Project Title: Upgrading of [name] Sewage Treatment Works Project Position: Engineer in charge to prepare the pumping and pipework design Project Brief: Pumping and Pipework System for transferring different working fluid involved in the [name] sewage treatment plant with handling capacity [n] Minimal Liquid Discharge (MLD) (Contract Sum: HKD [cost]M or Construction Cost: HKD [cost]M) Professional Experiences I was the Engineer in charge of the pumping and pipework system design for the [name] sewage treatment plant with handling capacity [n]MLD. The pumping and pipework system was designed to transfer fluid to different process tanks in the sewage treatment process. Taking cost, safety and reliability into consideration, I developed an overall pipework layout design with the aid of Piping and Instrumentation Diagram. Then I applied Darcy Weisbach Equation and carried out the hydraulic and headloss calculations to determine the pipework dimension and required head. With consideration of statutory requirements of Factories and Industrial Undertaking Ordinance (Cap. 59), I designed the installation methods of the pumping and pipework system. | C1 & C2 |
Maintain Engineering Knowledge I joined and attended seminars, factory visits, group discussions organized by the HKIE, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), etc. to upkeep my technical knowledge, project management skills, etc. Through the direct discussion with experts in different fields, I obtained up-to-date technical knowledge of the sewage treatment process and relevant technology. Moreover, I obtained my in-depth knowledge of the treatment process control through my professional experiences on projects. I also developed my knowledge of material science related to mechanical system design of treatment facilities, etc. | C11 |

Project Title: Upgrading of [name] Sewage Treatment Works Project Position: Engineer in charge of Deodorization System Design Project Brief: To design a deodorization (DO) system design for [name] sewage treatment works with handling capacity [n] MLD in remote area. (Contract Sum: HKD [cost]M or Construction Cost: HKD [cost]M) Professional Experiences I was responsible for deodorization system design for [name] sewage treatment works. The DO system was designed to extract foul air from process tanks with three air change per hour (ACH). Following the Piping and Instrumentation Diagram, I conducted the design calculation and prepared the layout of mechanical equipment. I applied my knowledge of fluid dynamics when I carried out the design calculation to determine the required fan capacity and pipework dimension. For the type and dimension of filter system, I was responsible to investigate the solution of filter system which was without precedent reference of solutions. I noted that the sewage treatment works had very limited site area available and located in remote area; hence, the design of filter should be optimized to meet the operation needs of this site. I identified the concentration and amount of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) in different process stages carefully to ensure the deodorization system could remove the H2S gas to a level that met the discharge requirement and managed the risk associated with H2S gas accumulation. I evaluated the pros and cons of different deodorization technologies and determined to use both biotrickling filters and activated carbon filters for this plant. I recommended that the provision of dehumidifier could provide the foul air with 85% relative humidity and hence a suitable environment for activated carbon media. My design proposal was laminar flow in the air duct with a velocity < 10m/s and at least < 0.4 m/s for DO tank contact time. The design recommendation for this deodorization system was agreed upon by DSD. | C3, C4 |

Project Title: Maintenance Contract of Sewage Handling Facilities in [location] area Position and Project Brief: Project engineer to manage and supervise the maintenance activities (Contract Sum: HKD[cost]M or Construction Cost: HKD [cost]M) Professional Experiences I was responsible for managing the contract of providing maintenance service to sewage handling facilities in [location] area. I led [n] workers to complete [n] overhaul works under my supervision. I managed the budget plan and project programme to ensure [name] maintenance works could be completed on schedule. For the budget management, I carefully examined the needs and chose suitable mechanical parts with the most competitive price for the maintenance and overhaul works to save on material costs. For the project programme management, I prepared a Gantt Chart to identify the critical path of each overhaul. I also prepared the work plan, labour arrangement plan, contingency plan for each overhaul to ensure that the works could be completed in a timely manner. Project Title: Upgrading of [name]Sewage Treatment Works Position and Project Brief: Engineer in charge of implementing the pumping and pipework system of [name] sewage treatment works with handling capacity [n] MLD. (Contract Sum: HKD[cost]M or Construction Cost: HKD[cost]M) Professional Experiences I was the Engineer in charge of implementing of the pumping and pipework systems of [name] sewage treatment works. I led [n] workers to install the [n] pumps and [length] m-long pipework for the [name] sewage treatment works. Before the commissioning test, I checked the pump alignment and if the pumps could be properly operated. I confirmed that no abnormal vibration or noise was heard in the pump operation. During the commissioning test, I verified that the pump could be properly operated at different motor speeds. I also checked the hydraulic calculation and pumping sizing to verify if they were in line with the actual performance. Hence, with my engineering judgement, I concluded that the performance of pumps was satisfactory. I conducted risk assessments and managed the risk associated with the implementation of the pumping and pipework systems with careful consideration of opportunities and consequences of potential incidents according to work statements and the sequence of installing the pumps and pipework. | C5,C6 C7 |
