Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) has declared approval for the generic use of bio isobutanol
for equipment dispensing and storage of gasoline. Producers of the product
Gevo and Butamax announced that generic use of up to 16 percent isobutanol in
UL 87A pumps is completely safe. One can find full report on this in http://greenchemicalsblog.
87A pumps with ASTM specifications can be used as new pumps
by dispensing with isobutanol blended gasoline. According to the producers of
this excellent bio fuel, for the first time UL decided to use bio isobutanol
while Gavo and Butamax were working on this project for several years.
As per the statement of the Butamax, this outstanding bio
fuel will work well for dispensing of isobutanol blend gasoline in state and
federal authorities. The proposal is soon to be subjected for final approval.
The commercial production of isobutanol can start by 2015. Yet, the company has
announced establishment of phase 1 of the first retrofit facility at
Minnesota. On the other hand, Gevo is already engaged in production of
gasoline blend isobutanol in the construction phase. Also, the company revealed
a successful use of bio isobutanol. They announced that the US army has
experienced a successful flight of the Black Hawk helicopter by using this bio
fuel. As a result of the Gevo’s contract of 16000 gallons with the US army,
this successful experiment was carried out.
