Mechanical EngineerSandwell Consulting Engineers Nov 2005 - Apr 2006Burlington, On Lead Engineer for the design of an emergency standby power generation system for the Ashbridges Bay Water Treatment Plant, one of four municipal wastewater treatment facilities in the City of Toronto, second biggest in Canada. Review the design and operation of the existing facility, and modelled various scenarios to determine power equipment requirements during blackouts ranging from short durations to 24 hours or longer. Provided the city with layouts for future power plants using various emergency power supply technologies currently available on the market, and recommended a $1M solution that would best provide critical power support during extended periods of electrical outage. Designed the Power Unit Installation to provide co-generation capabilities at a water treatment plant in the Municipality of Chatham-Kent; the design used digester gas to run the power generation unit, and exhaust heat from this unit to elevate the temperature in digester tanks. -
