Packaging & Shipping
1. Packaging Plan
- Dimethyl ether (DME) is a colorless gas, typically stored and transported in liquid form using steel cylinders or tank containers that meet international standards.
- Recommended options:
- Steel Cylinders: Use high-pressure cylinders with capacities of 40L, 50L, or 450L, ensuring filling pressure and weight comply with international hazardous goods regulations.
- Tank Containers: For bulk transport, use specialized low-temperature pressure tanks equipped with pressure gauges and safety valves.
2. Transportation Plan
- DME is classified as hazardous material (UN Number: UN1033, Hazard Class: 2.1). Transport must strictly follow the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code or ICAO Technical Instructions (ICAO TI).
- Sea Freight: Utilize specialized hazardous goods shipping companies. Tank containers or steel cylinders should be used, and ensure proper ventilation in the ship's cargo hold.
- Land Freight: Vehicles must be certified for hazardous goods transportation, equipped with specialized tankers or containers, and clearly marked with hazardous materials labels.
- Air Freight: Due to DME's flammable nature, confirm carrier acceptance and ensure compliance with IATA packaging regulations.
3. Precautions
- Packaging must include clear hazard labels (flammable gas) and a Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
- Ensure all export documentation is complete, including hazardous goods declaration and packaging certificates.
- Prevent collisions or tipping during transportation. Store in a cool, ventilated area, and avoid exposure to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
