ENGINEERING

Thorough knowledge of the design and operation of various engineering plant equipment; such as heat exchangers,

hydraulic sy stems, pneumatic systems (high and low pressure air compressors and reducers), steam turbines, diesel

engines, lube oil systems, pumps (multi-stage centrifugal and positive displacement), valves, water chemistry control,

electrical power generation and distribution (AC & DC generators, busswork and breakers), and plant parameter

monitoring and control devices (electrical instrumentation systems for level, temperature and flow).
