Vincent Tio

Vincent Tio is an agricultural engineering student at the University of Illinois who completed a co-op with Seed Process Co-op. During his co-op, he worked on several projects including developing a process to deblend Refuge-in-Bag seeds and upgrading a dryer-sheller diverter valve. He also assisted with smaller projects like a gas train upgrade. Vincent gained valuable experience in engineering, business, agriculture and traveled to different sites. He is grateful for the learning opportunities and thanks his mentors at Seed Process Co-op.

Seeds Process: Refuge-in-Bag (RIB) Deblend Project Mentor: Chuck Johnson
RIB Deblend First RIB Deblend Startup Observed actual RIB Deblend startup Calibration and testing by Satakes technician
RIB Deblend (cont.) Process Failure Findings Limitation of ScanMaster IIs monochromatic camera Reduced seed germination
RIB Deblend (cont.) Alternative color sorters Research into different type of sorter to improve the process Main point of contact with Odenberg and Wecotek
RIB Deblend (cont.)
RIB Deblend (cont.) Satake Evolution Testing Visited Satakes HQ in Houston, TX Firsthand experience with the real capability of the Evolution color sorter Evaluate sort feasibilty for RIB deblend Developed report for business justification Before After
Monsanto Spring 2013 Co-op Presentation
Capital Project: ECS01812 Constantine, MI Dryer-Sheller Diverter Valve Upgrade Project Mentor: Clint Rodenberg Eric Daniels Cary Schneider
Dryer-Sheller Diverter Valve Upgrade Front-End Discussion with Crop Lead Limited Budget Upgrade bucket valve instead of indexing conveyor Front End Evaluation Measured dimensions and elevations of the existing bucket valve setup
Dryer-Sheller Diverter Valve Upgrade Scope of Work Made revision to the scope of work based from team discussions Agra Bucket Valve FAT Constantine, MI
Small Projects: 2013 Cotton Dryer Burner Gas Train Upgrade Project
Gas Train Upgrade Purpose Compliance to NFPA 85, 86 and Monsanto standards
Gas Train Upgrade First real exposure to project management PDR, COA, ESH, CMR, ISN, RFQ, RFP, PO, PR,, SOW, JSA, WIP Importance of properly defined Scope of Work and specifications Interacting and working with contractors Involved in project mobilization and demolition Importance of communications with stakeholders
Gas Train Upgrade Monsantos emphasis on safety and health PPE, WIP, Pre-job Orientation, JSA Specifications that is beyond federal / national standards Consistent supervision and WIP Audit
Gas Train Upgrade 3 cotton sites: 1. Aiken, TX (AR : $70,000) Gas train is currently in fabrication Project expected to be completed in Oct 11th, 2013 2. Eloy, AZ (AR: $232,000) Construction ongoing, forecasted completion Sept 13th, 2013 3. Hollandale, MS (AR : $30,000) Construction begins Aug 15th, 2013
Others Corn Production Process Presentation Revised and updated Sam Nesbitts old presentation
Cotton Seed Storage Aeration Others (cont.) Waco Small Lot Project 2013 Made flow measurements for red dust collection system
Others (cont.) Aiken Ladder and Catwalk Upgrade Scope of work development Pre-bid meeting
Co-op Experience SPRING + SUMMER 2013
Pros Invaluable Experience Engineering Business Agriculture
Pros Opportunity to travel and explore Includes food poisoning Great working environment Working with experts in the field Work hard, play hard
Lesson Learnt Expect the unexpected to happen Dont be shy to ask for help from anyone
Suggestions Fleet GPS device Remote site locations are sometimes hard to locate Longer co-op term Hope to get involved in more projects and learn more
