Kaylie Glynn

Majored in Chemical Engineering
Rochester Institute of Technology, Class of 2020
From Midlothian, VA

I am a third year Chemical Engineering student at Rochester Institute of Technology. I have four years of chemical classwork and lab experience, including General, Organic, and Inorganic chemistry. I have been an active member of a Formula SAE Vehicle team as part of the electrical team for over two years now. I have gained engineering experience from being a part of this project group that I never would have been exposed to in classes. I have obtained both Electrical and Mechanical engineering skills, as well as interpersonal skills, including leadership, presentation, collaboration, and team troubleshooting. I am currently on the team as a subgroup lead in vehicle controls.

Work Experience

Process Engineering Co-op at WestRock Company

Currently working as process engineering co-op for WestRock Company paper mill in the Power Department Studied the mechanisms and engineering behind multiple power boilers, with fuel feeds of biomass, sludge, coal, and natural gas. Studied the mechanisms and engineering behind steam turbines, both 60 Hz and 45 Hz megawatt production. Analyzed carbon content of coal boiler ash at various pulverizer classifier settings to determine most efficient production balance. Utilized RoTap seize system to determine rough sample size gradient and LOI testing for many ash samples to find unburned carbon content of ash. Worked extensively with PI ProcessBook to log data into Excel for analysis, to monitor system statuses, to create comprehensive display pages for simpler trending, and to study the overview of the mill's steam production, use, and return. Performed initial analysis of overall mill condensate return to determine viability of production improvement project. This project was proposed by the mill's Reliability Manager to achieve his Green Belt, and asked me to help him perform the analysis. Analyzed economic effect of ash buildup problems in the mill's biomass boiler that caused the steam load to be cut back from nominal. Utilized PI ProcessBook to trend steam flow lines and determine if setback spikes were due to ash issues or something else (such as a pump failure or environmental NOx, SOx, or opacity limits). Performed various other projects using Excel with intent to improve, optimize, sustain, and/or fix various department processes.
