Overview
Process Operator role at INEOS Phenol in Pasadena, TX. Responsibilities
Load product into tank trucks and railcars and unload raw materials from tank trucks and railcars. Monitor process utilities such as cooling water, air compressors, and wastewater treatment. Manipulate valve lineups to transfer chemicals. Purge and clear process lines as required. Walk out transfers to ensure no leaks or spills. Take daily readings on process parameters such as levels, pressures, and temperatures. Prepare equipment for maintenance activities. Work with engineers to update or create procedures. Monitor and control process equipment and machinery using a DCS to meet production goals safely and effectively in accordance with company policies, safety, health, and environmental rules, and ensure the quality of raw materials and product. Confer with peers, technical and supervisory personnel to report or resolve conditions affecting safety, efficiency and product quality. Make shift relief at the beginning and end of each shift. Keep a daily log for work area. Feed specified amounts of materials into vessels or tanks; turn valves to feed liquid and gaseous materials; or set controls in specified sequence to start automatic feed. Turn valves or move controls to maintain system at specified temperature and pressure. Observe chemical reactions; monitor gauges, signals, and recorders; and make specified operating adjustments on equipment such as pumps, compressors, reactors, distillation columns, and heat exchangers. Draw samples of products for laboratory analysis. Use GCs and other lab equipment to analyze samples. Maintain log of gauge readings and shift production. Inspect the plant area for leaks and hazards, record gauge readings, and ensure safe operation. Prepare equipment safely for maintenance work and use appropriate tools and personal protective equipment. Maintain up-to-date certifications, qualifications, and training records based on INEOS operator progression policy. Assist in Emergency Response situations; fire brigade participation is required.
