Recommendations of technical specifications for ethanol and its blends (E6) and the infrastructure for their management in Mexico; Recomendaciones de especificaciones tecnicas para el etanol y sus mezclas (E6) y la infraestructura para su manejo en Mexico

Abstract

This paper describes the importance and benefits of using ethanol-gasoline blend as a substitute for pure gasoline. It presents data of global ethanol market, as well as major producers, processes involved for different raw materials and productivity indicators. It discusses the main properties to be monitored in ethanol and the importance of each one. It also examines the impact of the addition of ethanol in automotive gasoline and the influence of each property in the operation of the cars and the environment. It presents an assessment of the international specifications anhydrous ethanol used in the United States, Brazil and the European Union as well as suggestions for limits harmonization of the main parameters and methodologies, from recently published studies (White Paper-Bioetahnol Guidelines Task Force and to Ethanol from Worldwide Fuel Charter Committee). It includes the specification of Brazilian gasoline, added with 25% of ethanol (E25). It suggests an anhydrous ethanol specification and a specification for gasoline mixtures / ethanol E6 for implementation in Mexico. It presents a prioritization of laboratory testing methods for ethanol and ethanol-blended gasoline in three categories, indicating the most appropriate test to be used at different points in the distribution chain of products. It discusses the  More>>

It discusses the impact of ethanol on the distribution facilities for fuels, actions to control potential problems, selection of materials and equipment, safety procedures and presents the mixing gasoline / ethanol. It also describes the Brazilian system of production / distribution of fuels and the experience of this country to control fuel quality from the legislation. It includes a table with the top teams, their costs, Brazilian suppliers and a list of Brazilian standards for fuel storage and transport. Finally, we present some suggestions that may be important to ensure the evolution of specifications of ethanol and ethanol-blended gasoline in the course of the next few years in Mexico. [Spanish] Este documento describe la importancia y los beneficios del uso de la mezcla bioetanol-gasolina como sustituto de la gasolina pura. Presenta datos del mercado mundial de etanol, asi como de los principales productores, procesos involucrados para diferentes materias primas e indicadores de productividad. Discute las principales propiedades a ser monitoreadas en el etanol y la importancia de cada una. Tambien revisa el impacto de la adicion de etanol en las gasolinas automotrices y la influencian de cada propiedad en el funcionamiento de los automoviles y el medio ambiente. Presenta un diagnostico de las especificaciones internacionales del etanol anhidro usadas en los Estados Unidos, Brasil y la Union Europea, asi como sugerencias de armonizacion para los limites de los principales parametros y para las metodologias, a partir de estudios publicados recientemente (White Paper- Bioetahnol Task Force y Guidelines to Ethanol from Worldwide Fuel Charter Committee). Incluye la especificacion de las gasolinas brasilenas, adicionadas con un 25% de etanol (E25). Sugiere una especificacion de etanol anhidro, asi como una especificacion para mezclas gasolina/etanol E6 para su implementacion en Mexico. Presenta una priorizacion de los metodos de prueba de laboratorio para el etanol y la gasolina mezclada con etanol en tres categorias, indicando las pruebas mas adecuadas para ser usados en diferentes puntos de la cadena de distribucion de los productos. Discute el impacto del etanol en las instalaciones de distribucion de los combustibles, acciones para el control de posibles problemas, seleccion de materiales y equipamiento, presenta procedimientos de seguridad y el proceso de mezcla gasolina/etanol. Describe tambien el sistema brasileno de produccion/distribucion de combustibles y la experiencia de este pais en el control de calidad de los combustibles a partir de la legislacion vigente. Se incluye un cuadro con los principales equipos, sus costos, los proveedores brasilenos y una lista de las normas brasilenas para almacenamiento y transporte de combustibles. Finalmente, se presentan algunas sugerencias que pueden ser importantes para garantizar la evolucion de las especificaciones del etanol y gasolina mezclada con etanol en el curso de los proximos anos en Mexico.}
