看看国外的同事们的“怎样做一个好的工艺工程师”？ 我看到一个国外论坛的帖子，感觉很好。这是一个讨论技术的帖子，我原来的想法是给盖德技术板块的一个相似中文帖子找反向灵感的，使浮躁的心情得到一点提示。现在没有那些想法了，贴在这里让大家读一下时下和我们一样的外国同事们的观点。 有兴趣的网友希望你们跟贴翻译一下，建议版主给译者加分，我每天只能加6分。 valene ： i graduated from chemical eng back in 1986 but ended up doing instrumentation sales specializing in control valves/psv's with the fisher/emerson organization for 15 years then moved on to become a instrument engineer with an engineering company for 5 years. the opportunity came & i decided to take up the offer to become a process engineer after 20 years from graduation. i figured this will be something i want to do before the sun sets. it has been a struggle espcially on hysys but other than that it is fun! i would greatly appreciate some guidance from my peers here in this forum what steps should i take to help turn me into a jedi of process engineering or at least a good student....thks johnboyd ： valene, big question; here are some general pointers, no particular order: - bone up on the processes you're responsible for; learn as much as you can re process chemistry, op conditions, etc. - study the pfd's and p&id's. walk the plant/area and notate the difference between design/as-built/existing. you've got to know how your area is laid out. - get tight with production engineers and operators; they know the process like the back of their hands. ask questions; why do they do what they do? - crawl around/inspect equipment during turnarounds. - spend time in the control room/bone up on the dcs. learn what's monitored and where. get proficient at extracting process data. - get tight with maintenance/instrument tech folks; you'll need sensors calibrated at some point. - get proficient doing mass and energy balances for every unit op in the area; you've got to be able to quantify operations and changes/options, etc. - locate/extract performance data/equipment specs for all equipment; you'll need them for the m&e bals. - pay close attention to physical property data and models; without good/applicable data your sim runs are fantasy. - don't neglect the little things; impurities/byproducts can cause headaches even in small amounts. - keep as current as you can with the technical literature. a good start is chem eng progress, hydrocarbon processing and aiche journal. and of course whatever applies to your specific units. - a zillion other things (or seems like it), safety,hazard analyses, environmental regs/permits; you'll know it when it hits you in the face. hope this helps, at least it's a start. good luck. john boyd, pe owg ： johnboyd has provided an excellent list. i would just add one thing. learn some quick methods like those described in chemical engineering magazine "rules of thumb" march 16, 1987. that way when some of the people you are going to be spending time with ask you a question, you can provide an answer without them having to write an engineering work order and wait 6 months. unclesyd ： you have very enviable position in that your experience can be tremendous benefit once you get orientated. you will find that the majority of the people at the new job will be suffering from inside the fence syndrome. the majority of their knowledge would have been developed at on site and most of it by evolutionary steps. there will also be a lot of the nih people, believing that our way is the best way. this is hard to overcome but with the proper timing and actions it can create great opportunities for you. as stated above keeps your eyes and ears open.查看更多
