Work History
Service / Project Engineer
KIJ Ultra Supreme Filtration Sdn Bhd
10.2020 - Current
- Manage and oversee the ultra-pure water (UPW) system for Micron Memory Malaysia by implementing a series of treatment method to achieve the required water purity standards as below: MMF → ACF → 1st Pass RO → 2nd Pass RO → EDI → TOC UV → Polishing Mixed Bed → UV Sterilization → Final Filter
- Monitor water quality parameters such as resistivity, conductivity, total organic carbon (TOC), and pH level
- Oversee preventive maintenance and resolve operational issues for the UPW systems
- Daily maintain accurate records of water quality data for reporting and regulatory compliance
- Manage the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) system by designing and determining the best treatment process such like H2SO4 dosing, NaOH dosing, coagulant dosing, polymer dosing, and antifoam dosing based on the generated wastewater type (BG, DS, IW)
- Prepare compliance reports for regulatory authorities and ensure all the discharged wastewater meets environmental standard called the ISO 14001, ultimately minimizing the environmental impact
- Investigate and address technical issues related to WWTP system such like sludge build-up, chemical imbalance, and equipment malfunctions
- Identify opportunities to recycle and reuse the treated WW to minimize environmental impact and reduce operational costs
Hook-Up Engineer
KIJ Ultra Supreme Filtration Sdn Bhd
10.2020 - Current
- Familiarize the AutoCAD software functions like drawing, editing, and annotations in order to design CUB & FAB layout plus interpret the conceptual and as-built drawings related to UPW piping, WW piping, electrical panel, etc for both CUB and FAB
- Knowledgeable on determining the pipe efficiency by involving the calculations of pipe diameter, friction losses, and flow rate, thus selecting the best pipe size and material for application
- Knowledgeable on determining the pump efficiency by involving the calculations of head loss and pumping power, thus selecting the best pump for application
- Focuses on connecting the UPW supply for FAB tools and machines based on specifications and involved in commissioning stages followed by the installation completion
- Clarify project scope and work with project managers to develop schedule and allocate resources efficiently
- Apply strong problem solving and analytical skills to address technical challenges and provide effective solutions instantly
- Collaborate with various parties including design, engineering, procurement, and construction to ensure smooth execution
- Identify cost saving opportunities without compromising quality or safety
- Develop risk mitigation strategies and deliver risk assessment (HIRARC) documents based on the OSHA (U.S.) safety standard prior any high-risk mechanical work
- Facilitate handover process followed by the project completion
