T
he featured student this week is Brooklyn Browner, a chemical engineering major from Hendersonville, Tennessee, who worked for the Dow Chemical Company in Hahnville, Louisiana.
Browner worked at the Ethylene Oxide plant within the St. Charles Operations in Hahnville. Her three main projects during her work term were to complete the ethylene oxide recovery column tails cool condensate tie-in, establish the ethylene oxide piping Global Mechanical Integrity Safety Standard (GMISS) revalidation, and to assess the GMISS phase II action items from an audit gap.
The most valuable benefit she received from accepting this co-op was the opportunity to work at one of the world’s largest chemical companies and gain technical work experience that simply can’t be learned in a classroom setting. She also gained an abundant amount of hands-on experience, which comprised of technical and non-technical skills.
