By the end of the shift Step up to the operator position. About 10 bucks more an hour but trapped watching 20 screens for 12 hours will will drive you insane
@LunarOrbit 3 boilers. A recovery boiler that typically runs about 600k. A smaller 150k gas fired swing boiler and a gigantic Hog boiler rated to 500k but typically running about 420k. 65MW STG made by Dresser/Rand of and twin 35s MW from GE that run on 425 PSI . 3 extractions on the bigger one for process steam 425,180,and 65 psi. Hydrograte system on the hog boiler. Leaking of course Shake and bake. Dumps to a wet ash chain and exhausts to a dry fly ash system cyclone collectors, chains and screws. Steam coil air heater and low temp economizer are both leaking currently. Have a shutdown scheduled for next month. Theyll probably postpone it with the money theyre making off electricity
I used a Detroit Hydrograte in a Foster Wheeler boiler. It dumped into a wet ash chain conveyor and it would get overloaded and jump an idler sproket often. Pain in the ass. Dont miss it one bit
