We always run with dual HVAC systems in each zone just to make sure each one was on point. We did not have enough automation on the temp controls to keep the HVAC team away for long. 36 points, geeeesssssssssssssssssss. one of my small buildings has over 10,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand wearing gloves either but I do as much as possible now. Four years ago I developed a lump in my left arm. Turned out it was cancer, aggressive sarcoma. Did six weeks of radiation treatments. I could post some pics of what my arm looked like after, radiation burn was deep. Extremely painful, skin peeling off, bleeding. My arm will never be the same due to lymphnode damage. Now I go for a chest x-ray every six months to see if I have lung cancer because that's the next place it will show up. Caused by 25 years of exposure to chemicals, I never wore gloves. Had jet fuel, hydraulic fluid, synthetic oil not to mention used motor oil at home on my hands almost daily. I highly recommend you wear gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost a few family members from cancer, it's scary stuff. This is why I have to learn to wear gloves more often. I wish you the best of luck in the future!

Well in the great grand picture it does eventually lol, but not in the sense I think youre picturing. All depends on the facility, the one Im at now is a deep lake intake so its pretty awesome source water. My first facility I ever ran was one of the most complex in North America due to the source of water on a shallow river that was downstream for other major cities discharging there "treated" waste water from the shit plants. Rainstorms and spring runoff would make the intake water turn from clear to thicker than chocolate milk in hours. Its a very overlooked line of work and should be, as long as people can open there taps and have clean safe water then we are doing our job. When it gets fucked up it hits the news pretty big, ie.

Plants were being operated buy ppl not fit for the position of being in charge of something as important as drinking water. Requires much more schooling, testing and training now, Which Im all for.

I automated the water treatment plant at smooth rock falls say 25 years ago. It was the fire chief's other duty to be responsible for the plant. It was setup to automatically shut down on turbidity, low residual chlorine, pH etc and call a dialer like most modern plants, however they could easily be bypassed as they are just instruments that sent a dry signal indicating everything is good.

soupkid Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Lots more rules and regulations involved now, almost to many at times. Look at Killarney as an example, they draw the water right from Georgian Bay (can't get much better) and they had to put in a $12m water treatment plant. I did the HVAC controls in the building and let me tell ya, overkill to the max on both the HVAC side and water treatment side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't sell undisinfected water to people, doesn't mater what the source is and you need to maintain a residual disinfectant in the distribution system, I am sure you know this.

The only way the population would increase is if billy bob got his 1st,2nd and 3rd cousins pregnant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The control systems they use have come a long way since dry contacts and autodialers. Although sometimes simpler is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
