Is there anyone here who is involved in training chemical plant operators?

Most factories find their own people for this task, such as teachers from chemical engineering schools. Our factory sometimes handles it internally as well; those with higher technical skills can help others learn through lectures and training. First of all, it’s much better if one oneself is proficient in the subject, and secondly, different departments within the factory can invite each other to learn from one another, thereby improving everyone’s overall competence. In fact, conducting training isn’t easy – sometimes even we ourselves don’t know everything, so we discuss it together and look up additional information

I graduated last year and applied for a job at a newly established chemical plant. As part of the first batch of new employees, the company selected a branch of Pingmei Lan Tian Group in Guangshan, Henan, for training in operating the equipment there. At first, there was a month of theoretical courses on methanol, covering topics such as corporate culture and various company regulations, chemical safety knowledge, the coal briquette gas production section, the purification section, the distillation and synthesis section, and water treatment. For each of these sections, the process flows and relevant parameters were explained, along with the operating procedures for specific tasks and their working principles. Additionally, basic knowledge of special equipment, instrumentation, the structure and functioning of common devices, basic knowledge of valves, and basic electrical engineering concepts were taught. The instructors were engineers recruited from within the company. In Henan, individuals and pairs share one master, learning by taking turns under their guidance. I was assigned to the role of chief operator for synthesis processes; I learned about the process flow and control points, the layout of pipelines and fluid flow in the facility, the structure and working principles of equipment and valves, the signs of abnormal situations and how to handle them, as well as the procedures and key aspects involved in normal startup/shutdown and emergency shutdowns. Due to the financial crisis and the sharp drop in methanol prices, the factory where our instructor worked had to shut down for an extended period, which gave us the opportunity to apply theory to practice. After that, the company arranged for our instructor to give lectures, allowing us to learn and reinforce our knowledge; we also engaged in group discussions on two topics each day to better master what we had learned.

It seems like it’s not what the original poster needs, haha. Sorry for the inconvenience
