Nevin Bretz, Project Manager
Nevin Bretz is a graduate of Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, Louisiana. He is currently a Project Manager for commercial wastewater treatment solutions for Delta Treatment Systems. He devoted almost 15 years designing control panels for the water, wastewater, and oil and gas markets at a panel shop in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. During that time, he has become fluent in troubleshooting and startups from simple pump stations to entire water/wastewater plants. That knowledge and experience along with a proficiency in instrumentation carried over to Pipe Tech where Nevin obtained certifications in training classes on electric motor operators, controls, and valves. Using a combination of high speed pressure analyzers and KY Pipe software, Nevin studied hydraulic pressure transients and how to solve water hammer problems. From there, Nevin spent several 3 years at Delta Process Equipment (a DXP company) performing startups, training, and troubleshooting on municipal and industrial equipment. He became fluent in centrifugal air compressors from 400HP to 2,000HP.
