I’m a beginner in chemical process design, and my mentor said he would take me to the site. What should I pay attention to? What does it look like on site? :)
Be careful, observe more and act less, ask questions often, and think diligently.
Safety must come first; secondly, it’s important to observe and think carefully, as after all, learning is the main reason for going to the site in the first place!
Look more, move less, think more, ask more
If one is a designer, being able to compare the drawings and identify the differences between them and the actual reality is what makes them an expert.
It’s part of the design – it’s not easy to make changes once everything has been set up. It’s best to develop a sense of the actual site: whether there is enough space for maintenance after the equipment is installed, and whether there is sufficient operating space after the pipelines are arranged. The difference between drawings and the actual site lies in the fact that drawings are two-dimensional while the actual site is three-dimensional; therefore, a sense of space is quite important
First, put on the protective gear! Safety first! When you first start, you should observe more, think more, ask more questions, and get your hands moving (not in terms of performing actual operations on site). You also need to carefully study the procedures and take a close look at the flowcharts! When operating, start with the valves whose adjustment is not critical to get a feel for them! Note: The valves in the gas line must be opened slowly! Remember!
First, you need to learn in advance*; you have to know what you’re going there to do Read some relevant books and materials in advance. And be prepared to focus on the area you want to learn about; go there with specific questions in mind, knowing what you need to look at and what to record. It’s a good idea to bring a notebook to jot down all your questions. Also, stay quiet, be humble, observe more and speak less at the site, and be polite. After returning, make sure to write down your thoughts and experiences and share them with others
Be safe; Find out in advance the issues and equipment that need to be checked on site ; When arriving at the site, wear the required work clothes and safety helmet, follow the instructions, and do not wander around on your own ; Read more and ask more questions.
Beginners should avoid moving around too much, as they are usually not very familiar with the process and need to learn carefully from the experienced workers*.
Safety first; ask plenty of questions and observe carefully. Before going to the site, it’s necessary to understand the manufacturing process, otherwise one won’t be able to see anything clearly or ask meaningful questions. In short, go there well-prepared.
I don’t think it’s necessary for newcomers to go to the site; they should first design a few projects and then go to the site once problems are identified.
Safety first; talk more (ask questions) and act less. Also be diligent – if the master thinks you’re lazy, that’s trouble
Safety first. As for what to look at on site, first understand the equipment you are going to examine and be familiar with the process flow; it would be good if you can identify the main process pipelines on site. As for many detailed aspects, generally you only think of going to the site to take a look when you encounter them in your work.
Be careful, ask questions frequently, think critically. Before going, study the drawings to understand the production process and the structure of the equipment. Combine what you see on site with the drawings, apply theory to practice in order to identify problems, and seek advice from your instructor
I was about to say that safety comes first, but I saw that many forum members had already mentioned it. Safety comes first; observe more and move less. If you are at a construction site, try to stay under the supervision of a supervisor. There are many uncertainties at the site, so be sure to pay attention to safety.
Safety comes first; once again, it’s necessary to learn on-site* – one should have an understanding of the process flow before going there, and pay close attention to observe and remember more. When following the teacher, it is essential to understand some of the key parts clearly.

1. Safety first; protective gear must be worn when going to the site; 2. First, understand the general situation of the chemical process site (process flow, equipment setup, etc.), and think about how you would design it if it were your task Only by approaching learning with certain questions can one gain something from it ; 3. Wear the necessary equipment: pens, notebooks, digital cameras, locators, and other devices that provide data for design purposes ; 4. Master the specifications and standards for chemical process design, listen to explanations from experienced workers on site, and by relying on these specifications and standards, gradually move from understanding individual chemical process systems to grasping the entire chemical process flow ; 5. Communicate with operators and on-site technical personnel at the site regarding the chemical process flow, in order to gain a deeper understanding of this process.
