Best Regards, From: BNC-all [mailto:bnc-all-bounces@ecn.purdue.edu] On Behalf Of Turner, Jaime J Sent: Monday, November 17, 2014 9:30 AM To: 'bnc-all@ecn.purdue.edu' (bnc-all@ecn.purdue.edu) Subject: [BNC-all] Important Message: Power plant problems All, We have lost 2 of the 3 steam boilers that supplies steam to the entire campus. Due to the cold temperatures outside (17) and our steam pressure in the building is at 0 PSI we started an emergency shutdown of all wet and gas hazardous processes in the building so we can sharply cut back our chemical exhaust systems. The cleanroom and lab areas would be shut down once will have secured all hazardous processes secured. All office and atrium areas have been shut down at this time. I will send an update once steam pressure is restored.
