Basic Operational Techniques in Catalytic Reforming Units

My article from 3 years ago; I hope it can be helpful to you. Internal training – training the mind. We are currently preparing for the selection of personnel for this type of training, which has sparked great enthusiasm among those who hold relevant positions. Let me talk about my understanding of internal operation: As someone responsible for the internal operation of a plant, it is first necessary to be familiar with the plant’s process flow. Understanding this flow doesn’t mean simply knowing where the pipes are; what’s most important is to remember where the valves are located, where the temperature and pressure gauges are situated, what parameters they measure, and who is responsible for controlling and adjusting them. During normal production, the production tasks for the products of this process are completed in accordance with the process requirements ； Ensure that product output and quality meet the standards. Keep records in accordance with quality and process requirements ； Meet the production volume according to the production plan ； Identify abnormalities in the production process in a timely manner and coordinate their resolution. In other words, under normal conditions, control the key parameters while also taking into account the general parameters ； Under abnormal conditions, understand the handling principles while also taking into account the procedures for handling them ； Act promptly in the event of an accident to prevent it from worsening. Doing internal tasks is very monotonous; constantly watching the dials can easily lead to boredom, but you aren’t allowed to do anything else as a form of entertainment, and that is quite important. Only by being able to endure loneliness and keeping responsibilities in mind can one identify problems in a timely manner and nip potential risks in the bud. As a beginner, one should be cautious, but not overly fearful. The actual operation is much more complex than simulation, but without taking action, progress is impossible. I have some tips for beginners: 1. As a new employee, you should be humble and ask experienced colleagues for advice; they will tell you the key points to keep in mind. 2. One should be more attentive, observe how others do things, and take lots of notes. Keep a work diary while operating, recording the parameter values you use as well as the opening degree of the control valves. Over time, you will gain a clear understanding of things; only by having confidence can you avoid feeling nervous! 3. It’s crucial to keep an eye on the clock. Mobile phones have very powerful functions these days, so don’t focus only on your phone and ignore the DCS – remember this well. 4. Beginners who find it difficult to keep an eye on multiple screens at the same time should not lose heart. It’s like this at the beginning; one needs to put in more effort over time, and remember some important key data by heart. That way, it’s much easier to distinguish between what’s important and what isn’t. It’s actually a process that requires time to develop. 5. As an operator, an excellent operator doesn’t encounter many major issues on a regular basis; what’s most important is the ability to handle emergencies. In such situations, one must remain calm, think clearly, promptly assess the scope of the impact of the accident, and be able to take the right actions. In an emergency situation, you are the brain of this device; it operates based on your instructions. To be honest, it’s very difficult to become an excellent operator, and the pressure is also quite high. I believe that after some time of training, everyone will be able to become an excellent internal operator.

It's inspiring! ! :):) I don’t really understand having goals right now

After working on restructuring projects for four years, I have a few insights: 1. It is essential to be very familiar with the restructuring process. One must not only be familiar with the relevant parameters of the device but also with the conditions at the site. Never waste this time during each inspection; it can be used to go over the procedures again or to get familiar with any changes at the site. 2. Communicate with more people. Learn more from the workshop supervisor and technical staff*. Pay attention in daily life to which parameters they care about and why they care about them. Of course, it is even more important to learn from senior employees, as they possess extensive practical experience. 3. Keep a work diary every day. Keeping a record of what happens each day, along with your own reflections, will help you improve rapidly. Of course, there are still many things that one needs to experience and understand gradually on their own. I hope you have success in your work and achieve success soon.
