Project Manager: CT Calculation for 23 Potable Water Treatment Plants
Part of my duties in this project include:
Site Visit and recompilation of data to perform an evaluation of the Contact Time (CT) in 23 WTP in Puerto Rico. As part of the project I participate in the evaluation of the existing spreadsheet used by PRASA and provide according recommendations in order for the WTP to comply with the 3 log inactivation and/or removal of Giardia lamblia cyst and 4 log inactivation and/or removal of viruses. As part of my duties, I have the opportunity to be directly involved in the sites visits, calculations, evaluations and development of the final reports as required and as part of this project.
April 2012-May 2012
Project Manager: Filter Assessment of the Cordillera WTP in Ciales, P.R.
Perform the management and participate directly with the engineering staff in the performance of the field tasks required for the evaluation of the filters. The principal objective of the project was to properly evaluate the physical and operational condition of each of the two filters evaluated and determine limiting factors that can affect its effective performance. Also as part of my job responsibilities, after collecting the data and required information, I evaluated the data conserving special focus and interest in the identification of the possible limiting factors that can be affecting the filters performance. After completing the evaluation and analysis a final report is written with the final results of the evaluation. Both FA where done according to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR) and following sections of the EPA’s protocol for a Composite Correction Program (CCP).

Project Engineer: DBP and TOC Control Initiative (Stage I & II)
Participate as a Project Engineers in the Initiatives for the control of TOC and DBP in 32 WTP in Puerto Rico that were found to be in non-compliance with the Disinfection by Product Rule, which in part is correlated with the removal of TOC from the raw water and the adequate practice of disinfection in the plant. As part of my duties, but not limited to them, I was responsible of made site visits, inspection of the plant, perform laboratory tests, made correlations of results and analyze history data and current data of monitoring test, necessary for the evaluation and identification of possible factors that can affect the WTP performance. Also I made inspections of the conditions of the water filtration plant and identified possible factors that can contribute in the formation of THM and HAA5 (DBP’s).
March 2012-April 2012
Speaker and Project Engineer: Training to WTP and WWTP Supervisors, Compliance Specialist and Operators (OPERCOM)
Participate in the development and preparation of the Power Point presentations and material to were administered in the seminars and training to the AAA staff of the west region of Puerto Rico. Also, participate as the speaker of several subjects offered in the Seminaries (Training Courses). Some of the subjects worked as part of my participation in this project were the followings:
• Water Treatment Units and Processes
• Water Treatment Monitor and Processes Control
• WTP and WWTP Laboratory Techniques
• Occupation, Safety and Health in Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants
November 2011-March 2012
Project Manager: Validation of Membrane Filtration System
Work as the project manager in the Validation Process of the Guajataca WTP in Quebradillas, Puerto Rico. The principal objectives of the project is; to evaluate the removal efficiency of representative particulate with specific size, similar to water pathogens like Crypto (2-5 µ) and Giardia (5-15 µ) in membrane filtrations plant of the AAA; determine turbidity standards for the membrane filtration systems like required by the Long -Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule.
May 2011-July 2011
Project Manager: Evaluation of WTP as per the Log Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule Toolbox (LT-2)
The project consisted in the evaluation of the following seven (7) Water Filtration Plants: Morovis Sur WFP, Morovis Urbana WFP, Orocovis Urbana WFP, Quebrada WFP (Camuy), Barranquitas Urbana WFP, Aguas Buenas WFP and Luquillo WFP. This project consisted in analyzing the compliance of each of the water filtration plants, (mentioned before) with the requirements of the LT-2 for the additional removal of Cryptosporidium parvum. The objectives of the project were to; describe the treatment process including the raw water intake; evaluate the different tools (toolbox) recommended by EPA to ensure the additional level of treatment required by the LT2 for the removal of Cryptosporidium; Make recommendations to the AAA, related with the more appropriated treatment techniques evaluated for each plant that will help them to obtain the additional 1 log removal of Cryptosporidium as required by the LT2.
May 2011- June 2011
Project Manager: DBP and TOC Control Initiative (Stage I)
Work as the project manager of the Initiatives for the control of TOC and DBP in 13 New Non-compliance WTP in Puerto Rico that were found to be in non-compliance with the Disinfection by Product Rule, which in part is correlated with the removal of TOC from the raw water and the adequate practice of disinfection in the plant. As part of my duties, but not limited to them, I’m responsible of made site visits, inspection of the plant, perform laboratory tests, made correlations of results and analyze history data and current data of monitoring test, necessary for the evaluation and identification of possible factors that can affect the WTP performance. Also I made inspections of the conditions of the water filtration plant and identified possible factors that can contribute in the formation of THM and HAA5 (DBP’s).
February-April 2011
Project Engineer: DBP and TOC Control Initiative (Stage II)
Participate for a period of three months in the stage II of the initiative for the control of TOC and DBP’s in 19 WTP in Puerto Rico. As part of my duties, but not limited to them, I visit for two consecutive days, each of the 19 WTP and in each visit, I perform Jar Tests for the primary and secondary polymer. After finishing each Jar Test I measure the turbidity values and level of ...
