BakerSituation
A Baker customer had been contracted to do a scheduled maintenance shut down at a paper mill. They were required to clean out a number of lubricant reservoirs within the plant. Since they had never done a project like this before they asked Baker to consult on the job.

The gear lubricant contained in the tanks needed to be heated to 120 degrees Fahrenheit in order to reach a viscosity that was pumpable. The fluid was to be reused after being emptied from the tanks. The customer explained that there would be a layer of sludge at the bottom of the main tank that would need to be removed and discarded. The fluid had be kept at constant 120 degrees throughout the project, even while being stored in the Baker tanks.

The project needed to begin promptly on Monday morning and the Baker rep was required to attend a safety contractors meeting the very next morning. The rep rearranged his schedule to accommodate this meeting.

BakerSolution
Baker designed a solution that included the use of 2-Stainless Steel Tankers and berms, a coil tank with a berm, 2-550 gallon Stainless Steel Cubes with berms, 2-6" pumps bushed down to 4" with berms and all of the fittings to adapt to the reservoirs. The job also required 250 feet of cam-lock suction hose and a steam generation plant to keep the fluid at the right temperature while in the tanks. Delivery of all tanks and equipment was scheduled for Monday morning and arrived on site on time as expected.

BakerResults
The customer was extremely pleased and was able to meet the plant's schedule and perform the job. Baker's ability to meet and exceed all required customer expectations, work with customers, peers and partners resulted in another win for the Baker team. Ask the Baker rep and he'd be the first to tell you, "without the support from the drivers, operations and the guys in the yard, a salesman is just a salesman. With the help and support we have, our sales team can't lose."
