Summary
Technical position responsible for operating and managing calcium carbide manufacturing equipment, handling processes from raw material charging to calcination and crushing.
Description
Carbide manufacturing engineers use calcium oxide derived from limestone and coke as raw materials, performing high-temperature processing in industrial furnaces such as electric furnaces to produce calcium carbide. After production, the material undergoes cooling, crushing, and screening to adjust the product, ensuring that impurities and particle size meet quality standards. Throughout the process, temperature and pressure control, exhaust gas management, and safety, health, and environmental measures are essential. They also conduct regular equipment inspections and maintenance, troubleshoot issues, analyze quality inspection data, and develop work procedures and manuals, contributing to stable and efficient production.
Future Outlook
Although susceptible to electricity costs and chemical product market fluctuations, demand is expected to be maintained and expanded as raw materials for semiconductor cleaners and new materials.
