Liquefied Gas Worker
えきかガスこう
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Liquefied gas workers operate, monitor, and maintain plant equipment that cools and compresses natural gas or petroleum gas to liquefy it, ensuring quality and safety.
Description
Liquefied gas workers operate and monitor plants that liquefy gases such as natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) under low temperatures and high pressure, maintaining stable production. Specifically, they use DCS (Distributed Control System) to adjust operating conditions of refrigeration cycles and compressors, and monitor temperature and pressure data. They also collect gas samples, analyze composition and purity using analytical equipment, and perform quality control. They conduct regular equipment inspections and maintenance, and detect and address abnormalities in safety valves and piping early. In emergencies, they promptly shut down operations or take emergency measures, thoroughly complying with laws and preventing accidents.
Future Outlook
With the stabilization of energy supply and demand and the automation of plants, demand for liquefied gas workers is stable and increasing. Opportunities are also expanding into new energy fields such as hydrogen liquefaction toward a decarbonized society.
