OMP Flexible Technology (a flexible compound customer) audited the plant versus Ford's Q-l standard. We scored 135/200. Flexible Technology has a minimum target score of 120. Environmenta1 The semi-annual bioassay wastewater test performed during April showed low reproduction rates in the test organism (fierifisiaphnia dubia). A followup test did not indicate any problems. VAB.0001189245 T. H.

The Plant Manager's Natural Team has begun work on the Synergy Team's recommendations for removing barriers to QMP. Four of the items requiring action from top management have been forwarded for consideration. Flexible Technologies conducted a quality audit of the Aberdeen Plant on May 28.

Also, $5.7M was expended for the Pond 2 cleanup and was charged to Conoco. MM&C Activity was below budgeted levels. l* Miscellaneous Costs associated with the cleanup of Pond 2 totaled $20.7M in this category. This was credited in the "clearance" category. Clearances Credit, from Conoco, for costs associated with the Pond 2 cleanup caused the favorable variance. VAB.0001189252 VXMYL - J. D. Olson, D. E. Knittig Safety The Vinyl Department had one first aid case during Hay. A Dryer Operator burned his fingers on a rotary dryer. The dryer inlet has been reinsulated. The monthly safety meeting was "Electrical Hazards Survey". General 1. Fluid bed dryer process changes have been implemented to Improve contamination performance of the dryer. Discussions with Niro, the fluid bed manufacturer, indicate we are making the necessary changes to improve performance. 2. Witco calcium stearate is being reevaluated due to poor flow qualities. Poor flow properties cause problems in our injec tion systems. Samples have been sent to Witco for testing.

The high pressure service water pump was rebuilt due to normal wear. Replacement plans are in progress to repair the baffle that broke in reactor 743. The Bird torque tests were performed on all V-ll dryer Birds. The quarterly PM program was completed on the west incinerator. A new relief valve was installed on the discharge line of #6 compressor. The load test was performed on #2 boiler. The water controls were checked and adjusted as needed. During the load test, the #1 and #2 water valves were determine to be undersized. A fifth utility man began duties 5/18/92. - S. C. Hillman, J. B. Hegwood The Compound Department had no OSHA recordable injuries in May. General Orders continue to be tight on Line 1 and Line III.

Carter PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT - GENERAL Water Plant Construction is proceeding and startup is scheduled for the middle to end of July. Debottlenecking - Prverg A new air line was connected to dryer #8 activator to improve compressed air flow rates, eliminate flow restrictions and make higher resin transfer rates possible. Centrifuge torque evaluation data has been compiled. The Bird Company will study the data and make recommendations. Resin buildup and burning are causing a problem with the fluid bed dryer. Niro, the fluid bed vendor, has been contacted for advice. Improvements in the plant wet air system are being evaluated in order to improve compressed air supply to activators. Semi-Bulk Lead A third supersack of lead stabilizer was successfully run on the Line III semi-bulk lead system. OSHA Process Safety A meeting presented by OSHA was attended in Houston. In this meeting, OSHA stressed their expectations that industry make a "good faith effort" to comply with the regulation. OSHA defined a "good faith effort" as having as many process safety documents generated and implemented as possible by the May 26, 1992 deadline. Also, Reed Mackay, Rodger Collins and Steve Carroll attended an Operating Procedure Writing Class in Lake Charles. This class was presented by the personnel at LCCP and detailed their efforts toward compliance of the operating procedures element of OSHA Process Safety. A model was developed to calculate plant total steam demand from the state of valves and meters in steam service. Historical data from the unit was then fit to steam flow rates recorded at the boilers to determine f :eam through each piece of equipment, From this, peak and average steam demand for each process area was determined. A mm VAB.0001189257 m ENG1HKKRJLHG - Continued Wastewater Work on the plant wastewater system is proceeding in three areas: aeration in Fond 3, algae removal in ponds 5 and/or 6, and chemical oxidation for BOD reduction. Work has begun on an aeration design for Pond 3. Information on algae eating fish has been obtained. A fish study is targeted for July. Oxidation information is being sent to us and some water samples have been mailed out to Carruss Chemical Company for oxidation tests. Staffing Two new process engineers started June 1. Kelly Wood and Michael Harvey are both graduates of the University of Arkansas. Plastic* Design reviews with project engineering and operations have led to re-evaluation of column/condenser pressure control schemes. Alter natives to the original design were suggested and evaluated. Re design of the condenser will be completed in early June. Specifica tions on all major equipment, except the condenser and decanter, are with vendors for confirmation and quotes. Class "A" re-issue is planned for mid-June.
