Mike,
I spoke with Mike Johnson at DuPont. The anhydrous ammonia leak occurred on a full 150 lb
cylinder which apparently had a small leak around the packing gland on the cylinder valve.
Leak was secured when discovered. An empty cylinder was weighed and compared to the weight
of the leaking cylinder. Difference was 148 lbs. Since the full cylinder was assumed to
contain 150 lbs, the leak calculated at 2 lbs released to atmosphere. No injuries, no
evacuations.
If more info is needed, let me know.
Greg
