Hydraulic retention time and organic loading| Reactor and equalization volumes| Aeration and oxygen requirements| Blower and pump sizing| Media requirements| Sludge generation| Filtration loading| Disinfection dosage| Treated-water storage| Develop integrated treatment systems incorporating appropriate combinations of anaerobic treatment, biological polishing, MBBR, filtration,



disinfection and tertiary treatment.

4. Project Engineering & Execution

Own the technical lifecycle from:

Customer Requirement → Site Assessment → Wastewater Characterisation → Process Design → Proposal → Engineering → Manufacturing → Installation → Commissioning → Performance Testing → Handover

Prepare and review:

Technical proposals & treatment philosophies| PFDs & P&IDs;| Equipment schedules & technical datasheets| Project specifications| Installation drawings| Commissioning procedures| O&M; documentation

5. Manufacturing & Engineering Interface

Work closely with Samudra's FRP manufacturing and fabrication teams to convert process designs into reliable physical systems.

Knowledge of, or willingness to learn, FRP tank construction, tank geometry, internal partitions, baffles, pipe penetrations, equipment mounting, skid fabrication, mechanical piping, electrical panels and instrumentation is expected.

6. Commissioning & Troubleshooting

- Visit project sites and lead technical commissioning and performance validation.
- Diagnose issues such as high BOD/COD, odour, excess sludge, foaming, poor settling, low dissolved oxygen, hydraulic/organic overloading, pump/blower failures and contamination.
- Distinguish between design, equipment and operational problems and recommend corrective actions.
- Establish commissioning and performance-testing protocols.

7. Technical Support to Sales & Customers

- Participate in important customer and consultant discussions.
- Assess wastewater quantity, pollution load, available space, treated-water requirements, disposal/reuse requirements, operating conditions and power availability.




- Provide technically sound and commercially practical solutions to customer requirements.
- Support the Sales & Marketing team with technical proposals and solution development.

8. Regulatory & Performance Compliance

Support development and validation of systems in accordance with applicable BIS, CPCB, Kerala State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) and other relevant regulatory requirements, including IS 18797:2024, wherever applicable.

Coordinate sample collection, laboratory testing, third-party testing, performance trials, documentation and regulatory submissions.

9. Cost & Commercial Engineering: Work with Procurement, Production and Finance to establish - Product and equipment costing| BOMs| Installation costs| Power and chemical consumption| Maintenance costs| Operating and life-cycle costs|
