In another refinery incident there was a circulation pump located just under the white circular vessel you see in this image that failed. From the description of the event and the location, I’d take an estimated guess and say pipeline failure or some sort of flange failure.

The EPA is cool and all as an agency and I get why my company is potentially a bit hesitant to allow open dialog with them but… they’re just a bunch of fellas. The dudes, even. Wader-wearing, rather weird, “I found a cool bug during my inspection of your facility” girlies

Aftermarket solutions to problems that shouldn’t exist is, unfortunately, a familiar process.
To reiterate an opinion I’ve expressed many times, if I have to use someone else’s stuff to get rid of your trash as a manufacturer, stuff that you can block if you care, you have failed me as a customer. In fact, I assume I’m not your customer.

Sometimes I have a very specific way I want to say something but I can’t think of the word I need so I use a synonym but it pisses me off internally even though it probably sounds fine to whoever I’m talking to. Probably not relatable at all just thought about my internal dialogue problems smh

Just read the @funranium.bsky.social blog post about the shrimp situation finally and I find myself reminiscing about decontamination procedures. Please do not ever buy elemental mercury. These things are definitely not related in any way. I will not be elaborating on this

but fr you can detect hex chrome at like below half a microgram per cubic meter and it doesn’t really get “dangerous” until you have chronic exposure at something like 0.005 milligrams per cubic meter and the action level is 0.0025 mg/m3 which is 2.5 micrograms/m3

And I will now repeat one of my least popular Philisms:
There is a world of difference between Detectable and Dangerous. And our detectors and detection techniques get better every year.

This is my semi-regular reminder that the intention of Prop 65 was to make sure you knew materials were present that should be disposed of in a way that they wouldn't contaminate the groundwater, at which point you increase your odds in the cancer lottery.
