Ethanol - Tanker Segregation
Ethanol / alcohol tanker segregation from other cargoes per IBC Code Ch. 17 and USCG compatibility chart - water-miscible, foam-breaking hazard.
Compatibility
Separate tank + double-valve segregation
Formula, assumptions, and limits
Ethanol is water-miscible - fire-foam is broken down. Alcohol-resistant foam required (AR-AFFF). Ethanol explosion range 3.3–19 % volatile, low flash (13 °C) - strict Ex zoning.
