It’s been six years since I graduated; I’ve been working in the petrochemical industry. Can I work at a process design institute?
Thread Content
After graduating from university, I started working at a large petrochemical plant as an operator for MTO processes, and eventually became a team leader. Later, I switched to another company to work as an operator for PX processes; it’s been six years now. I no longer want to work shifts. May I ask if it’s possible for me to switch to working in a design firm? What do I need to prepare, whether it’s technical knowledge or software skills, or perhaps a certain mindset? Thank you all!
To be honest, it’s not easy to get into a design institute.
1. In terms of software, the most basic one is Aspen CAD; this is essential, and it’s also good to be proficient in PDMS as well. 2. Regarding knowledge: there are various textbooks on design available at universities, which can be used for learning; relevant design experience can be found on forums. 3. As for standards: it’s important to be familiar with relevant standards such as GB and HT – these are quite common. You can start by learning about the standards related to 20570
It’s pointless; don’t go to a design institute. You can’t get into the larger companies, and there’s no future in the smaller ones. It’s better to work steadily in a factory
I want to give it a try; the factory is too far away from my family

Life lies in constant effort; staying active without pause is the best way to be with one’s family.
You have 6 years of hands-on production experience in petrochemical plants at the grassroots level during your undergraduate years; what is your current professional title?
It’s great working in the factory – there’s no need to worry about anything
