I was midnight dispatcher when Chem Leaman took over driving for the Liquid Carbonic plant in Burlington, NJ. They folded Carbonic's So. Jersey guys into our board [both local 312] and dumped the guys in North Jersey which ended up in court.
It used to stink sending guys out to do 5 NYC hospitals every night, at least once a week there would be some doctor's Mercedes parked over the concrete pad dripping oil...Had to convince a Brooklyn cop he didn't need to evacuate the neighborhood when a Nitrogen trailer popped a burst disc on his beat.
We had one driver and trailer that used to go to a Naval base and recharge the Oxygen system on a Nuke sub, had a special vaporizing unit to expand the Liquid O2 back to 100% gas, cyro is neat stuff.

You got that right....Well, just so you know, those idiot doctors still park their cars on the Lox pads, only now it's usually some moron MD with a quad cab dodge diesel, still dripping oil. I blew the dog house off a Lox trailer at Cedars Sinai in 1989..The hospital had poured fresh asphalt right up to the pad. We pointed out that oxygen and asphalt don't mix...Drained my hose, lox ran into a seam between the concrete and the asphalt. Pulled away, Lox compressed and there it went..Pretty impressive flash fire..But then, I think it's fun to light stack fires on a liquid hydrogen trailer..Sounds like an F-18 getting ready to take off..And, it has the added benefit of keeping management away from us when they try and "watch us"....LOL, Hospitals still suck for the most part..

Ruan is also advertising cryogenic work but why work for 3rd party, I bet pay is lousy or they get all the leftover runs.Last edited: Mar 4, 2011
