ADM Glycols

Job title: Chemical operator

Responsibilities: Unloading crude cars of glycerin to external tank farm

and loading finished product of Propoleyene Glycol, ethylene glycol, bdo,

and glycerin into rail cars and trucks. Since qualifying as a utility

operator I was promoted to a glycerin operator. As a glycerin operator my

responsibilities included running two process stills, tfe's, and six carbon

columns. This required continuous monitoring of the process on D3 and Pie,

maintenance to this process as well as process improvements, and running

process lab samples. I have played a major role in addressing safety issues

and have personally taken on the responsibility of correcting these issues

as well as process improvements in the load out area and glycerin area.

Safety: I worked with the safety coordinator on a burn task committee which

entailed eliminating all potential burn hazards in load out, glycerin

process, distillation and the hydrogen plant. I also wrote and updated

sop's for the process to make the training of new employees safer and

easier for them to understand.

annual grounding inspection, and chemical handling training for the area.

Special projects: Worked directly with area engineers and contractors to

bring on line three flash dryers, two dry thinning processes, and an

Ethylene Oxide compound. I played a major role in the writing of sequencing

of these processes on Provox and Intellution, working with contractors

interpreting p&id's and the training of all operators on the new systems.

I also managed all the overtime for 48 employees and worked as a step up
