Guy Baker, EC&I Engineer

About

 

Motivation

I have always been fascinated by water, the many uses it has, its immense power and yet terribly disappointed by the lack of appreciation that many people and indeed governments have and which is typified by its abuse and waste.

Humanity and the world cannot survive without this precious commodity. Quality water is increasingly scarce as a consequence of population growth, urbanisation and climatic warming.

This realisation gives me a sense of satisfaction whenever a Water Treatment Plant has been successfully put into operation and particularly if I have contributed as an EC&I engineer.

My experience working internationally has been beneficial. It has improved my ability to work as a “team” member with everyone irrespective of age and culture.

I pride being able to work properly according to project schedule and within budget until successful handover.

I consider myself to be conscientious and honest and am most willing to submit qualifications and testimonials if requested.

I have included a summary of my Water Treatment experiences.

 

 

Water Treatment Industry

I have worked for 12 years in the Water Treatment Industry as an Electrical, Control and Instrumentation (EC&I) engineer.

My experience in this industry has been gained by working for:

· Ovivo (In the UAE)

· VA Tech Wabag / Aqua Water Treatment

· DB Thermal

· Portals Water Treatment

My electrical, control and instrumentation (EC&I) duties involved tendering, project engineering and detailed design with Electrical Switchgear, Instrumentation, PLC/SCADA automation and commissioning through to handover of the plant to Clients.

I usually commissioned the EC&I scope of supply which often was done by working closely with the Process Engineer.

The types of process plant experienced can be categorized into namely Industrial Water Treatment and Potable Water Treatment . The most noticeable exclusion is Sewage Treatment Plants which has its own speciality.

Industrial Water Treatment Plants:

· Cation filters

· Anion filters

· Mixed Bed filters

· Degasser

· Carbon filters

· Sand filters

· Softeners

· Hydrochloric & Sodium Hydroxide chemical dosing tanks

· Condensate polishing (power stations)

Potable Water Treatment Plants:

· Pump stations

· Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Units

· Sand filters

· Reverse Osmosis

· Thickeners

· Clarifiers

· Sludge removal presses

· Chemical Dosing

· Chlorination

· Air Compressors

It will be my pleasure to elaborate further on any of my past experiences should it be requested.
