33、red fuel ethanol may contain additives, such ascorrosion inhibitors and detergents, that can affect the titratable acidity(acidity as acetic acid) of the finished denatured fuel ethanol.Although thebase fuel ethanol may meet the acidity specification, the effect of theseadditives can produce an appa

34、rent high titratable acidity of the finishedproduct. Contact the ethanol supplier if there is a question regarding thetitratable acidity of the denatured fuel ethanol to verify that the base fuelethanol meets the acidity requirements in Table 1.4.2 Other PropertiesLimits more restrictive than thoses

35、pecified above, or the specification of additional propertiessuch as color, may be agreed upon between the supplier and thepurchaser.5. Denaturants5.1 General Requirements:5.1.1 Allowable DenaturantsThe only denaturants al-lowed for the denatured fuel ethanol defined by this specifica-tion are natur

36、al gasoline, gasoline blendstocks, or unleadedgasoline. Small amounts of the same or similar hydrocarbonsabsorbed by the denatured fuel ethanol as it moves through thedistribution system is not denaturant. A jurisdiction can main-tain approved formulas to denature alcohol for fuel use. Thisspecifica

37、tion is specific to spark-ignition engine fuel. Denatur-ants that could provide satisfactory performance for other usescould cause damage to spark-ignition engines. The fuel ethanolformulas approved by the alcohol regulatory agency for fueluse could include denaturing materials which are not allowed

38、by this ASTM specification. It is the denaturers responsibilityto consult the regulations to ensure legal denaturing of the fuelethanol and to ensure compliance with this specification withregard to allowed denaturants.5.1.2 Prohibited DenaturantsThis specification prohibitsthe use of hydrocarbons w

39、ith an end boiling point higher than225 C as determined by Test Method D86, although they maybe permitted by TTB regulations. Some kerosines, for instance,promote piston scuff in automotive engines. Specific mentionmust be made of some materials that have extremely adverseeffects on fuel stability,

40、automotive engines, and fuel systems.These materials shall not be used as denaturants for fuelethanol under any circumstances. They are as follows:methanol, pyrroles, turpentine, ketones, and tars (high-molecular weight pyrolysis products of fossil or nonfossilvegetable matter). Ketone denaturants t

41、end to degrade fuelstability or increase the tendency of a gasoline-ethanol blend tocorrode metals and attack elastomers. These effects becomemore serious if the concentration of a ketone such as 4-methylpentanone (methyl isobutyl ketone) exceeds one part byvolume per 100 parts by volume of fuel eth

42、anol. There is noinformation available on the effects of denaturants other thanthose mentioned above. Therefore, the only denaturants thatshall be used are those listed in 5.1.1.5.1.3 Denaturant LevelA buyer may ask the denaturer todenature within a specific range (for example, 1.96 % to 2.5 %by vol

43、ume). A buyer may also ask the denaturer to certify therange used for the denaturant addition. A buyer or distributormay commingle receipts certified within the same range andprovide a certification of conformance with the product fromthat commingling. The blender may use this certification ofconfor

44、mance for the product to demonstrate compliance withthe denaturant limits. If the product is shipped directly from adenaturer to a blender, the initial certification from the dena-turer may be used to demonstrate compliance. Compliancewith the denaturant limit cannot be determined analytically.Compl

45、iance must be based on the information from the originaldenaturer. The limits for the denaturant addition are shown inTable 2.5.2 United States Denaturant Regulations:5.2.1 Denaturing FormulasIn the United States, ethanol isrendered unfit for beverage use by the addition of denaturantsunder formulas

46、 approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax andTrade Bureau (TTB) of the U. S. Treasury Department thatallow the denatured alcohol to ship from the denaturer free ofbeverage excise tax and to be distributed and used as a fuelcomponent without TTB permits. TTB regulations concerningthe preparation, hand

47、ling, distribution and use of denaturedethanol formulas are published in the United States Code ofFederal Regulations, Title 27, Parts 19, 20, and 21. Thedenatured fuel ethanol allowed by this specification shallcontain a minimum of 1.96 % by volume denaturant. The U. S.Environmental Protection Agen

48、cy regulations stipulate thatdenaturant added in excess of 2 % by volume shall not beconsidered when determining volumes for the purposes ofcompliance with the Renewable Fuel Standard. This absolutelimitation includes volumes for Renewable IdentificationNumber (RIN) generation and volumes for retiri

49、ng RINs. Thelimits for the denaturant addition are shown in Table 2.5.2.2 To avoid imposition of the beverage excise tax, TTBregulations require the denaturer to add specific quantities ofapproved denaturants to the ethanol prior to shipping. Thedenaturant content is determined by the ratio of metereddenaturant and ethanol volumes at the time of denaturing. TheTTB regulations stipulate the record keeping requirements forthe denaturer. These regulations include records of the quanti-ties of ethanol and denaturant added in the denaturing process.The TTB pe
