Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that operates production equipment for formalin (formaldehyde aqueous solution), manufacturing products through oxidation reactions of raw materials, distillation, and purification.
Description
Formalin manufacturing workers oxidize methanol in a catalytic reactor, absorb the generated gas into water, and produce high-purity formalin through distillation and neutralization processes. They operate manufacturing equipment, manage temperature and pressure, perform quality inspections and safety management, and adjust so that the product's concentration and impurity levels meet specifications. Since they handle chemical substances, they comply with legal regulations regarding hazardous materials handling and are also responsible for equipment inspections and maintenance.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor reduction in manufacturing processes advance due to strengthened safety and environmental regulations, the demand for formalin remains stable, so the need for highly specialized personnel as equipment technicians will continue.
