SPS Technologies Updates | Planned Release of Nitrogen/Argon

Apr 17, 2025

Planned Release of Nitrogen/Argon – Friday, April 18th

As part of the Reclamation Process, we are removing tanks that stored nitrogen and argon. Prior to removing the tanks, a SPS vendor will release the remaining, residual gas in each tank, which may appear similar to steam near the facility. In addition to being a part of certain manufacturing processes, Nitrogen and Argon are common elements in the atmosphere. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of Earth’s atmosphere and Argon is the third most abundant gas (1%) in Earth’s atmosphere, after oxygen (21%). The release will occur between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on Friday, April 18, 2025.
Air and water monitoring continues. To view the air and water monitoring reports, visit the Monitoring section.
If you have debris in your yard or would like to be added to the list for roof and gutter inspection/cleaning, please submit a request with your contact information and address through the Contact section.
The Reclamation process remains underway, and SPS is developing its plan for future demolition work at the site. Information will be shared to keep the community informed on the demolition plan.
For your safety, please remain outside the fenced area surrounding the property. Only authorized people should try to access the property/building. Thank you.
