There's a picture of the plant I'm currently working at as seen when driving in. Of course the day that I bring my camera, it's snowing, grey and dreary. Regardless, she's a beaut, eh? Not the largest, but definitely not the smallest.
Today was probably the most interesting day out here yet. For one thing, my day started off with getting into work late. My ride's alarm clock didn't go off, thus making four young professionals late for work. At least none of us had meetings. Anyways, after another boring drive out to the plant, I am immediately told upon arriving that they're opening up one of the steam boilers. And that I'm supposed to get in there! Woo hoo! So my morning consisted of crawling inside a giant fired boiler vessel and looking at the internals. I got to see the fire tubes, burners and also this amazingly high heat retaining material called refractory. It was the first vessel I've ever crawled into, hopefully not the last.
Work in general is actually starting to pick up as well. Exchanger testing, CO2 process troubleshooting, all things that I am NOT familiar with. Hopefully I don't disappoint too much!
that sounds creepy...tube steamer...
