Chemistry and Processing Practice at Sandefjord VGS

My Work Practice:<br/>Chemistry and Processing

Experiences from Sandefjord VGS

My Work Tasks

Practice in the Laboratory

Chemical Experiments

Practical execution of experiments, mixing solutions, and observing chemical reactions.

Maintaining Logs

Accurate documentation of all experiments, results, and observations in the laboratory log.

Other Tasks

Cleaning equipment, tidying the workspace, and following HSE routines.

Project Management

Planning and Motivation

The original project plan was followed strictly throughout the period. Regular status checks and milestones ensured that all tasks were completed on time.

My motivation remained high due to a strong interest in the subject. Seeing practical results from the experiments made the work very engaging.

Challenges and Solutions

The Challenge: During the project, we encountered unexpected issues with temperature regulation, leading to inconsistent measurements and data uncertainty.

The Solution: We implemented a new calibration routine for the sensors and optimized the cooling system, ensuring stable operation and reliable results.
