orldwide pressure on industry and consumers has driven the demand for cleaner, more economical fuels sources. One of the more successful industries born (reborn) out of this demand is E85, a blend of ethanol and gasoline. The more evident perk from E85 is its cost effectiveness. The perks are noticed in the wallet, while not quite as evident are the perils associated with E85 and alternative fuels if they are treated the same as gasoline.
Participants will become engaged in this dynamic, interactive and hands-on training seminar while learning awareness of, safety issues regarding, and basic tactical intervention methods to control the various types of alternative fuels responders are likely to encounter today and into the future.
The goal of this Signet North America E85 and Alternative Fuels Safety and Awareness course is to provide a solid day of high-energy, interactive and informative education designed to take the attendee through a wide range of subject matter to include, but not be limited to:
- Alternative fuels in use today
- Local impacts/production
- Illicit and clandestine production of alternative fuels
- Ethanol and biodiesel production methods
- Physical properties of ethanol (E85) and other alternative fuels
- Response tactics and methods
None required.
