JOB DESCRIPTION
Job Purpose:
To ensure smooth operation of sulphonation processes, maintain product quality standards, and support production, quality control, and research activities in line with safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Production Support
* Monitor sulphonation process parameters (temperature, pressure, acid concentration, SO₃ feed, etc.).
* Conduct batch sampling and testing to ensure reaction consistency.
* Assist in optimization of sulphonation reaction conditions for yield, purity, and cost efficiency.
* Support troubleshooting of process deviations.
2. Quality Control (QC)
* Carry out routine testing of raw materials, intermediates, and finished products (active matter, acid value, color, moisture, pH, etc.).
* Maintain calibration and proper use of laboratory instruments (titrators, spectrophotometers, GC, HPLC if applicable).
* Prepare and maintain analytical test reports and certificates of analysis (COA).
* Ensure compliance with BIS / ISO / customer specifications.
3. Research & Development (R&D) (if applicable)
* Develop and validate new analytical methods for sulphonated products (LABSA, SLES, AOS, etc.).
* Assist in scale-up studies and pilot plant trials.
* Contribute to product development for detergents, surfactants, and specialty chemicals.
4. Safety & Compliance
* Follow all safety protocols while handling sulphuric acid, SO₃, and other hazardous chemicals.
* Ensure adherence to environmental norms for effluent and emission.
* Maintain MSDS records and participate in HAZOP / safety audits.
5. Documentation & Reporting
* Maintain laboratory records as per GLP (Good Laboratory Practices).
* Prepare daily/weekly QC and production reports.
* Support ISO audits, customer audits, and regulatory inspections.
Key Skills & Competencies:
* Strong knowledge of sulphonation chemistry and surfactant industry.
* Proficiency in wet chemistry techniques and instrumental analysis (GC, HPLC, FTIR).
* Good understanding of chemical safety and hazardous material handling.
* Analytical and problem-solving skills.
