I send this, moreless's

Jaime, I send this e-mail out this week, but none of the other Supervisor’s didn’t replied? Jason, moreless said after this Demister shutdown we’ll talked about the TCV.

what memo?

I sent out a memo to the client, and asked for their comments and suggestions. Here's what I got back in an email: "His thought is to lift some of the discussion in the memos referenced in the memo and put them in the memo (low temperature discussions). "

Quotes from an email from my Aunt's friend on moving to Chicago...

"I cannot tell you exactly how far south to look and how far south is safe. I recommend a building with a doorman until she learns the city. Pay attention to parking. Sometimes parking is included in the rental, but most times, it's extra. It's a pain to have to park on the street. Be sure the parking garage is well lit and safe...Building security is important, but the main drag, Michigan Ave, has life much of the time. I use busses most of the time; I can get almost anywhere on the bus."

"You know, Chicagoland has millions of people. I cannot say what to avoid...because I just don't know the neighborhoods in the south that well. I work at 18 S. Michigan Ave...across from the skating rink and Millenium Park..and I used to work at 430 S. Michigan across from Grant Park. That's the S. Loop; it's built up over the last 5 -7 years. There are empty condos that should be for rent. I've never had trouble, but this is a city, just like any other big city. I take the bus, even at this late hour. I am cautious when walking."

"I am happy to meet them and to drive them around the area. My car is 18 years old now. Then, they could get a picture of the area."

In my option...

I am working on a "project" with a fellow ChemE concerning disposal of process sour water without running a sour water stripper. There have been many emails back and forth (which have also been sent to my boss, and her boss), and they all crack me up...here are some highlights, I put my fav one in purple at the end:

On a job fair:
"FYI

I cant make it but if also, I think the article is a little dated"

On Hiding the hardhat (long story):
"Found and re-hided"

On water treatment:
"We have been working with Baker to determine, if we could treat the sour water with a scavenger to remove the H2S so we could dump the water to the sewer. The sour water is about 6000 ppm in the vapor space when they shake the bottle.
They initial tried to use the scavenger that we have on-site but the lowest they could get too was ~650ppm. Baker tried another chemical, BPW76050, and able to get the vapor space down to 0 ppm. They mixed it at a concentration of 10000ppm. This means we would need to mix in approximately 13,000 gals of chemical with the sour water. The down side to using the chemical, it turns the sour water black which will increase the TSS in the waste water stream. "

In response to my list of water treatment "opinions":
"It looks like the best opinion is going to be the Baker Chemical, BPW 76050.
We still need to get this chemical approved, and we are working with Baker to get another sample tested bc we do not believe all of the material contains 6000ppm H2S. "

"Agreed this is the best opinion, if we can get Ops to run the SRU on sour gas alone."

"Can’t be done, due to EPA constraints so not an opinion in my book. Unless Environmental can get this override."

"I do not see this being an opinion at all, way too many safety concerns and exposure risks. Even if we emptied at minimal rate (1 gpm), it would take 2.4 Years to empty the tank way to long."

"I think this is probably the best way to opinion for everyone. I know Delcora is still going to need to approve it but I think that will be an issue. Once we remove all of the H2S dangers than we can go ahead, and work out the logistics of dumping the tank. "
