Selection of refining plant units
Thread Content
I’m a college student who works at a petrochemical plant. The plant is divided into three main areas: oil refining, aromatics, and chemical manufacturing. We will soon be able to choose which unit to work in, and I would like to ask those who are more experienced – which part of that unit would be a good choice for me? After making the choice, how do I start learning*? Where should I begin? Thank you all! ! !
Everyone, please give me some advice. Thank you!
Are you responsible for operating the equipment, or for the maintenance and management of instruments? If it’s instruments, it can be done in any type of installation; the types of instruments and their operational characteristics are more or less similar. The only difference is that one might choose an installation with a cleaner or better environment for instrument maintenance, but there will be fewer tasks and less knowledge to acquire. On the other hand, if the environment for instrument operation is poor, there will be more tasks and more knowledge to learn – each option has its advantages and disadvantages. If you’re in charge of operating them, there’s really not much difference between these devices
Your specialty is instrumentation. It depends on how you plan your professional career; this is just some guidance – choose based on the distribution of key equipment. To give an example, for the gas turbines used in old factories, after a young mechanic mastered the technology, he went straight to work for the manufacturer in charge of after-sales service, traveling around the world; he started earning in euros as early as 2003. The young technician became proficient in the entire control system of the turbine, MAKE IV; the factory arranged a job for his wife, and he was promoted to assistant general manager the year before last. I became proficient in TPS, then changed jobs to work in instrumentation engineering; after many twists and turns, I’m now stuck doing on-site maintenance. Personal opinion, for reference only
Aromatic hydrocarbons are highly toxic; unmarried young people should avoid them. . . . .
Hello, I am in charge of on-site maintenance. However, the factory area is still an empty lot – no construction has taken place yet. Could you please advise me on which device would be a good choice? Thank you!
Thank you so much for your advice! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Hello, I am in charge of on-site maintenance. At present, the factory site is still an empty area with no construction yet. Our chemical processing units include MTBE units, isomerization units, C3/IC4 mixed dehydrogenation units, polypropylene units, and alkylation units. Which of these units would be the best place for me to go? Please give some advice. Thank you!
