ETHANOL ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

Ethanol is regulated by the PA Liquor Control Board, and a site permit is required for any location that will receive ethanol deliveries. Two critical steps are required for ordering ethanol:

When entering ethanol orders through Unimarket, you must enter 1515 Mountain Drive North as the Delivery location. This is the Central Receiving address and Lehigh has an ethanol site permit for this location. Individual labs do not have the proper permits to receive ethanol orders.  In the Attention line, please enter your name, building and lab/room number.

Once your order is placed via Unimarket, contact Purchasing at inpur@lehigh.edu. Purchasing will complete the appropriate process with the PA Liquor Control board to get the order released and shipped. If Purchasing is not notified, your order will not be shipped.

Please note that Lehigh has preferred pricing through VWR/Avantor.

ORDERING GASES – SEELEY MUDD AND WHITAKER

Orders for gas cylinders must be placed through Unimarket with the Whitaker loading dock as the Delivery Location in the requisition. Gas cylinders are delivered directly to each building loading dock and are not routed through Central Receiving.

There are gas cylinder transportation carts available at the loading dock. Please return them to the loading dock to ensure availability for other users.

Please note in the requisition to the gas vendors if you have any empty cylinders that should be removed upon new cylinder delivery. It’s important that empty cylinders are not stock piled in labs.

Gas cylinders are purchased through Airgas and Linde (formerly Praxair).

When ordering non-gas cylinders through Unimarket, the delivery location must be 1515 Mountain Drive North, with the requesters name in the attention line.
