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

What, all those screens and not one can log onto SW?
icedsky · 51-55, M
@calicuz They wont let us log into anything pretty much. All on a couple of work specific servers.

Power plant?
icedsky · 51-55, M
@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

@icedsky Sounds like a pulp mill?

Big operation :)

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

Nice chattin. Have a good one!

Guess you'll have to decide on what's more important, money or job stimulation.

@Iwillwait Rather be out in the field as engineer. Watching and operating the controls just gives me a headache
icedsky · 51-55, M
@Iwillwait But I wont complain. Have a job at least.
Iwillwait · M
@icedsky totally get it. I would probably stay in the field too until my body tells me otherwise.
