Important Decisions I made:

• Electrical classification:

is a critical issue for water/wastewater treatment plumbs in the oil industry. From one side, in pure w/ww treatment plants usually areas are (electrically) unclassified and from the other side in oil & gas industries. Decision on electrical classification for w/ww treatment plants in the oil industry is a critical decision to make sure the decision is not over or under conservative.

• PSV after regulator
• De-rating a PSV size
• Fire case or not fire case
• Troubleshooting by pushing problem to the other units!
• Equipment on emergency power ( ever electrical tracing)
• Conceptual design of SIS loops in different levels, equipment, unit, plant.
• Dissolved oxygen
• Decision making on mechanical detail of equipment & manufacturers
• Sour or sweet
• Water scaling: changing temp., Mixing stream
