Process Technology prepares students to be employed as operators In the process industry.
A chemical process operator works in the safe production, refining and transfer of
various chemicals in three states of matter - solid, liquid and gas. Production is
carried out in reactors and converters. Refining is done in distillation columns,
filter presses, separators and other types of equipment. Chemicals are transferred
through pipelines to shipping containers or storage tanks. In operating equipment,
the operator must observe, interpret and record data from gauges, instruments, computer
displays, log books and laboratory analysis data. The operator will need to make changes
in pressure, flow, temperature, level and other parameters by operating control devices
including valves, switches and levers.
