1、Designation:E 1117 97Standard Practice forDesign of Fuel-Alcohol Manufacturing Facilities1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1117;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number i
2、n parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice shall apply to all fuel alcohol manufactur-ing facilities(FAMF)as defined in Terminology E 1705.Thisspecification is primarily inten
3、ded for,but not exclusivelylimited to fermentation ethanol processes.1.2 This practice applies to both batch and continuousFAMF systems.Since a wide variety of equipment configura-tions can exist,this engineering practice will describe thenecessary general requirements common to all FAMF facili-ties
4、.1.3 This practice is to be used in conjunction with appli-cable local,state,and Federal codes for designing,construct-ing,and operating FAMF facilities.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 This standard does
