Several recommendations were outlined by the investigating committee to govern future operations of the hydrogen compressor in the synthetic liquid fuels laboratory:

Install a cutoff that will shut down the compressor when the suction pressure drops to a positive pressure of one to two inches of water.
Install an oxygen analyzer with an alarm as close to the compressor suction inlet as possible.
Attach all cylinders to the filling rack, discharge the contents to the atmosphere, and evacuate before filling.
Analyze as soon as possible the contents of at least one cylinder of each rack of cylinders charged.
Eliminate the recycle connection from the suction side of the compressor to the blowdown pot.
When compressing hydrogen, disconnect all interconnecting lines from the hydrogen suction line except the inert gas line.
Establish more definite procedures and responsibilities for maintenance repairs, construction, and operations.
