I have worked in an OIL DEPOT for TEN years as a SENIOR DEPOT OPERATOR and an ASSISTANT MARINE
OFFICER. In the depot, I was a supervisor to ten depot operators and in charge of all depot operations. I report to the depot supervisor and am in charge of preparing the tank farm for the day's activities by way of getting the innnge and ullage of the product in the tank and reporting to the control for figures to be input in the consul.
Once this is done, the volume of fuel is ascertained with all parameters. The control room official then reports to the OIL MARKETTING COMPANY'S (OMC) trucks and they inturn will bring the required number of trucks to the truck parking area and ready to be loaded per the required order from the respective OMC.
All the obove is done from the collaboration of the custom official who gives the final green light for the truck to be loaded from the metering skid. It is also my duty to make sure all operators are the required
PPES and the trucks are loaded per the order (LOADING TICKET) from the control room. I make sure the trucks are fully earthed to prevent electrical discharges. The above are all done in the depot.
Now as an ASSISTANT MARINE OFFICER, my work schedules is to assist my boss in discharge of his duties on the vessel and at the wharf or quay side. Now I attend pre-berthing meetings with all stake holders to have a common goal before any vessel arrives.
OPERATIONS are in THREE FOLDS.
Cargo Receipt, Truck Loading and Pipeline bunkering. During cargo receipt, I make sure the is berthed in the right position to enable the shore hose to have access to the ship's manifold. Once berthed, a radio is communicated to the terminal for them to get ready and to have the pipelines properly lined up for the discharge of the product to the shore tanks.
Again on berthing all stake holders including Port Health are on board to make sure all agreed parameters of the fuel as agreed from the loading port or country is the same in the discharging port. I make sure all are in the required PPE before discharging and then informing depot to be ready to receive.
After one hour discharging is stopped to check for all parameters and resumed when all stake holders are satisfied with the set parameters. The LOADING MASTER/ASSISTANT LOADING then instructs the ship officer who in turn instructs the pump man to restart pumping to the end. Hourly checking of the fuel attained in the tank is done from the shore tank and on the vessel.
Once completed all stake holders meet again to check for losses, water in the fuel and other parameters. T he fuel in the is then allowed to settle for 24hrs before fresh loading of the OMC trucks
I have worked in a cocoa factory for TEN years as Machine Operator/Production Attendant. I was in charge of troubleshooting when faults are reported-ELECTRICALLY and Technically around alongside
Mechanical Technicians. I report to the shift superintendent or hand over to the incoming shift.
Secondly the LIQUOR PLANT is a fully automated PLANT and it is continually manned by the Shift
Technician with the assistance of the shift crew. During the shift hours I am in charge of the entire
PLANT right from the Been Intake which conveys raw cocoa beans by the use of a bucket elevator to the roasting Plant. A receptacle above the Roasting Plant accepts the raw cocoa beans and drops in bits for roasting at a pressure of 9BAR. By the use of a screw/worm conveyor the hot roasted beans is transported to a cooler to cool the hot roasted beans and then finally transported to the winnowing section for winnowing (silo).
With the help of the screw conveyor the cooled beans is transported to machines that breaks the roasted beans into smaller particles called NIBS at the same time a blower sucks the shells from the beans to a silo.
Whiles been transported to the first stage mill for milling. A screw conveyor then transports the milling product to the sterilizing PLANT for sterilization and then to the BEETZ PLANT to remove the bad odour and water from the product. Again a worm/screw conveyor transports it to the Second and Third Stage
Milling. (BALL MILLING) This stage uses balls to finally grind the product and send again to the
BLOCKING SECTION with the help of a screw conveyor. This is the cooling section and is parked in 25kg boxes. It is first lined with a rubber liner and placed in the box which is ready to receive the chilled product. From the above and during operation quality samples are taken at different times and forwarded to the quality control section for onward analysis.
This finally sent to the AIR CONDITIONED ROOM for packaging. It takes 24 hours to harden and then finally is been prepared for export as and when there is a vessel at Port waiting for the product.
