Baxter Water Treatment Intern
CurrentRun daily laboratory jar-tests in order to simulate the current dosage of chemicals (ferric chloride, lime) being used in the water treatment plant, and then analyze the efficiency of these dosages based on the results for parameters such as alkalinity, pH, turbidity, UV-254, and filterability.• Analyze water samples on a 3-hour basis for UV-254 and turbidity in order to determine the appropriate amount of carbon to be added to the water entering the treatment process at the intake from… Show more Run daily laboratory jar-tests in order to simulate the current dosage of chemicals (ferric chloride, lime) being used in the water treatment plant, and then analyze the efficiency of these dosages based on the results for parameters such as alkalinity, pH, turbidity, UV-254, and filterability.• Analyze water samples on a 3-hour basis for UV-254 and turbidity in order to determine the appropriate amount of carbon to be added to the water entering the treatment process at the intake from the Delaware River.• Disinfection of 94 filters in treatment plant using sodium hypochlorite followed by water testing for bacteria before placing filters back into service.• Inspection of 94 filters in treatment plant for various issues such as influent, drain, and effluent valve problems, cracks in troughs or weirs, surface wash sweep malfunctions, filter bed issues, media depth, etc.• Turbidity Efficiency Profiles of 94 filters in treatment plant during backwash process to assess turbidity changes during cleaning process of the filter beds.• Analyzed plant samples for Sodium hypochlorite concentration % and specific gravity in order to determine necessary concentration of chlorine needed to be used in the treatment system.
