How do I learn about hydrocracking of wax oil?
Thread Content
It has been half a year since I graduated and started working; I was assigned to the paraffin oil hydrocracking unit. After working in the field for half a year, I studied the process flow and learned some of the routine tasks such as sampling, pump operation, and liquid removal. Then I felt very confused; the team leader wouldn’t let me join the internal training exercises. Seeing the new recruits who came with me participate in those exercises for some time put a lot of pressure on me. I don’t know how to start learning or what to learn either. Could the seniors give me some advice? {:9004:}
It’s still necessary to be thoroughly familiar with the device’s operating procedures; whether working in coordination with the main controller or conducting inspections, one must be able to immediately locate the relevant points on site. When there is no further need for on-site adjustments in coordination with the master controller, one must consider what problems have arisen on the control panel that necessitate such adjustments. It’s essential to be aware of the operating conditions of the pumps and motors, as well as their sounds; any abnormalities should be detected promptly. There are also various processes – short and long cycle processes, as well as processes for determining pass or fail – all of which can be changed accurately in one go
Master the details of the operation process, understand how to sequence the operations, identify potential risks, determine whether it affects other products, and be familiar with procedures for handling abnormalities and on-site issues. After that, become acquainted with the internal operations; at this point, one should have a good understanding of this device
It’s only been half a year since you started working, so there’s no need to rush. Get fully familiar with the processes and equipment first; actually, there isn’t that much to learn in terms of operational tasks. When doing work, always think about why we do it this way and what kind of situations might occur during internal operations. Ask a colleague to take photos of the screen while you are working, and when you have time, look at them to see what operations are being performed within the system. If it were you, just adjust those areas.
In less than half a year, I’ll be officially on the job. . If I mess it up at the time, I’ll probably get scolded
Senpai, what exactly are the details of the process you mentioned? At the moment, I’m checking the process flow – mainly the direction of fluid flow, as well as the tag numbers and on-site locations of the control valves. What else should I check in more detail?
Thank you, senior, for your guidance. Sometimes I get really lazy; I don’t want to do anything or learn anything at all. I feel completely lost in those moments.
Working in a refinery essentially involves following certain processes; if you know all the procedures involved in the plant by heart, there’s nothing that can’t be done. But be sure to make use of it; don’t just memorize it! Another thing is the ability to think independently. Every time you receive a task, think about why you are doing it. Think about whether you have the ability to operate independently—for example, fixing defective lines, initiating the startup process, and knowing what to do first and then what to do after a shutdown. Also, it’s essential to read some professional books. In fact, everyone’s level is more or less the same; by reading such books, you’ll at least be able to use professional terms in conversations, which will impress others and make them view you differently. Also, take the extra step when working; don’t just do whatever the supervisor says. For example, if the team leader asks you to inject steam, do the condensate drainage as well after you finish injecting the steam. Walkie-talkie: “Sergeant, the steam has been introduced, and the liquid has been drained.” Walkie-talkies are very important; all the supervisors keep them on. They often assess who is doing what work and how well it’s being done through this means. I hope this helps you.
I’m a bit devious; I give gifts and make efforts to secure the deal—it’s bound to succeed, right? Even if you’re not familiar with the procedures, you can still handle the internal operations. However, the company has to take on the risks involved. With guidance from an experienced mentor, you should be able to get everything running smoothly in less than a month. As for the rest, take it one step at a time
I hope everyone can join in the exchange and learning*
The short and long cycle processes mainly refer to the cycle of the reaction system and the cycle of the distillation system, right?
