    Shutdown / Turnaround Planning

    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...

    How many hours do you work per week?

    Alberta Salary employee 7am -5pm / 4 days a week = 40. (Paid lunch/breaks) Any overtime is typical taken in lieu days later at 1 for 1.

    JMW- Food for thought for sure.

    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...

    Carrot

    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...

    Uphill Condensate Flow

    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.

    Uphill Condensate Flow

    I cannot move the valves closer so RMW's suggestion will not work although it's not a bad idea.

    Uphill Condensate Flow

    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...

    Sludge Consistency Measurement

    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.

    Sludge Consistency Measurement

    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.

    Sludge Consistency Measurement

    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.

    Sludge Consistency Measurement

    Anyone use a good sludge consistency measurement device for feeding centrifuges? I'm looking at the LQ500 - anyone have experience?

    Hypochlorite scaling

    We use a Grundfoss positive displacement pump - one of their Digital Dosing pumps.

    River Markers/ Buoys

    Anyone know the regulations (or where to find) in Alberta regarding river marking effluent diffusers? How about manufacturers of buoys?

    How about "Project Manager"?

    A project manager is just that. He manages projects. Helps build charters, action plans, budgets, reports, schedules, communication plans, project teams. Reports on earned value, etc.... It's actually quite extensive if you get good at it. That's why there has been such a push for...

    Flapper Valve/Weir

    Does anyone know who sells a flapper/weir gate that will act like a check valve but open in very low DP situations? I'm envisioning one like a pool skimmer flapper/weir but on an industrial scale and quality and instead of floating closed it would sink closed. (i.e bottom of the pool not the...

    Maximum Bend radius

    I suppose the maximum is infinity and the pipe ends up being straight. Or I suppose if you go past infinity and end up on the other side it's at the point where you reach the negative minimum bend radius. Never heard of a maximum.

    stainless steel pipework underground

    The reason they chose stainless is obviously the heat (212F) and corrosion - but I agree a sched 10s pipe underground is pretty thin. I also think if they are going to spend the dough on stainless they might as well protect it from the ground corrosion. I would propose an alternative...
