David, I was checking MSDS of DDG, I found one produced by Commercial Alcohols/Les Alcools de Commerce Inc. Note the followings: FLASH POINT: NOT APPLICABLE. FLAMMABLE LIMITS, % V/V - LOWER: NOT APPLICABLE. FLAMMABLE LIMITS, % V/V - UPPER: NOT APPLICABLE. VAPOUR DENSITY: NOT APPLICABLE. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: - Apply water or all-purpose-type foams by manufacturers' recommended techniques for large fires. - Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical media for small fires. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: - Dust/ air mixtures may be explosive. - Avoid pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, electrical equipment, static discharges or other ignition sources. I can help you only on this, I am not a professional to give a comment, others will do for sure. Good Luck, Reza

Do you consider the distillers dried grains (DDG) combustible? 2. Do you require the DDG storage buildings (over 12,000sq.ft.) to be sprinklered? I'm getting conflicting information as to the DDG's combustibility and would like to get your take on the subject.
