 categories caused by water content cause, ionic impurities and polarity of ethanol molecule. Less corrosion attack because of low acid content in biodiesel also mentioned in the recent study by Gautam [29] but the fact that weight loss was detected considering brief period of 2 months under close cap room temperature, the plot suggested that corrosion could happened for all three types of metal immersed in tri-fuel emulsions.…”

Abstract. This paper presents the result of experimenting emulsified tri-fuel in term of stability, physico-chemical properties and corrosion effect on three common metals. The results were interpreted in terms of the impact of five minutes emulsification approach. Tri-fuel emulsions were varied in proportion ratio consist of biodiesel; 0%, 5%, 10%, and ethanol; 5%, 10%, 15%. Fuel characterization includes density, calorific value, flash point, and kinematic viscosity. Flash point of tri-fuel emulsion came with range catalog. Calorific value of tri-fuel emulsion appeared in declining pattern as more ethanol and biodiesel were added. Biodiesel promoted flow resistance while ethanol with opposite effect. 15% ethanol content in tri-fuel emulsion separated faster than 10% ethanol content but ethanol content with 5% yield no phase separation at all. Close cap under static immersion with various ratio of tri-fuel emulsions for over a month, corrosiveness attack was detected via weight loss technique on aluminum, stainless steel and mild steel.

“…Among the proposals of alternative fuels, the addition of ethanol in diesel oil has gained attention, being its use in diesel cycle engines stimulated (HANSEN et al, 2005). The use of ethanol, besides reducing dependence on fossil fuel, would help to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the cycle diesel engine (RAHIMI, 2009 The addition of ethanol in diesel oil causes in the latter physical and chemical changes, noticeable reduction in cetane number, viscosity, and flash point (LI et al, 2005).…”

“…In Thailand, it is used 10% ethanol in diesel oil, and in Australia, Sweden, and the USA, mixtures with 15% ethanol are used (HANSEN et al, 2005). Regarding the addition of ethanol in diesel oil, SHADIDI et al (2014) stated that it can be added up to 15% ethanol without the need for mechanical changes in the engine.…”

“…In recent years, the use of biomass as a feedstock has been key to the development of biorefineries, several of which are either built, underconstruction, or planned (Demirbas, 2009;Zhang et al, 2003). Biodiesel and bioethanol have become more attractive due to their renewable and environmental benefits (Hansen et al, 2005;Ma and Hanna, 1999).…”

The global production of bio-based chemical products, particularly biofuel products, has tremendously increased over the last decade. Driven largely by a new legislation, this increase has generated the commercialization of new products and processes. Unfortunately, alongside these developments were a significant number of accidents and explosions at biofuel facilities, entailing property damage, injury, and even deaths. The aim of this current study is to draw attention to incidents that occurred in biofuel facilities and clarify the misconceptions that cause people to ignore safety in bio-refineries. A process hazard analysis (PHA) method, namely the hazard and operability study (HAZOP), is first used in biofuel production. This method is an ethanol distillation and dehydration process. Through the HAZOP analysis, 36 recommended action items are proposed, and all recommendations are accepted. The case study reveals that potential high-level risks exist in the current biofuel process design and operating procedures, and these risks can be better controlled if they can be previously identified.
