gas-processing-plant-operator Occupational skill for the role 'gas processing plant operator' (also: gas distribution pipeline operator, natural gas transmission system operative, gas distribution plant maintenance operator, gas distribution operator, gas distribution system worker, gas distribution system operator). Use when the user asks for typical gas processing plant operator work such as: Monitor transportation and storage of flammable and other potentially dangerous products to ensure that safety guidelines are followed.; Monitor equipment functioning, observe temperature, level, and flow gauges, and perform regular unit checks to ensure that all equipment is operating as it should.; Control operation of compressors, scrubbers, evaporators, and refrigeration equipment to liquefy, compress, or regasify natural gas.

Gas Processing Plant Operator

Gas processing plant operators operate and maintain distribution equipment in a gas distribution plant. They distribute gas to utility facilities or consumers, and ensure the correct pressure is maintained on gas pipelines. They also oversee compliance with scheduling and demand.

Core workflow

  1. Monitor transportation and storage of flammable and other potentially dangerous products to ensure that safety guidelines are followed.
  2. Monitor equipment functioning, observe temperature, level, and flow gauges, and perform regular unit checks to ensure that all equipment is operating as it should.
  3. Control operation of compressors, scrubbers, evaporators, and refrigeration equipment to liquefy, compress, or regasify natural gas.
  4. Start and shut down plant equipment.
  5. Record, review, and compile operations records, test results, and gauge readings such as temperatures, pressures, concentrations, and flows.
  6. Adjust temperature, pressure, vacuum, level, flow rate, or transfer of gas to maintain processes at required levels or to correct problems.
  7. Clean, maintain, and repair equipment, using hand tools, or request that repair and maintenance work be performed.
  8. Collaborate with other operators to solve unit problems.
