Gas processing plant supervisor jobs in Finland
Gas processing plant supervisors supervise the processing of gas for utility and energy services by controlling compressors and other processing equipment to ensure standard operation. They supervise the maintenance of the equipment, and perform tests to detect problems or deviations, and to ensure quality.
Gas processing plant supervisor - Which skills are essential?
Optimise and maintain the parameters of the production process such as flow, temperature or pressure.
Schedule the production aiming maximum profitability while still maintaining the company KPIs in cost, quality, service and innovation.
The processes used to remove water from natural gas such as the absorption process using glycol or activated alumina.
The processes used to remove contaminants such as mercury, nitrogen and helium from natural gas; the techniques such as activated carbon and molecular sieves and the recovery of the removed material if it is commercially viable.
Grip gas cylinders in a safe manner and ensure they are compliant with safety and health regulations.
Test the purity of the gas using specific testing equipment.
Document on paper or on electronic devices the process and the results of the samples analysis performed.
The various qualities, hazards and applications of gaseous fuels, such as oxy-acetylene, oxy-gasoline, oxy-hydrogen and others.
Tend the gas compression engines by starting them, monitoring the process of gas compression and performing small maintenance tasks.
Ensure the necessary, usually constant, pressure of gas which is part of a machine or tool, such as torching equipment, used to process metal workpieces during metal fabrication processes.
Perform the testing procedures on the already prepared chemical samples, by using the necessary equipment and materials. Chemical sample testing involves operations such as pipetting or diluting schemes.
Operate the equipment used for oxygen and nitrogen extraction equipment such as compressors, fractionating columns, heat exchangers and purifying towers.
Use the laboratory equipment such as Atomic Absorption equimpent, PH and conductivity meters or salt spray chambre.
Ensure that the equipment required for operations is regularly checked for faults, that routine maintenance tasks are performed, and that repairs are scheduled and performed in the case of damage or flaws.
Monitor and accordingly adjust the valves in order to allow a specific amount of liquids (such as ammonia sulfuric acid or viscous soap) or steam into the mixer or machine.
Gas processing plant supervisor - Which skills are useful but not essential?
Monitor activities and perform tasks ensuring compliance with standards involving environmental protection and sustainability, and amend activities in the case of changes in environmental legislation. Ensure that the processes are compliant with environment regulations and best practices.
Walk flow lines to identify damage or leaks; use electronic detection equipment and conduct visual inspections.
Operate pumping equipment; oversee gas and oil transport from wellheads to refineries or storage facilities.
The trends and major driving factors in the gas trading market, gas trades methodologies and practice, and the identification of the major stakeholders in the gas sector.
Use the chromatography data system software which collects and analyses the chromatography detectors results.
Identify, report and repair equipment damage and malfunctions; communicate with field representatives and manufacturers to obtain repair and replacement components.
Make an agreement with the customer about product repair and perform appropriate actions to ensure repair.
Read gas measuring meter, recording the relevant information such as the amounts of gas dispensed and received.
Check the impact of manufacturing machinery on the environment, analysing temperature levels, water quality and air pollution.
Be aware of common processes used to separate heavier hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane and butane from the methane, which is the finished product of the gas processing plant. Be aware of oil absorption techniques, cryogenic expansion processes, and other relevant processes.
Evaluate how much stock is used and determine what should be ordered.
The various facets of natural gas: its extraction, processing, constituents, uses, environmental factors, etc.
The principles of gas chromatography used to analyse and separate specific compounds which go to vaporisation without decomposition.
Have an understanding of the processes used to separate natural gas liquids or NGLs into its constituents, including ethand, propane, butane, and heavier hydrocarbons. Understand the workings of the deethaniser, depropaniser, debutaniser, and butane splitter.
Manage or dispose of significant amounts of waste materials or hazardous materials. Ensure required licenses and permits are in place and reasonable management practices, industry standards, or commonly accepted farming practices followed.
Continuously check up on the automated machine's set-up and execution or make regular control rounds. If necessary, record and interpret data on the operating conditions of installations and equipment in order to identify abnormalities.
Know about pipeline transport regulations and their application in pipeline fields. Apply pipeline transport regulations in the construction of new sites.
Manage the procedures to be used in chemical testing by designing them and conducting tests accordingly.
Apply the knowledge of polymer characterization and liquid chromatography in the development of new products.
Conduct routine maintenance on equipment. Recognise and identify minor defects in equipment and make repairs if appropriate.
Know various types of pipelines and their different usages. Differentiate between pipelines used to transport goods over short and long distances, and understand their respective feeding systems.
Write reports on the manufactured batches history taking into account the raw data, tests performed and compliance to GMP of each batch of product.
Ensure that products are stored appropriately. Keep in line with safety procedures.
Operate the equipment used in hydrogen extraction and processing.
Manage the reports and technical documentation such as Standard Operating Procedures or logbooks, by writing and reviewing them, capturing and eliminating any deviation and ambiguity.
Prepare the specific samples such as gas, liquid or solid samples in order for them to be ready for analysis, labeling and storing samples according to specifications.
