nitroglycerin separator operator

monitor nitroglycerin flow

Monitor the flow of nitroglycerin so that when the colour changes the product will be discharged in the tanks according to specifications.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

separate nitroglycerin from acids

Separate nitroglycerin and acids prior to processing using the gravity separator.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

store spent acids

Store spent acids, transferring them from batch nitrator to separator using the petcock.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

monitor centrifugal separators

Operating and monitoring centrifugal separators.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

monitor tank thermometer

Monitor the tank in order to prevend explosion or decomposition due to an accumulation of heat.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

operate raw mineral separation equipment

Operate a variety of machinery used to separate raw mineral for further processing based on size of particles or chemical composition. Work with screens, flotation cells, spirals, jigs, drums and cyclones.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

segregate raw materials

Segregate into batches the raw materials to be further processed.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

operate gas extraction equipment

Operate the equipment used for oxygen and nitrogen extraction equipment such as compressors, fractionating columns, heat exchangers and purifying towers.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

optimise production processes parameters

Optimise and maintain the parameters of the production process such as flow, temperature or pressure.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

explosives

Behaviour of explosives, pyrotechnics and blasting techniques. Associated risks and legal requirements.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

hazardous waste storage

Usage Competence references ESCO source

test nitroglycerin mixture

Test the washed mixture in order to determine if it became neutral. In case the chemical indicator (such as the litmus) shows the mixture not to be neutral, the washing process needs to restart.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

dispose of chemicals

Dispose of chemicals and treatments safely according to site waste management procedures.

green

Usage Competence references ESCO source

drain hazardous liquids

Drain substances which pose health and safety risks from equipment, appliances or installations in order to store the liquids according to safety guidelines and dispose or treat them as required.

green

Usage Competence references ESCO source

draw off wash water

Draw off the washing water by opening the drain cock after making sure the mixture has settled.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

dump contents into vat

Dump the content into vat filled with water in order to avoid explosion when the heat accumulation is too high.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

fill the vat with specific ingredients

Fill the vat with the necessary ingredients for acid neutralisation starting with warm water and steam of air and finishing with soda ash.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

operate explosives production equipment

Operate equipment used for mixing of chemical ingredients having as their end product explosives such as TNT, tetryl or nitroglycerin.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

tend vats following a nitration process

Tend the vats by neutralising the remaining acids of the nitration process using warm water.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

transfer chemicals

Transfer the chemical mixture from the mixing tank to the storage tank by turning on the valves.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

dispose of non-hazardous waste

Dispose of waste materials which pose no risk to health and safety in a manner which complies with recycling and waste management procedures except for waste incineration.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

handle chemicals

Safely handle industrial chemicals; use them efficiently and ensure that no harm is done to the environment.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

sort waste

Manually or automatically sort waste by separating it into its different elements.

Usage Competence references ESCO source
