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.
