Jose is an experienced and highly skilled EICA Engineer, with 12 plus years of experience, 7 years in the Water/Wastewater Industry, in Electrical Engineering and Industrial Automation while based in the Middle East.
Jose has worked in very senior roles on many major international projects around the MENA region, including:
• Rehabilitation and Upgradation of SCADA system for Drinking Water Treatment Plant (Khartoum, Sudan) 2013
• Construction of Drinking Water Treatment Plant for Gambella and Adama Towns (Ethiopia) 2015
• Screening System for Strategic Tunnel Enhancement Project (Abu Dhabi) 2016
• Construction of 4 No. Industrial ETPs for Slaughterhouses (Alain, UAE) 2017
• Rehabilitation and Upgradation of Tertiary Filter System in the Main Sewage Treatment plant (Sharjah, UAE) 2019
• Electrical Instrumentation, Control and Automation of a Biogas Plant, for Al Rawabi Diary (Dubai, UAE) 2020
Jose will contribute greatly to WEW Engineering’s extensive process and engineering capabilities. His key competencies include:
• Design and System Integration of Automation Systems
• Programming, Testing and Commissioning of PLC/HMI’s, VFD’s and SCADA Systems
• Preparation of SLDs, detailed Schematics and Loop Drawings in E-plan Electric
• Preparation/Review of P&ID Drawings, and Functional Design Specifications (FDS)
• HAZOP studies for Water/Wastewater Treatment Plants (WwTP) and Package systems
• Design and Development of Packaged MBR/MBBR/RO Water Treatment Plants
• Testing and Commissioning of PWTP/WWTP/ETP Plants and Package systems
Services Development
Jose’s capabilities and experience enable us to expand our services in the Water Industry to include project and site-specific capabilities in Electrical Engineering and Systems Integration.
In addition to our standard AutoCAD 3D model capabilities which also includes PFD’s, and intelligent P&ID’s we can also now provide:
• Electrical Schematics, Panel Layouts, Loop Diagrams, etc. (E-Plan Electrical CAD)
• Electrical Distribution System Design including Single Line Diagrams (Trace elec-calc 2020)
• Cable sizing & supporting calculations (Trace elec-calc 2020)
• PLC Programming & Network Configuration (Siemens, Simatic, etc.)
Our System Integration services include:
• Development of process/plant specific control philosophies (with our Process Engineers)
• Preparation of URS and FDS Documentation
• Design & Engineering of PLC/HMI Control Systems (hardware & software)
• Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s) application & control
• Networking and interfacing, including MCC, VFD’s Remote I/O, Valves, and Instrumentation
• SCADA solutions (including Siemens Telecontrol Modems MS Visual basic and OPC server)
• Configure for energy audit reports and optimized/evolved control philosophies.
• FAT testing and documentation
• Site commissioning and system optimisation
We believe these additional services, coupled with our specialist process and plant design capabilities will be of particular interest to the following sectors:
• General Consultants (with specific water/wastewater project elements)
• Design-Build Engineering Contractors (peak lopping, site/project-specific briefs)
• Industrial Sector, including Pharma, Biopharma, Food, Dairy, Brewing & Distilling
• Bioenergy Plant Developers and end-users (WEW are involved in an R&D Project for Anaerobic Digestor process control optimisation)
• Any/all sites requiring WwTP control system upgrades (reduce operator involvement, reduce energy usage, decrease sludge production, improve plant performance)
If you would like to discuss an upcoming or current project, where we can be of assistance please contact us.
