Moving On…

What I’m Covering Today What I’ve Learned Control Diagrams Loop Sheets

– My Work at Plant Bowen Future Goals

What I’ve Learned

ProjectWiseDocumentum– File management within the two

Importance of drawings being checkedLearned about Southern Company – Became a Student of the Business

Learned about valves through training books

Control Diagrams

Typical Control Diagram

Control Diagrams

For Instance

Electronic Valve

Normally Open, Allowing Gas/Fluid to Flow

Pressure/Temperature Too High, Shuts System Down

Control Diagram Sets Logic to Deal With This

Control Diagrams

Plants I’ve done drawings for– Wansley– Scherer– Bowen

Projects I’ve worked on– FGD Project– SCR Project– Valves– SootBlower *Note: Drawings Blown Up On Next Slides

Control Diagrams

Benefits Of Working On TheseFurther understanding of power plantsLearned Southern Company proceduresLearned how certain equipment runsLearned a lot about the environmental side

Loop Sheets

Typical Loop Diagram

Loop Sheets

Note: These are parts of individual drawings

My Work At Bowen

Unit 1 & 2 Sootblower– Created the loop sheets– Got them checked– Took them to the field– Checked the information inside FoxSelect– Got to see the physical components

Loop Sheets

Benefits Of Working On These Learned what controls individual components Pivotal to contractors in the field Put past knowledge into practice Allowed me to work in the field

Future Goals

Second Rotation with Atlanta I&C DesignHelp improve efficiency in the officeMore experience with field workContinue on to finish my Bachelor’s for EE

That’s All Of It!
