Environmental Mechanic
I work to maintain and trouble shoot a waste treatment facility as the sole maintenance mechanic for the department. The facility treats 4.5 million gallons per day of industrial wastewater. I also run and maintain a large Covered Anerobic Lagoon and Up Flow Anerobic Sludge Blank Reactor. These digesters feed a biogas plant generating on average 900 SCFM of biogas which is used to fire boilers for the production facility. I currently maintain all equipment for the biogas plant including flare, blowers, compressors and analyzer equipment. I run and maintain a small Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) for treatment of all sanitary sewage on site. I maintain and service 4 onsite wells and treat 4.5 million gallons per day drinking and processing water.
