SURPRISE SURPRISE RUPTURE DISCS ACCOMPLISHED THEIR GOAL

of fumigating the residents and property of Elmira. This has got to stop! Here in the Elmira Advocate, back on Wednesday September 29/10 (which you can look up via the Blog Archive on the right) I indicated the likelihood that once again the low tech Chemtura "solution" to a tank or vessel being overpressurized was to let it intentionally break a "rupture disc" and be released to the natural environment (ie. Elmira). Indeed in tommorrow's Woolwich Observer (pg. 3) we finally have confirmation that this is exactly what happened. There were several other contributing factors including the operators not being present and a lack of automatic shut down features. Why can this company not be proactive? Why each and every time do they have to reinvent the wheel? Every pressure vessel and every possible public safety matter must be addressed beforehand not on an ad hoc basis after each and every toxic release.
