b'PIPELINE EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDELINESEthanol (DOT ERG 127)Ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol, is a colorless liquid that is widely used as an https://vimeo.com/429247018 additive to automotive gasoline.It may be transported in buried transmission pipelines.Indications of a LeakThe pooling of liquid on the groundAn odor like petroleum liquids or gasolineAn area of dead vegetationHazards of a ReleaseHighly flammable and easily ignited by heat or sparksVapors are heavier than air and will collect in low areasContact with skin may cause burns, injury, or frostbiteFire may produce irritating and/or toxic gasesRunoff may cause pollutionVapors may form an explosive mixture with airHydrogen Gas (DOT ERG 115)Hydrogen gas is commonly produced from the steam reforming of natural gas. It is frequently used near its production site, with the two main uses https://vimeo.com/430827187 being petrochemical processing and ammonia production. It is a flammable gas that is colorless, odorless and lighter than air. It is nontoxic, but can act as a simple asphyxiant in confined spaces. Hydrogen is normally transported between industrial facilities as a gas. Indications of a LeakA hissing or whistling noiseAn unusual area of melted snow in the winterAn area of dead vegetationBubbling in pools of waterHazards of a ReleaseHighly flammable and easily ignited by heat or sparksWill displace oxygen and can cause asphyxiationFire may produce irritating and/or toxic gasesVapors may form an explosive mixture with airVapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warningIs lighter than air and can migrate into enclosed spaces16 2020 by Pipeline Association for Public AwarenessPERG 2020 Final.indd 16 8/5/20 4:17 PM'
