Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Worker who decomposes animal/plant-derived or mineral oils and fats through chemical and heat treatment to produce intermediate raw materials such as fatty acids and soap bases.
Description
Raw oil and fat decomposition workers perform hydrolysis and saponification of vegetable oils, animal oils, and mineral oils and fats through chemical reactions to produce fatty acids, soap bases, surfactant raw materials, etc. They handle reaction tank operations, temperature and pressure control, catalyst and alkali addition, and post-reaction neutralization and concentration processes. They also record and analyze process data and conduct quality inspections to maintain product purity and yield. They play a role in supporting efficient production while complying with safety, health management, and environmental regulations.
Future Outlook
Due to strengthened environmental regulations and expansion in bio-raw material use, demand for oil and fat decomposition processing technology is on an increasing trend. With the introduction of automation and remote monitoring technologies, work content is becoming more sophisticated, and demand for quality control and equipment management roles is expected to remain stable.
