Unit of Competency | PMAOPS202B - Operate fluid mixing equipment |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This competency covers the operation of the range of fluid mixers found in fluid processing plants. This competency is typically performed by all operators using mixing equipment. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | In a typical scenario an operator uses a baffled mixing tank (or other mixer) to make a product to specification. This covers the loading of liquid and perhaps solid materials into the mixing equipment. In this example the operator monitors the mixing to ensure the components are dispersed appropriately and checks the resulting product to ensure it complies.This unit does not cover mixing which is part of the preparation of materials (see PMAOPS105C Select and prepare materials) nor the incidental mixing which occurs in a reaction vessel (see PMAOPS220B Monitor chemical reactions in the process or PMAOPS302B Operate reactors and reactor systems) or in-line mixers (see PMAOPS201B Operate fluid flow equipment).3The operator would:identify and report operational problemsbe aware of and contribute to a safe working environmentcontribute to the safe and productive operation of the equipmentoperate, monitor and maintain equipment using relevant procedures.Generally the operator would be part of a team during start up and shut down procedures and would be expected to be capable of demonstrating competence in all parts of this unit. At all times they would be liaising and cooperating with other members of the team. | ||
