A professional who controls caustic-wash purification units to remove chemical inhibitors from butadiene and styrene monomers to prevent spontaneous polymerization during storage and transit. Respnsibilities include:

• Starts pumps and injectors to recycle caustic solution through wash tank and mix liquid monomer with caustic solution.
• Reads gauges and laboratory analysis reports and adjusts controls to regulate mixing and separating of purified monomer and caustic solution containing inhibitor, according to plant standard.
• Drains caustic solution from wash tank and piping system and pumps cleaning solution through system to remove impurities.
