We have a very condensed shutdown - something like 1600 work orders (with multiple tasks and resources) completed in 7 to 10 days. 24/7. Cost is about a million dollars a day to be down.
1st Question: Given all the time in the world to plan has anyone actually pulled off a nearly live...
Good points Greg.
Without going into too many details - it comes down to exposure. He's a direct worker for the other boss. I am not.
I assure you the skillset required to complete the job is not there - it could be with some training/experience but this will be baptism by fire for him. I...
Ok - A good nights sleep and I'm feeling better. Thanks for the posts. Couple clarifications and then I think this can probably end.
I saw a need for myself and my company to take some training. It was undbudgeted and unapproved so I paid myself. At the end my boss even offered to pay for...
It was basically two bosses that could have appointed someone. My boss was playing a more political route by trying for a long term strategy. The other boss just said - This guy will do it.
I bet on the wrong horse maybe? Either way it's too late - any advice on how to get over it? Time I...
I like my workplace - I love the pay and benefits etc.
I took (and still taking) the initiative to improve myself (on my own dime I might add) and it looked like it would pay off. I was promised a new position for months. All the while I was getting kudo's from my boss and the CEO etc about...
A pipe material change might be in order. It certainly would be the easiest solution. We already have schedule 80 A106 Gr B.
I have a Chrome Moly spec I could use - I have no stainless spec but I'll ask if one could be made.
I have 3 condensate lines (400KPA) running through some control valves and then immediately going up into the top of the flash tank. (First off I didn't design it).
That being said I have a lot of errosion issues presumably with flashing steam through the valves driving the condensate at high...
Maybe I'm missing how concrete batching has anything to do with wastewater? Totally different types of processes and solids suspensions.
As far as nuclear measurements I'd prefer to stay away from it. (With my hands covering reproductive areas). Just extra hassle.
I need a way to qualitatively define the amount of solids going to the centrifuges. I have a flow rate so now I need some sort of consistency or density measurement. Visocsity isn't particularly useful since the sludge isn't consistent or linear or predictable with velocity.
2.5 to 3.5% - a combination of Waste Activated (1% Solids +/-) and Primary clarifier sludge (8% solids +/-). Dilution through use of water. Currently a manual process creating large swings depending on operator attention.
