08/08/2011 - 14/08/2011 So the beginning of a new week and we didn’t get off to a good start at the power plant. The plant tripped (shutdown automatically, kind of like when you stall your car) because of a vibration in bearing 6 of the steam turbine...

<Insert Witty Blog Title Here> Part 6

This week my data analysing seems to be taking shape. The plant is running for more hours every day giving me a bigger list of results on the spreadsheet. By the end of the week my boss and I hope to have the first chemistry report ready to send to HQ...

I know what you’re all thinking....any festival that occurs in Luxembourg must be on the relatively small scale of things, otherwise we would all have heard about it back home, right? Wrong. When someone in the office told me to expect similar outdoor...
