I was a field, and control room operator. Had to monitor tank levels, and trouble shoot equipment as needed for my area. My job was moving the materials inside my tanks, keeping the levels balanced so our process didn’t stop from high levels. Once at a high level, automatic valves would close putting a stop to the process until the level came down. I had to manually operate Sludge Presses, that pulled 19-FH-10’s Tank level down that our Primary Presses dumped to in the cleaning process. With this Tank being at a high level, our Primary’s would just stay in an idol until able to go through its process. Without the Primary’s running, my area isn’t able to move material forward. This would bring a stop to the Refinery, causing melt loss.
