Hard Skills
IntermediatePyrolysis Process ControlThe ability to operate and regulate retorts and kilns to thermally decompose wood into charcoal and chemical byproducts in an oxygen-deprived environment.
AdvancedHazardous Material HandlingSafe management and storage of toxic or flammable byproducts such as methanol, acetic acid, and wood tar generated during the distillation process.
IntermediateDistillation Column OperationMonitoring and adjusting temperature gradients and pressure within distillation units to separate chemical fractions effectively.
IntermediatePreventative Equipment MaintenancePerforming routine checks and cleaning on condensers, piping, and reactors to prevent carbon buildup and mechanical failures.
IntermediateQuality Assurance SamplingConducting physical and chemical tests on charcoal and distillates to verify compliance with density, carbon content, and purity specifications.
