Pilot Plant Process control & Operation - RDC

A. Purpose /Essential Role: Describe in ONE phrase what contribution the job is expected to make to the organisation’s objectives

  • Planning and execution of Polymerization trials in pilot plant. Support global and local rubber efficiency improvement and modification projects.

B. Environment/Context/Complexity of the job: Describe the most important internal and external factors influencing the job

Set up the proper procedure for various pilot plant activities, prepare SOP and keep records

The quality of the produced rubber can change if the proper SOP is not followed in addition to this there is a risk of reaction failure and off grade is produced.
