Foul smell at plant to end
By a Kansan reporter
The foul smell caused by sulfur dioxide emissions from the KU power plant behind Stauffer-Flint Hall will end today because the plant will burn natural gas instead of oil, a KU official said yesterday.
Rodger Oroke, director of support services, said the plant had been burning low-grade fuel oil in recent months partly because of University budget cuts.
But at 8 a.m. today, the plant will begin burning natural gas because of a new cheaper rate from Kansas Public Service.
"Natural gas will cost $2.40 per 1000 square feet, which costs less than burning oil, and we're committed to using the cheapest fuel available." Oroke said.
The power plant had emitted sulfur dioxide when burning oil that contained sulfur.
Dr. Gerald Kerbby, director of pulmonary disease at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said breathing sulfur dioxide in the form emitted by the plant was a nuisance but not a health hazard.
Ooke said the Kansas Department of Health and Environment notified him April 10 that the power plant was in violation of air quality standards.
But, Oroke said, the department's study was inaccurate.
"They assumed all four boilers operated on 100 percent oil, but one operates only on natural gas, and other uses only 50 percent oil," he said.
Computerark
Dennis Lane, associate professor of civil engineering, is running a computer model based on the modified data, Oroke said. Those results will be submitted to the KDHE by Sept. 21.
