Responsibilities of water treatment engineer
1. Design water treatment system: Water treatment engineers design and plan various water treatment systems according to specific needs and requirements, such as water supply system, wastewater treatment system and sewage treatment system. They consider factors such as water quality requirements, treatment process, equipment selection and layout, and formulate appropriate technical schemes.
2. Water quality analysis and evaluation: The water treatment engineer is responsible for analyzing and evaluating the water quality of the water source to determine the required treatment process and technology. They collect and analyze water samples, measure various water quality parameters and evaluate potential water quality problems and risks.
3. System operation and maintenance: The water treatment engineer supervises and manages the operation and maintenance of the water treatment system. They ensure the normal operation of the equipment, make maintenance plans, troubleshoot and repair, and conduct regular inspections and tests to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the system.
4. Water resources management: Water treatment engineers participate in water resources management and protection. They study and formulate water resources management strategies, optimize water resources utilization, and ensure sustainable water supply and water environment protection.
5. Supervision and compliance: The water treatment engineer is responsible for supervising the operation of the water treatment system and ensuring that it complies with relevant laws and standards. They may need to cooperate with government agencies, regulatory authorities and environmental organizations to ensure that the water treatment process meets the requirements of environmental regulations and standards.
