Another story is what I've experienced in the plant. I work in one of the biggest cement plant in the world. Then, last 28 June 2011 I had opportunity to have a luxury tour. *lebaaay* I call it Tour de Kiln. On the tour, some lucky employees can go to inside the kiln. You know what is kiln? Cement kilns are used for the pyroprocessing stage of manufacture of Portland and other types of hydraulic cement, in which calcium carbonate reacts with silica-bearing minerals to form a mixture of calcium silicates (Wikipedia, 2011). Too complicated, huh?! hahaha.. To make it simpler, kiln is a gigantic machine used to process cements ingredients. Inside, the temperature is so damn high. It is really hot, just like a magma inside the volcano. Every once in a year, the kiln will stop working and it is scheduled to get maintenance. So that, it is always in its best condition to produce the cement.
Things I learned from the tour are the plant in which I'm working in is very advance in technology. And "Safety First, No Compromise" is not only a tagline, but it is well applied and obeyed. While it is maintained, repaired, checked, people in the manufacturing are so busy. Amazingly, on very uncomfortable situation inside the kiln, the people working inside are very tough! They're just superb. Bravo and salute!
Every journey has some moments. Moments are captured in... PHOTOS of course!! hahaha.. So, to capture the precious moments on the unforgettable tour, take some pictures and cheeeeeeze! =D
Anyway, we're now in July! It's my fave month, hohoho...
Love u, life.. =D
