g) Promote and support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and compliance performance of Air Pollution Control Systems.
2. Daily Operation & Monitoring
a) Monitor the operation and performance of the Bag Filter system, including differential pressure readings, compressed air pulse cleaning system performance, filter bag condition, hopper discharge system operation, blower/fan operation, and ducting condition to ensure efficient system performance.
b) Monitor the performance of the Scrubber system, including circulation pump operation, spray nozzle condition, airflow performance, chemical dosing condition (if applicable), and pH monitoring (if applicable) to ensure effective emission control.
c) Conduct routine inspections of Air Pollution Control Systems (APCS), identify abnormal operating conditions, and implement prompt corrective actions to prevent emission non-compliance and equipment failure.
3. System Maintenance & Performance Monitoring
a) Plan, coordinate, and supervise preventive and corrective maintenance activities for Bag Filter and Scrubber systems, including filter bag inspection and replacement, ducting inspection, blower servicing, hopper discharge system maintenance, scrubber nozzle cleaning, and circulation pump servicing.
b) Carry out performance monitoring activities in accordance with DOE requirements and maintain proper inspection and monitoring records to verify system effectiveness.
c) Identify and recommend improvement measures to enhance operational efficiency, system reliability, and environmental compliance performance.
4. Training & Safety
a) Train and guide operators on proper operation and monitoring of Bag Filter and Scrubber systems.
b) Assist in the development and implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), inspection checklists, and emergency response procedures related to Air Pollution Control Systems.
c) Ensure all personnel comply with PPE requirements and company environmental, health, and safety policies.
5. Documentation & Reporting
a) Maintain daily operation logbooks for Bag Filter and Scrubber systems.
b) Record monitoring parameters, maintenance activities, abnormal conditions, and corrective actions taken.
c) Maintain accurate records of filter bag replacements, scrubber servicing activities, and performance monitoring checklists.
d) Prepare and submit weekly, monthly, and quarterly environmental compliance reports to management and ensure documentation is readily available for DOE inspections.
