Chemical engineer and design authority for degasification, reverse osmosis and ion exchange systems at the Effluent Treatment Facility on the Hanford Site.Hanford's current mission focuses on preparing to treat millions of gallons of waste in large underground tanks and reducing risks through remediation of contaminated areas, deactivation and decommissioning of facilities, groundwater treatment, and waste management.The Effluent Treatment Facility's purpose is to remove hazardous chemicals and low-level radioactive contamination from various radioactive and/or hazardous liquid waste streams generated at the Hanford site. The end product is clean, decontaminated water that will be discharged at the State Approved Land Disposal Site. Monitored, maintained and improved existing systems within the facility while researching/implementing improvements in reliability and efficiency in the waste water treatment process. Worked closely with maintenance an operation staff to ensure proper function of the systems and safety of the worker.
