Input: Text: background: i work at a biodiesel plant. you load feedstock into the reactor, add some methanol and sodium methoxide (naome), let that shit tumble for a couple hours, filter it through some dry wash and you have some pure-ass fatty acid methyl esters (fame) or biodiesel.


now to understand the fuck up you have to understand the linear process. feedstock holding tank -> flash tank -> reactor. got it? the feedstock holding tank does just that, holds feedstock. the flash tank holds heated feedstock. the reactor takes heated fuel and adds methanol and naome.


between the holding tank and the flash tank there is a valve that opens and closes. prior to loading heated feedstock into the flash tank, it circulates while it is heated. i have to open the valve leading to the flash tank to begin filling it.


here's the first part of the fuck up: i was ready to load the reactor, so i opened the valve to the flash tank. it began filling. i go back to the control room and check the monitors and see glycerin levels in the reactor are high. this isn't a problem. but too much glycerin in the reactor inhibits reaction, and you can't run the reaction while there is pressure on the reactor, so i opted to drain glycerin. i open the drain turn on the pump. cool.


part two i forgot that i was filling up the flash tank. here's the deal - i have never paid too much attention to the glycerin levels. usually the other guy who runs the plant takes care of this. but today he told me to keep an eye on the level and drain it as needed. so i did. the process for doing so isn't complicated, but i didn't want to fuck it up, so i paid pretty close attention to it. in doing so i paid no attention to the flash tank.


the monitors in the control room show the flash tank level - up to 60%. after that i don't know; the sensor hasn't been fixed. no alarms go off telling me that it's too full. i don't need to go out and walk around the plant, so i sit there, watching the monitors. seeing glycerin drain. it's all good. i'm back and forth between reading the brothers karamazov on my computer and the monitors. then i get a knock on my door from a guy who works at the same facility but not with me. call him ben.


ben: "hey it's overflowing" me: "what's overflowing" ben: "i don't know come check it out"


and my worst nightmares came true. feedstock spilling out of the top of the flash tank. several inches covering 25 square feet. my own little sea of bacon and chicken fat. it had to have been overflowing for 10 minutes at least. it loads at 70 gpm, so you do the math. after cursing about ten times trying to figure out how i fucked up, immediately i ran to the flash tank, shut the valve, closed the glycerin drain, went back to the control room and pumped the reactor full of feedstock, trying to get the flash tank to stop overflowing. it did. but the damage was done.


i spent the next 5 hours vacuuming it up. i had a date at 8 and tried to move it back, to no avail. i didn't explain the fuckup because i don't want her to think i'm an idiot.
i'll be back tomorrow to continue cleaning it up. my boss is out of town. i called initially to figure out damage control, etc etc. later he texted "don't worry about it. shit happens."
