**************************************************************** From: David J Schneider <djschneider@xxxxxxxx> **************************************************************** The Alaska Volcano Observatory has received a request from a local company requesting technical information on the affect of ashfall on oil refinery operations, and on specific mitigation practices. These facilities operate at very high temperatures and there is concern about the ingestion and melting of volcanic ash. We would appreciate any information on this topic. Those references in the form of electronic documents and/or Powerpoint briefings would be especially useful. Thank you for your consideration of this request.
