Operate and control odour removal processes

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills required to monitor, operate and control odour removal processes and to report on process performance, with the ability to identify faults and apply technical adjustments.

This unit applies to those working as operational staff with a specific responsibility for odour removal processes.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit would work under supervision, performing routine tasks within a familiar context.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENTS

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section.

1. Monitor odour removal processes

1.1 Monitor test results and processes to maintain the parameters of operation.

1.2 Identify and report faults and the operational condition of the process.

2. Operate odour removal processes

2.1 Correctly select, fit and use required safety equipment, including personal protective equipment.

2.2 Carry out routine plant inspections.

2.3 Conduct process tests and compare performance to operational requirements.

2.4 Make process adjustments to optimise system performance.

3. Complete documentation

3.1 Collect and record process data

3.2 Report observations outside defined parameters for further action.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. The candidate must be assessed in at least one of the processes listed in the Range of Conditions. If not otherwise specified the candidate must demonstrate evidence of performance of the following on at least one occasion.

operating odour control equipment

identifying control system faults

monitoring test results and processes

identifying and reporting faults

conducting routine plant inspections

taking samples and performing basic tests

making basic process adjustments according to instructions

collecting data and completing required documentation

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the depth of knowledge demonstrated must be appropriate to the job context of the candidate.

system layout

lockout procedures for mechanical and electrical installations

interpretation and use of safety data sheets (SDS)

environmental aspects of odour removal processes

biological principles of odour removal processes

risk factors and potential hazards

equipment operation, capacity and limitations

condition of pipes, valves, pumps and fittings

Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.


Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
