Mulberry, Fl

Program and commission of processes and strategies typical of the automated water treatment industry—including commissioning drives and actuators controlled over the DeviceNET and Profibus-DP protocols also calibrating instrumentation communicating over the Profibus-PA protocol. Compose system operating procedures and training manuals. Train plant personnel on these systems.

Vero Beach, Fl

Electrical and instrumentation design of automated pollution control systems. These were primarily carbon adsorption units in conjunction with technologies like decantation, distillation, and thermal oxidation to recover and/or remove product. Because of hazardous location classification of these systems (Class 1, Div. I or II) intrinsic safety was often implemented. Program and commission these systems. Calibrate instrumentation. Compose O&M and training manuals. Train client’s personnel on these systems’ processes and operation.
