Hello fellow readers, I have really been enjoying my work here at DMI in Peace River Alberta. My mentor has taught me a great deal about the pulping industry, but there has also been an unanticipated benefit of moving 8 hours north of my hometown: Calgary.   Through exploring the town of Peace River, these past 12 weeks, I have discovered that it is truly a great place to live.

What I’ve Been Working On For Weeks

Hello everyone, what a busy past few weeks!  I just finished a project that I have been working on for quite some time.  My job was to create an energy monitoring screen that shows the current conditions of what is going on in a particular area of the mill.  Like any sophisticated computer program, the learning curve was steep, but once I got the hang of using MOPS it was a breeze to create new components and edit existing ones whenever necessary.

To open this series of blog posts I would like to thank Daishowa-Marubeni (DMI) and the green dream work force for this excellent learning opportunity in the forestry sector.  Just last semester I completed my third year of chemical engineering and I am now working at DMI in the technical department of their pulp mill from May to the end of August.
