<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Kols Containers is very much in business and we buy all of our glass from them. Our contact there is Judy Bounds and she can be reached at
<a href="mailto:jbounds@kolscontrainers.com">jbounds@kolscontrainers.com</a> or (410) 646-2300. I have also attached a fairly recent price list for the various sizes of jars we purchase as well as lids.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In terms of storage of large quantities of ethanol we have found that the amount allowed depends very much on how the space is classified. We are only allowed a certain number of gallons in offices and labs
but our ethanol storage facility is classified as not being occupied by people on a regular basis and also has several fire prevention measures (lower temp at 65°F below flash point, HVAC system that changes air every 2 hours and sprinkler system). We also
have explosion proof electrical outlets, fire rated doors etc. etc. I unfortunately do not have the specifics but could probably find them if no one else chimes in. You should also be able to get this information from your fire marshal.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a couple questions regarding fluid storage. We are in the process of working on a grant to, among other things, rescue our 3,000-jar fluid collection from an awful, inaccessible storage situation to a new workable facility. Can someone
recommend a supplier for good quality jars and closures? Is Kols Containers/O’Berk still in business? We purchased supplies from them years ago but their web site seems to be shut down.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, how have museums reconciled storage of large amounts of ethyl alcohol with local fire codes? Apparently we can only store 120 gallons of 70% ETOH per ROOM, but our collection is approximately 2,000 gallons! Thanks in advance for
your advice and information.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely,</p>
