Industry & Occupation
Classification
- Major : Research and Technical Occupations
- Middle : Manufacturing Engineers
- Minor : Chemical Product Manufacturing Engineers
Summary
Involved in the manufacturing processes of inorganic chemical products, handling raw material input, reaction control, separation, drying, quality inspection, etc., to produce products safely and stably as a technical role.
Description
Inorganic chemical manufacturing technicians are on-site technicians who manufacture inorganic chemical products using physicochemical processes. They operate and monitor a series of processes from raw material input to reaction control, separation and purification, and drying using plant equipment, while performing quality control tests and data recording. In the event of equipment trouble, they analyze the cause and implement prompt countermeasures. Since work involves hazardous materials and high-temperature/high-pressure conditions, compliance with safety rules and laws is required, along with work in clean rooms and using protective gear. Shift work is common, and teamwork is essential.
Future Outlook
The inorganic chemical industry is expected to see steady growth with the expanding demand for functional materials for semiconductor materials and environmental technologies. Demand will increase for technicians skilled in process improvements for energy conservation and compliance with environmental regulations.
