Marlin,
The photos that I took show mainly the tank placed on there pads and the movement of the GRNO processor onto its slab by a crane. I also have pictures of the various piles of equipment that are stacked around the site under covering tarps.
They aren't very glamourous, and I have requested Pete and Bill to snap some photos and send them to me as a progress update. I had expected that the the trailer was in place and the supporting framework was under construction. Bill and Pete, (the site engineer), stated that the processors slab had required 3 coats of sealant, with 3 days of curing between applications, and that had delayed production by about a week, thus the lack of pipes, framework,... etc. Bill wants this first site done especially well as he knows that DEHC is closely watching him and he wants to give them no pretext for stalling assemble or operations.
I had planned on calling Bill today or tomorrow and see what the progress was and if the photos were on the way. After spending several weeks of 7day/12hour shifts I expect that progress will be much farther along than it was when I was there.
I also took some photos of the available "day storage" tanks at the Allied Terminals site. While the processor location is not "esthetically pleasing" to the eye, it is very functional. In fact a railline enters into the site location for easy transport of waste oil and fuel products. Overall, if any of you have gone to a petroleum tank farm, then you know it is not Beverly Hills. If you would like to see the photos that I have, which are two weeks old, I be glad to get them scanned and ship them out. I would rather wait for the news ones as I don't have a scanner and it can cost around $5 bucks for each one I scan.
Regards,
Ron |
