What is a day pyrolysis operator?

A Day Pyrolysis operator is responsible for overseeing and managing the pyrolysis process during the daytime shift. Pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition process that breaks down organic materials, such as plastic or biomass, at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen to produce fuel, gas, or other valuable byproducts. Operators monitor equipment, ensure safety protocols, maintain optimal operating conditions, and troubleshoot any issues that arise during the process. They also record data, perform routine maintenance, and ensure that environmental and quality standards are met.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a day pyrolysis operator?

To thrive as a Pyrolysis Plant Operator, you need a solid understanding of chemical processes, mechanical aptitude, and typically a background in engineering or industrial operations. Familiarity with control systems, safety protocols, and certifications such as HAZMAT or OSHA are commonly required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for maintaining safety and efficiency. These competencies ensure proper plant functioning, minimize risks, and help achieve optimal production outcomes.

What are some typical safety protocols that day pyrolysis operators must follow during their shifts?

Day Pyrolysis operators work with high-temperature equipment and potentially hazardous materials, so strict adherence to safety protocols is essential. Operators are typically required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), conduct regular equipment checks, and follow established procedures for handling feedstocks and byproducts. Regular safety drills, clear communication with team members, and thorough documentation of operations are also common practices. These protocols help minimize risks and ensure a safe, efficient work environment.

What is the difference between Day Pyrolysis vs Day Operator?

AspectDay PyrolysisDay Operator
CertificationsHazardous materials handling, safety trainingEquipment operation, safety protocols
Work EnvironmentIndustrial plants, chemical processing facilitiesRefineries, chemical plants, waste processing sites
Job ResponsibilitiesOverseeing pyrolysis processes, monitoring reactorsOperating machinery, maintaining plant safety

Day Pyrolysis specialists focus on managing pyrolysis processes, while Day Operators handle daily equipment operation. Both roles require safety training and work in industrial settings, but their specific duties differ based on process oversight versus equipment operation.

Summary
Robinson Carbon is hiring a Maintenance Technician to keep our Alexandria, Louisiana biochar facility running reliably. You'll own the preventive maintenance program for our BET PRD1000 pyrolysis reactor and material handling equipment. Be the first call when something breaks. This is a chance to build a maintenance program from the ground up at a first-of-its-kind production site.
Key Responsibilities
  • Preventive Maintenance: Execute the scheduled maintenance program on the pyrolysis reactor, conveyors, augers, and material handling equipment, including lubrication, belt and chain adjustment, and filter changes
  • Troubleshooting & Repair: Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic faults across the reactor system and supporting equipment
  • Parts & Inventory: Maintain spare-parts inventory, order replacement parts, and keep accurate maintenance logs
  • Emergency Response: Respond to unplanned equipment failures and prioritize repairs to minimize production downtime
  • Collaboration: Coordinate with the Production Lead and Reactor Operators to schedule maintenance windows that avoid disrupting production runs
  • Safety Compliance: Follow lockout/tagout and other safety protocols; use required PPE at all times

Requirements & Qualifications
  • Experience: 3+ years of industrial maintenance experience, ideally with rotating or high-temperature equipment (boilers, dryers, kilns, or similar)
  • Technical Skills: Comfortable reading electrical schematics and mechanical drawings; basic PLC/HMI troubleshooting a plus
  • Trade Skills: Welding, fabrication, or millwright experience preferred
  • Shift Flexibility: Available for day or night shifts and occasional on-call support
  • Education: To be determined based on candidate background
  • Physical Requirements: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, climb ladders, and work in an industrial environment that may involve heat and dust
  • Equipment Operation: Safely operate front-end loaders, skid steers, forklifts, and other rolling stock to move feedstock and finished biochar around the site

What We Offer
  • On-the-job training on Robinson Carbon's proprietary pyrolysis technology
  • The opportunity to build the maintenance program for a new production line from the ground up
  • A chance to work at the forefront of green energy and carbon sequestration technology
