Can a gasoline tanker be used to transport methanol directly?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, will installation affect the quality of methanol?
Many tank trucks transport methanol from time to time; methanol, also known as \"industrial alcohol,\" is a colorless, volatile toxic liquid with an alcoholic odor. It is non-corrosive to metals at room temperature (except lead and aluminum), but its vapors can easily cause corrosion to the paint surface of oil tankers. But generally, it doesn’t work. Transporting methanol requires qualifications, permits, and registration with the relevant authorities
Especially the anti-corrosion coating and resin inside tend to peel off, which is quite troublesome. Moreover, the safety standards and requirements vary; after the problems that occurred in Shaanxi, the requirements became even stricter
No, in addition to the opinions mentioned above, it is also important to note that methanol is dangerous: 30 milliliters can be fatal, and 10 milliliters can cause blindness
To the person upstairs who said methanol is toxic: the toxicity of methanol is the same as that of gasoline. Is gasoline not toxic then? It’s not like drinking methanol! It’s simply ridiculous; there might be water accumulated at the bottom of the fuel tank trucks used to transport gasoline, so one needs to be aware of that
No, **the General Administration of Safety has clearly stipulated that pressure vessels must contain only substances of a single type; if mixed, it will affect the stability of the substances contained, thereby creating potential hazards.
Safety requirements apply: one product per vehicle
It can affect the quality of methanol products; moisture is one factor, and it may also influence the results of the potassium permanganate test for methanol.
It depends on how it’s used; oil might affect the production of manufacturers that work with methanol.
No! The State Administration of Work Safety requires that each vehicle carry only one type of product; especially after the particularly serious accident that occurred in the Yanhou Tunnel in Jincheng, Shanxi last year, inspections on the roads have become even stricter! Moreover, the inspection reports for tanks of various liquids are different; they must not be confused! However, in practice, many are mixed together
