First, the water for the caustic boilout was bery hard to come by, so we screwed up from the timeline bad. Then a roll cover (see roll cover) got damaged in the press section wreck, and we had to a cut a brand new piece of clothing to be replaced by another brand new piece of felt, we screwed up costly on that one. Then the 2nd attempt of start up was plagued with a run-away stock pump with huge RPM and the wrong JW ratio.The wet end was a mess! On the up side, the new profile gauging and control system is wonderful with full support from (Metso, ABB and CAS)! (see rainbow roll- oh so pretty fish and taco wrap!)
Gary's statement: " crappy felt with good pick up " really hit my spot in my heart. To top all these, the AC drive and PLC of the biocide system got fried during the shutdown, sure power surge did it, so they said.... The bugs are so lively and happy and they are practically laughing at me.
What I learned from all these.. how to be a cool and non-excitable engineer/papermaker/manager when life give you a really bad hand of cards and you have everything to bet against you!
