Gas problem stumps KU officials
Lindley lab without steady pressure flow
By Lori O'Toole Special to the Kansan
Problems with natural gas pressure in a Lindley Hall lab have sent KU officials on a hunt for cause of the safety hazard.
Mike Russell, director of Environmental Health and Safety, said that the inconsistent pressure had caused problems in the lab where students used natural gas with equipment such as Bunsen burners.
"In their research projects, the sample gets collected in a glass tube, and they use a lighted Bunsen burner to seal it off." Russell said. "Poor gas flow or inconsistent flow could ruin the seal."
Russell said there was not a large safety risk.
"It's not like the building is
going to explode or anything, but they need consistency," he said.
The problem emerged at a fourth-floor laboratory and was reported midway through fall semester by Valery Terwilliger, associate professor of geography.
Robert McColl, professor of geography, said that he was concerned about safety in the lab.
"If it's fluctuating, it's not safe," McColl said. "When you’re dealing with gas and a flame goes out, you’ve got a room full of gas. That’s clearly a danger for breathing or for a stray spark."
The inconsistent gas pressure also may be a reflection of a larger problem. Russell said he was working with facilities operations to investigate all possible causes.
Mike Richardson, facilities operations director, said his plumbers were checking old pipes that may have restricted the gas flow. Furnaces on Lind-
ley's roof that require gas in large amounts also were thought to be burning much of the system's gas.
In addition, plumbers and the gas company will be analyzing a main gas meter at 15th Street and Naismith Drive. Owned by the Kansas Public Service gas company, the meter is scheduled for a change during spring break.
"That could solve all the problems." Hoag said.
The ultimate solution could be taking the lab off the city's gas and operating it with a propane cylinder to allow for more precise gas regulation.
"It's one of those problems that takes awhile to pinpoint," said Mike Labonte, plumbing supervisor for facilities operations.
