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.

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.

Hello everyone, this is only my second blog post, but it seems like so much has happened since my last entry. The last two weeks I have been learning how to use a program named MOPS as well as experimenting with pivot tables in Microsoft Excel. After spending only a couple of hours with both tools, I was struck by how significantly computational power has affected the capability of engineers to efficiently monitor and control chemical processes.

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.
