Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A field worker in chemical manufacturing who synthesizes carbide products such as calcium carbide in electric furnaces and provides them as industrial raw materials or intermediates.
Description
Carbide manufacturing workers are primarily responsible for synthesizing calcium carbide inside electric furnaces. They accurately carry out a series of processes in accordance with work instruction manuals, from raw material blending and weighing, monitoring of electric furnace temperature and pressure, product quality inspection, to crushing, packaging, and shipping preparation. Since the work involves high-temperature and high-pressure environments, compliance with safety and security regulations and regular equipment inspections are essential.
Future Outlook
While calcium carbide has steady demand as an industrial gas and chemical raw material, the market is shrinking due to the spread of alternative materials and environmental regulations. Applications to high-value-added products and the introduction of process efficiency technologies are required.
