Shortly after the gas release, Union Carbide launched an aggressive effort to identify the cause. An initial investigation by Union Carbide experts showed that a large volume of water had apparently been introduced into the methylisocyanate (MIC) tank. This caused a chemical reaction that forced the pressure release valve to open and allowed the gas to leak. A committee of experts working on behalf of the Indian government conducted its own investigation and reached the same conclusion.

For any suspected gas emergency, or questions regarding a gas odor or carbon monoxide, please call us immediately at 1-800-427-2200. For additional safety information check our safety section.

Investigations suggest that only an employee with the appropriate skills and knowledge of the site could have tampered with the tank. An independent investigation by the engineering consulting firm Arthur D. Little determined that the water could only have been introduced into the tank deliberately, since process safety systems -- in place and operational -- would have prevented water from entering the tank by accident.

Get everyone out of the house as soon as possible and call 911 from a neighbor's house. Do not turn anything electric on or off. Alert the neighbors and leave the immediate area.

Odds are you won't have a natural gas leak in your home; but if you do, your nose will let you know. While natural gas has no odor of its own, Willmut Gas adds an odorant that gives it a distinctive smell (similar to rotten eggs). Adding the odorant is one of the precautions we take to make natural gas the safest energy you can use.

The tibialis anterior muscle is an antipronator due to its insertion on the medial aspect of the foot. When overpronation occurs, the tibialis anterior has ot fire constantly to oppose the over-overpronation, causing swelling of the muscle. Due to the fact that the anterior compartment of the leg is tightly constricted, the swollen Tibialis Anterior can cause an obstruction of blood flow which can cause severe pain due to lack of oxgen.

If a gas is escaping or an electrical line is penetrated, the excavator is required to notify emergency personnel, notify the operator, and take reasonable steps to minimize hazards to persons and property until either the operator's personnel or emergency first responders arrive on scene. Examples of reasonable steps would be to keep traffic clear of the area where the damage occurred or to evacuate the public in the area.

Two days in a row now I have had questions emailed to me about water in the exhaust caused by the Hydrogen-Boost system so it is time for me to address the question in the form of a report that I can cut and paste when asked again. So here we go. Octane, a typical gasoline molecule has a chemical formula of C8H18. When combusted in an internal combustion engine the chemical equation is: As you can see over half of the exhaust gases formed are water molecules (H2O).

If IT Assistant is installed on a system that is running Windows 2000 SP4, a known issue with the Microsoft WMI API (Microsoft Knowledge Base Article KB827711) results in a memory leak in the IT Assistant Network Monitoring Service when using the CIM protocol. The leak occurs when the remote system is passed incorrect authentication credentials during a Discovery or Status Poll.

No. Because of the bond structure of the heavy gases you must use a IR5000 which is programmed different than the unit for methane.

If inserted properly, The Keeper “should” not leak. However, some women find that it does-especially on those first 2 days. If you have a heavy flow or you wear it overnight, you might want some added protection. Or, you may find that you need to empty it slightly more often than you have been. Some women find that (on their heaviest days) it can leak somewhat, if it becomes full and is not emptied soon enough.

No. The IR5000 lets you know that there is a leak somewhere between the IR5000 source and receiver. Only point detectors such as the IR2100 or S4000C will tell you more information as to the leak location.
