With over a decade of specialized experience as a mechanical designer in the water treatment industry, I focus exclusively on delivering high-precision designs for ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) systems — including brackish water RO (BWRO) and seawater RO (SWRO). My expertise spans the full design lifecycle: • Creating detailed 2D process flow diagrams (PFDs) and P&IDs • Managing design offices and implementing standardized design procedures and documentation to ensure consistency, efficiency, and compliance across projects • Extensive 3D modeling of custom components, parts, pump skids, CIP systems, and complete plants within steel frame structures or containerized setups • Optimized pipe routing for high-pressure systems, ensuring minimal pressure drops and ease of maintenance • Producing meticulous manufacturing drawings, detailed bills of materials (BOMs), and fabrication-ready packages • Delivering photorealistic 3D renderings for client presentations, proposals, and marketing I have successfully supported numerous water treatment projects by turning conceptual requirements into production-ready designs that reduce manufacturing errors, speed up assembly, and lower overall project costs. My work emphasizes accuracy, manufacturability, and adherence to industry standards (e.g., ASME, ISO where applicable). Whether you need a full containerized RO/UF plant layout, skid-mounted system redesign, detailed piping isometrics, or standardized templates for your team — I’m ready to deliver reliable, high-quality CAD work on time. Let’s discuss your project — upload your specs or sketches, and I’ll provide a quick proposal with timelines and approach.
