Yea, he said the furnace runs pretty much 24/7 because it takes so much energy to heat up. When the shut it down to do maintenance it is done as a top priority item and get it fired up.
He said the piles of carbon black that sit in large piles outside quickly get a crust on it and it looks solid. One FNG stepped off into the train car and just vanished. He managed to hold his breath long enough to walk to the end of the car, and climb out. Of course he was coated in pure carbon. He survived fine.
My BIL works in the heavy equipment repair shop. So mostly he works on BIG yellow machines from Cat. Front end loaders and bulldozers. He is the longest term employee at the company. He started right out of high school 48 years ago. It is the only job he has ever had.
