For over twenty-two years, Mr. Taylor has been responsible for maintaining, repairing and programming treatment system equipment including control systems, electrical equipment, pumps and piping for many Environmental Remediation Treatment Facilities. These facilities include Soil Vapor Extraction, Air Stripping, Vertical Circulation, Puris PADRE systems, Ion Exchange, Direct Recharge Pump and Treat and Carbon Adsorption, HiPOx (Hydrogen peroxide and Ozone), Free Product Recovery, Insitu-Oxidation, Thermal/Catalytic Oxidation and Bioreactors.

Mr. Taylor has assisted in several University of Arizona remediation studies. He has replaced control system computers in 1998 and 1999 using 2 Allen-Bradley PLC5s and 2 HMI workstations; each running Intouch Wonderware® software. In 2003 Mr. Taylor upgraded the water well control computers integrating 60 Allen Bradley SLC 5/03 PLC's and variable frequency drives through 27 miles of fiber optic communication cable. All user software was written by Mr. Taylor, with an employee drawing graphics on the HMI. This project was completed with almost no downtime due to system switch over. Bill’s knowledge leads him to all O&M aspects of this plant.

Mr. Taylor was responsible for the now closed Industrial Waste Treatment Facility, at Hughes Aircraft company Tucson, for 13 years, maintaining and programming all plant control systems and electrical equipment. The plant used liquid pretreatment technologies, sand pressure filters, Ultra Filtration, Reverse Osmosis, Electro Dialysis Reversal, Crystallization, ORP for chromium reduction, Ion Exchange and Spray drying. The Control system consisted of six Allen-Bradley PLC5s, five Allen-Bradley SLC500 PLCs, five Workstations using Intouch Wonderware® HMI software and 3 Allen-Bradley 1400 Touch screen HMI interfaces.
