Process Lead - Desalination (WET IC)

Responsibilities

Develop mass and energy balances, PFDs, and P&IDs for seawater RO desalination systems.

Design and size RO trains, pumps, pretreatment units (coagulation, media filtration, UF), and post‑treatment (remineralization, CO2 dosing).

Prepare detailed specifications for equipment : pressure vessels, membranes, dosing systems, and chemical treatment units.

Analyze and optimize membrane performance using software.

Perform hydraulic calculations for multiport vessels and high‑pressure piping networks.

Conduct system simulations to predict performance under varying feedwater conditions.

Perform recovery, energy consumption, and membrane fouling rate analysis.

Evaluate energy recovery devices (ERDs) and design pressure exchanger systems.

Review and analyze laboratory data, pilot trials, and membrane autopsy reports.

Lead or review engineering deliverables : design reports, datasheets, BOQs, and technical specifications.

Coordinate interdisciplinary interfaces with civil, electrical, instrumentation, and mechanical teams.

Participate in HAZOP, design reviews (3D model reviews, RAM studies), and risk assessments.

Support factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and commissioning.

Diagnose and resolve process bottlenecks, membrane fouling, scaling, or plant underperformance.

Train operations teams on membrane cleaning procedures (CIP), energy optimization, and water quality control.
