Analytical Chemist
CurrentIn this role, I collect and analyze samples daily to measure reduction of harmful wastes as they flow through the Wastewater Treatment Facility. Following EPA and NPDES permits, E. coli, Biological Oxygen Demand, Total Suspended Solids, Total Residual Chlorine, and pH tests are performed daily and reported to management and governing bodies as necessary. Calibrations, standard preparation, equipment management and cleaning, as well as autosampler tubing maintenance is completed as required. Training interns and new hires, along with entering data and calling in violations when necessary, is also crucial to the functioning of the Wastewater Lab.
