Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A technical role responsible for operating and maintaining a chemical plant that electrolyzes brine to produce chlorine gas, including washing, drying, and compression processes.
Description
Chlorine manufacturing workers use the brine electrolysis method (such as the ion exchange membrane method and mercury method) to generate chlorine gas, and handle washing, drying, and compression to prepare it for supply. They adjust process conditions like current, voltage, and flow rates using operation panels or DCS, and manage the quality of the generated gas. They also conduct regular equipment inspections and maintenance, emergency responses during abnormalities, safety device checks, gas leak monitoring, quality analysis, and thorough safety management based on work procedures and legal regulations.
Future Outlook
Demand for chlorine remains steady due to stable supply and demand for sewage and water treatment and chemical products. Demand for process engineers is expected to expand with plant renewal due to aging, digitalization, and introduction of energy-saving technologies.
