Something to share
Wednesday, March 21, 2007
I am also from chemical engineering background. In fact, I was in the same class as Zaki, my husband. However, I’ve never entered the industrial world of chemical engineering. Instead, I joined fellow academicians in this field. I am currently an academic staff in Universiti Teknologi
DID YOU KNOW?
The upstream oil and gas industry:
- Uses more computer power than any other industry except entertainment
- Is actively producing more than 75% of the new energy options for our future, including solar energy, fuel cells, wind-generated energy and hydrogen technology
- Designs and manufactures the extra-vehicular tooling for the space shuttle
- Collects large amounts of met-ocean and atmospheric data that is instrumentral in building new understanding of hurricanes
- Offers the most practical solution to carbon dioxide (CO2) build up in the atmosphere. It can be separated and re-injected it to earth in a process known as CO2 sequestration
- Still doesn’t get as much money for a barrel of oil, in inflation adjusted terms, it did in 1981.

I’m Zaki. I used to be a project, process and chemical engineer. Few years ago I successfully became a Chartered Engineer (IChemE) and Professional Engineer (BEM). I'm now employed as a chemical engineering educator/researcher/consultant. Hope you like reading my blog. I welcome any feedback from you. My email: zaki.yz[alias]gmail.com. TQ!
