I pointed to a valve and told him that if we install a .130" diameter orifice in this warm-up line instead of leaving it wide open, we'll increase our diesel production by 28 gallons a minute without any control downside.
Doesn't sound like much but that's 14,700,000 gallons a year. The total cost for the modification was about 1500 bucks.
In return I was given an atta-boy plaque and a gas card worth $50 
The paychecks ain't bad tho. |
Too bad you don't work on Wallstreet, that would be good for at least a $5 million bonus.
