Nitroglycerin Neutraliser Stationary Plant & Machine Operators

Adhere to standards of hygiene and safety established by respective authorities.

Document on paper or on electronic devices the process and the results of the samples analysis performed.

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

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.

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.

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

Make use of protection equipment according to training, instruction and manuals. Inspect the equipment and use it consistently.

Write reports on the manufactured batches history taking into account the raw data, tests performed and compliance to GMP of each batch of product.

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

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

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

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 …

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

Communicate testing information such as testing schedules, samples testing statistics and test results, to the relevant departments.

Use the laboratory equipment such as Atomic Absorption equimpent, PH and conductivity meters or salt spray chambre.

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

Prepare the solution for soda-ash following the specified formula.

Tend agitation machine ensuring that there is a uniform agitation of the batch.
