What should new employees in chemical process engineering learn on-site?

2009-03-06View Original

Thread Content

The company organizes new employees who have been with the company for about a year to go to chemical production sites for practical training, for a period of around half a month. How can we make use of this valuable opportunity to learn something about process design? Thank you

Learn about the process flow of the field equipment and its operation procedures; ask the experienced workers on site for more information if you don’t understand something.

The main thing is to become familiar with the production process; one should also consider whether there are other methods, and ask experienced workers more questions regarding equipment selection. Experience is very important

Take a look at the equipment’s manufacturing process. There are often things I don’t understand or have doubts about, so I should ask the experienced workers more questions. Since I’m at the factory, it’s of course necessary to see the actual processing steps; the physical components are very important. Design is one thing, while processing is another – seeing it in person is beneficial for understanding the process design. It’s especially useful to be able to communicate with the workers, and it’s even better to go there with specific questions

I can be considered an experienced operator; just ask me

First, take a look at the plant equipment layout diagram to get an idea of the names and locations of the equipment. Then, learn about each device and its working principle one by one, taking notes; it’s a good idea to take photos as well. If there are things you don’t understand, you can ask experienced technicians and engineers for help:loveliness:. The order in which you visit the facilities should follow the flow of processes within the plant, as this will make it easier to understand the function of each device

After becoming familiar with the process flow diagram, compare it with what you see on site to understand how the equipment and pipelines are arranged there. Also, seek advice from experienced workers – experience is very important.

Familiarize yourself with the equipment and processes; learn about the work system and salary benefits. Observe more, ask questions often, and avoid making hasty decisions!

Learning the manufacturing process and the operation procedures of equipment is very important; ask lots of questions, observe carefully, and consult experienced workers when you don’t understand something.

On the one hand, one must learn the technological processes and control principles of the *position; on the other hand, one must learn the professionalism of the experienced masters.

There’s a severe lack of theory in textbooks; this is precisely the flaw in our **education system. The things we learn were from 10 years ago or even longer. If I were the head of the **Ministry of Education, I would turn all those colleges and universities into technical schools – then it would be no problem to find a job after graduation. It’s not like now, where graduating from university means facing unemployment. Sorry, I got carried away and strayed from the topic. Back to the topic at hand: there is a huge difference between theory and practice, and I’m not exaggerating at all. Go to the factory to learn, ask questions frequently, observe how things are arranged on site, examine the production processes there, figure out where valves need to be installed and where backflow preventers are required, and so on. There’s much that cannot be learned from books. Never risk your youth for the future; just a few days of learning will pass quickly, but if you manage to acquire more knowledge than others, you’ll have more opportunities when looking for a job. One more piece of advice: never be impatient, and don’t treat yourself as some kind of elite college student. Start from scratch, putting in effort both physically and mentally; only then will others or your supervisors start to regard you with respect. (After all, there are still more good people out there O(∩_∩)O). No matter when, if you believe in something, avoid being lazy and be diligent with your efforts; effort will surely pay off for you. Conclusion: Today’s college graduates can’t find jobs; it fits that saying that one has to bear the consequences of their own actions. They’re bad at everything they try, never have enough of anything, and have more temper than anyone else. A few days ago, my company dismissed two employees from Fushun Petroleum. It’s not that I look down on college graduates; I’m one myself. I’m just someone who’s been through it, offering some advice to the newcomers. I’m so excited; without realizing it, I wrote so much. I hope it can be of some help to you. Wish you success

I think that since they have been working for over a year, they must already have some understanding of basic chemical knowledge, as well as proficiency in process-related and practical skills. Visiting other manufacturers for study aims mainly to learn from their strengths to compensate for one’s own weaknesses and absorb their best practices. So first, it’s necessary to understand the specific manufacturing process of that factory and to see the actual equipment used in that process. Design is one thing, but reality is another. Look, it will be beneficial for process design. Secondly, one can discuss and learn from their own weaknesses as well as from their mentors, seeking guidance on aspects of the process that they are not very familiar with. It would be better to go with questions.

Understand the performance and quality of the equipment, the areas where abnormalities are likely to occur, and how to handle them. Understand the material flow, and pay attention to safety as well.

Well said, haha. What the seniors said makes a lot of sense; I’ve learned a great deal from it. Thank you :)

I’ve learned something~~! ! ! It’s extremely beneficial for graduates who have just started working~! ! !

Of course, it is necessary to make use of the theoretical knowledge learned, combine it with the actual conditions of the workplace, observe and think more, become familiar with the production methods used there, relate them to the current production practices in that industry, and draw on relevant experience

This issue cannot be explained in just a few words, but to summarize what the members upstairs have said, this is what you need to know..

I think one needs to be diligent in three aspects; first is to study diligently; Second, one should ask frequently ; Third, one must be active on foot.

There is so much to learn, such as process principles, procedures, equipment, instruments, and operations; if you don’t understand something, ask the experienced workers! ! !

Based on my experience since starting work, the theoretical knowledge taught in schools is quite different from what happens in the workplace. Educational reform is highly necessary; it must keep pace with reality, especially since vocational education in our country is still quite inadequate.
