• Adhered to all safety procedures and protocols when using equipment and moving hazardous chemicals to prevent mishaps and accidents. Adhered to all applicable regulations, policies and procedures for health, safety and environmental compliance.
• Added neutralizing agents to products and pumped products through filters to remove impurities.
• Kept continuous eye on temperature, pressure and flow of materials.
• Maintained equipment in good working order using hand tools, calibration expertise and basic maintenance abilities. Clean Probes twice per week & Calibrate once per week.
• Mixed and correctly handled potentially hazardous chemicals.
• Facilitated lockout procedures to control access to high-security areas.
• Performed safety inspections, immediately documenting non-compliance issues to address with Pollution Control Supervisor.
• Implemented best practices and streamlined workflows to maintain organized and safe plant environment.
• Observed gauges, recording instruments and flowmeters to maintain specified conditions.
• Tested product samples for specific gravity, chemical characteristics, pH levels, concentrations and viscosities.
• Troubleshot and repaired machines to increase productivity and decrease spending.
• Reviewed operations and conferred with technical or administrative staff to resolve production and processing problems.
• Set up and operated production equipment according to daily work orders and safety procedures.
• Started machine operations by inserting control instructions into control units.
• Read and interpreted standard operating procedures to complete work in an accurate and efficient manner.
• Monitored and adjusted production processes or equipment for quality and productivity improvement.
• During beginning shift walk-through:
• Perform start up procedure for Plater in Strut Department, and collect daily samples for Titrations to be completed in Lab. Daily Samples were collected from the generator, and the Zinc Dip, Soak, Electro, Acid 1, and Acid 2 Tanks.
• Responsible for documenting results of titrations testing for the next shift technician in Daily Sample Log Sheet, signed & dated.
• While in the Pollution Control Building, check all valves, insuring no leaks, air leaks, or chemical spills. Clean up any spill in accordance with safety & health policies.
• Responsible for checking water level on all three collection tanks. 8 ft. of water needed for start up of Filtration Process. If less than 8 ft., wait for Plater chemical tank drops, or waste water return from entire factory.

* Before start up of Filtration Process:

• Insure Anionic Polymer, Calcium Chloride, & Co-Precipitant are all at running levels & mixing.
• Check Neutron Reactor Screen; place mixers MN4, MN5, & MN6 into automatic.
• Check pH Adjust Screen; place mixer M+10 into automatic.
• Check Collection Tanks Screen; place pump Cp1B into automatic.
• Insure CVCTB-1 valve is open.
• Filtration Process will now be started at this point.
• Responsible for performing City Water Compliance Test. After Polluted Water runs through Filtration Process, it goes to Compliance Tans & waits for release back to the City of Athens. When Collection Tank is full, I then collect water samples for Compliance Test to be performed at Lab.
• For Compliance Test; Test pH levels of water sample, add 1 Mill. of Acid into water sample, Test for Zinc & Chromium on AA Machine. When Compliance Test has a passing result, then responsible for the release of clean water back to the City.
• Responsible for documenting all Titrations & Testing results into the Daily Sample Log Sheet, signed & dated, for the next shift Technician.
• Responsible for documenting how many gallons of water ran through Filtration Process for that date, signed & dated, for the next shift Technician.
• At Sludge System Screen; check Filter Press and drop if necessary, then cycle & start back up.
• Ending shift Responsibilities:
• Wash out chemical totes from Strut Plater.
• Fill Calcium Chloride RA14 tank & Anionic Polymer RA15 tank so they are ready for next shift Technician.
• If Zinc Dip Tank has been dropped, refill tank and add A & B Chemicals.
• Responsible for ending shift walk through of Strut Dept. Plater & the Pollution Control Building, checking all valves & pumps, insuring no leaks, air leaks, leakage, or spills. Clean up any spills on floor in accordance with safety policies.
