Industry & Occupation
Classification
- Major : Research and Technical Occupations
- Middle : Manufacturing Engineers
- Minor : Chemical Product Manufacturing Engineers
Summary
Technician who analyzes and evaluates the composition and quality of chemical substances and proposes improvements to the manufacturing process.
Description
Industrial Chemical Analysis Technicians ensure the quality of manufactured industrial chemicals by performing component analysis using techniques such as chromatography, spectroscopic analysis, titration, and mass spectrometry after sample pretreatment (dissolution, dilution, pulverization, etc.). Based on the obtained data, they determine compliance with standards, investigate causes of abnormalities, and propose improvements to the manufacturing process. They collaborate with quality assurance and manufacturing departments to contribute to enhancing product safety and reliability.
Future Outlook
While the introduction of automated equipment progresses, demand remains stable because manual intervention is needed for complex analyses and sample pretreatments. Needs for highly specialized analysis technicians will continue to grow due to stricter environmental regulations and quality standards.
