Unit of Competency PPMWEO330 - Co-ordinate and implement wet end shutdown
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to shut down wet end operations in both planned and unplanned situations and to record and report shutdown data. The unit applies to production operators and technicians who co-ordinate and implement wet end shutdowns, in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility. This typically involves working in a facility with complex integrated equipment and continuous operations. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following resources must be made available:

access to the full range of chemicals, equipment, and reporting and documentation procedures involved in co-ordinating and implementing the shutdown of wet end operations in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility

fully automated, semi-automated, manually operated plant and equipment appropriate to the wet end process and related consumables

test and diagnostic equipment

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

personal protective equipment required for implementing wet end shutdown

template documents for recording shutdown information.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or in a productive environment that accurately reflects performance in a workplace.

Assessor requirements

Assessors must:

hold the appropriate assessor competency standards as outlined in regulations; and

be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed; and

be able to demonstrate how they are continuing to develop their VET knowledge and skills as well as maintaining their industry currency and assessor competence.

  • Initiate appropriate isolations, identify and locate cause of unplanned shutdown.
  • Rectify, isolate and or contain faulty plant where possible to allow continued production.
  • Follow procedures to shut down process supplies where fault cannot be rectified.
  • Assess effects of unplanned shutdown to determine impact on operations.
  • Communicate unplanned shutdown to appropriate personnel.
       
Element: Record and report shutdown data
  • Record shutdown and corrective action processes.
  • Report shutdown information to relevant personnel.

forming system

pressing systems

cleaning and screening system

types, causes and effects of, and required emergency and other responses to, unplanned wet end system shutdowns including:

power outage

mechanical breakdown

blockages

jamming

air supply

control system failure

methods used to test wet end systems and diagnose faults

organisational procedures:

standard operating procedures specific to wet end shutdown
