How many positions should be established for a set of hydrogenation units?
Thread Content
Friends in the team, please share information about the personnel in your positions! We are a small refinery with a capacity of 2 million tons; it has one diesel-based hydrogen production system and one natural gas-based hydrogen production system. There are two operators for the internal processes and four for the external processes. Apart from those who take turns off work, for a long period of time there are two operators working on the internal processes and three on the external ones. Does this meet the requirements of job design and safe production?
With fewer people around, you can’t tell if anything goes wrong; but when an accident does occur, there’s no way to handle everything at once.
Two for gasoline hydrogenation, three for the outside

Daily inspections, sampling, liquid removal, unit switching, instrument calibration, maintenance of degassing and prevention equipment, as well as addressing substandard conditions – all these tasks leave the field workers exhausted; in summer, their underwear never even dries, and they still find it fun! It seems like this guy isn’t good at doing operations! :L
Two internal operators, four external operators, one team leader; one of the internal operators also serves as the deputy team leader, which is acceptable. Multiple points are also okay.
I also work shift work. When I say you should be happy about it, I mean that since there’s a chance for rest days, the workload isn’t that heavy. What if there are no rest days? Who hasn’t worked the night shift? I have been in charge for 7 or 8 years now; it’s really tough!
There is a shortage of staff. That’s how private enterprises are managed.
We handle 1 million tons of hydrogenation work: four people in total, including the shift leader who also acts as an operator, plus one female operator, and two external operators, one male and one female. There’s also a time off period; during the day, there are only three people, and sometimes it’s just one man and two women – it’s really depressing to see that. The night shift still runs from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. In case of an issue, only the critical aspects need to be addressed; as long as there’s no fire or explosion, wait until the interlock system stops working before asking someone to turn it on slowly.
There are too few people! Don’t you need to be responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the area and the equipment?
Most people outsource it, right?~~~
