Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
High-pressure synthesis workers operate equipment that performs chemical reactions under high pressure to manufacture chemical products and synthetic resins. They handle everything from raw material charging, setting reaction conditions, operation management, product extraction, and post-processing.
Description
High-pressure synthesis workers operate high-pressure reaction equipment (such as autoclaves) to cause synthetic reactions of chemical raw materials under specified conditions. Main duties include measuring and charging raw materials, setting process parameters such as pressure, temperature, and time, monitoring and adjusting conditions during operation, extracting products after reaction and pre-processing, quality analysis by sampling, cleaning and maintenance of equipment, compliance with safety management procedures, and record keeping.
Future Outlook
Due to automation and advancement in chemical manufacturers, demand for technicians proficient in process control and safety management will remain stable. Highly specialized personnel are needed for synthesis and development of high-value-added materials.
