Presenting my technical paper in ICPEAM2010 conference
Tuesday, June 22, 2010
As the conference was organized by Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) and held in KLCC, it is expected to be a grand one. The facilities and organizers were very excellent. As a participant and presenter, I can say the conference was a successful one. On top of getting my paper presented, I was lucky to get my paper published in Journal of Applied Science (JAS) special edition in conjunction with ICPEAM2010. So, up to now, I have 3 conference papers and 1 journal in hand. I think that is not bad for me as I'm still in my second semester. I have 2 drafts of technical paper to be submitted to international journal with my supervisor now and I'm hoping that she can give it to me as soon as possible.
Well, I would like to share some photos from the conference. Thanks to Joseph, my wife's new research assistance who attended the conference with me.
That's me after my presentation session.
During the presentation. I prepared and rehearsed before the presentation. Somehow, I did not followed. I presented freely based on what comes out of my mind.
This is my wife's poster presentation. It's about progressive freeze concentration, in the area of separation engineering.
Me and Joseph, after lunch at the huge ball room. Joseph just graduated in chemical engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.
Me and Nabeel, after lunch as well. Nabeel is finishing his Masters degree in Chemical Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. He is from Iraq and is an expert in Matlab. He maybe continuing his Ph.D soon.
The conference sitting, socializing and relaxing area.
Isn't that comfortable. Enough tables and chairs for participants to rest in between presentation sessions.
KLCC has a nice place to run not only a conference but also multiple exhibitions.-------------------------------------------------------------------

EPFB to Bio-Oil Plant Model
Tuesday, February 17, 2009
My research group, Chemical Reaction Engineering Group (CREG) will be participating in Malaysia Technology Expo 2009 (MTE 2009) after winning a silver medal in the last year's Industrial Arts and Science Exhibition 2008 (INATEX 2008) in our project entitled "Bio-Oil from pyrolysis of pre-treated empty palm fruit bunch (EPFB)". MTE 2009 will be held in Putra World Trade Center (PWTC), Kuala Lumpur from 19-21 February 2009.
As part of the research group, for the MTE 2009 preparation, I was assigned to prepare the EPFB to Bio-Oil plant model and also to ensure our short video is well creatively prepared. During the recent INATEX 2008, we have prepared a model but we it's not really attractive and not strong at all. Hence, for this time we have hired professional service to heelp us out with the model creation. With some help from the research officers and master student, I have sketched a 3 storey plant model lay out. It's really exciting to be able to design, build and construct the plant. However, I know building a real plant is not as easy as creating a plant model.
After 2 weeks working on the model, finally the plant is completed. The plant produced 840kg/day of bio-oil from EPFB. I have adjusted the costing for the production of bio-oil and it seems to be interesting. However, I'm sorry that we can't reveal the costing here.

Engineering Students With Billion-Dollar Ideas
Monday, April 14, 2008
A bunch of chemical engineering students gathered in the Wu Conference Center at University of New Brunswick Fredericton, Canada to show case their projects in the Innovations and Opportunities Atlantic Canada Engineering Conference. the project carried out by those students were very interesting. One of the projects which was converting coal to fuel was pretty interesting. I know the basics of this technology while doing my masters few years ago (I did converting gas to liquid technology before). The coal to fuel was first develop by SASOL in South Africa. For them, they managed to create a process which is commercially viable. Now, the students have presented their ideas to establish the coal to liquid plant in Canada and it will be truly rewarding if their ideas will be executed. Continue reading the full news below:
FREDERICTON - From producing synthetic oil from oil shale to making diesel from coal, energy production projects dominated the Innovations and Opportunities Atlantic Canada engineering conference.
More than 130 university and high school students, faculty, government officials and industry representatives packed the Wu Conference Centre at the University of New Brunswick
Fredericton recently to hear about nine capital projects designed to bring major investments and jobs to the province.
Altogether the student projects, if they were all built, would represent more than $6 billion in capital investments and would create more than 1,700 jobs.
Among the most intriguing ideas presented at the one-day event was a plant designed to turn coal from Minto into ultra-low sulphur diesel.
"Our economic analysis shows this plant is extremely profitable," said Blair Kelly, one of the three students who designed the $1.1-billion facility.
The plant, designed by Kelly, Stephanie Guay and Rebecca Appleton would produce 10,000 barrels of diesel fuel each day from 1,400 tonnes of coal. If built, it would be the first coal-to-liquid fuels plant in Canada.
The technology was first developed during the Second World War and is in use in South Africa as well as China.
Continue reading the full article HERE.
Photos: Rebecca Appleton, Blair Kelly and Stephane Guay, chemical engineering students at the University of New Brunswick, have designed a $1.1-billion coal-to-liquid fuels plant which could be built in Minto. The plant would produce 10,000 barrels per day of ultra-low sulphur diesel.

Manchester - Successful Contractor Management 2008
Thursday, April 10, 2008
Today I received an email from EngineerLive.com that I think should be shared with you guys who do not received those informations. It is about an event related to successful contractor management. Those who are in the Engineering, Procurement and Construction field or industry should take note on this. Following is the exact email I got from them:
Dear Engineer
Join us at this year’s “Successful Contractor Management 2008” conference on the 20th and 21st May 2008 in Manchester. Effective contractor management is an essential issue today within maintenance management and technical projects. Ensuring your contractors meet Health & Safety standards is critical; getting the most out of your contractual relationships can be challenging; guaranteeing trained, competent and professional contractors problematic; and, measuring contractor performance is both complex and time consuming. And that’s just scratching the surface. If you also consider key topics like risk management, training, partnership models, planning and scheduling, contractual monitoring and IT it’s hardly surprising that the issue of contractor management is becoming increasingly important.
This conference will cover these topics, and more, and will give you all the tools and techniques you need to overcome these challenges. With best practice case studies from Halliburton, London Underground, Merck, OMV, Ontario Power Generation and Rolls-Royce this is a once in a lifetime chance to learn from those at the “coal face” of contractor management. You will also hear from the contractors themselves, getting their essential view on issues like relationship building, health and safety and performance measurement.
To download the conference brochure, and for more information please go to www.tacook.co.uk/cm2008
Packed with networking opportunities where you can thrash out your own challenges with the experts, this event offers you the most comprehensive platform to discuss these crucial issues.
You can also benefit form attending a pre-conference workshop. Gain a more comprehensive view of the individual issues being addressed, in a relaxed and informative environment. The workshops available at this event are:
Workshop A: Leading and Motivating Contracted Crews
Workshop B: Creating Value: Contract Management – A Wider View
For more information or to register please visit www.tacook.co.uk/cm2008 or contact the events team at info@tacook.com or +44 (0) 121 616 0190.

National Chemical Engineers Symposium (NACES) 2008 in University Putra Malaysia
Sunday, April 06, 2008
The next National Chemical Engineers Symposium (NACES) 2008, will be held in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) from 1st to 3rd of August 2008.
What is NACES?
National Chemical Engineers Symposium (NACES) is an annual gathering for all chemical engineering undergraduates from both public and private universities from all over Malaysia. This program can enhance the integration among chemical engineering undergraduates from different races. Apart from that, this program can provide exposure on the issues and challenges faced by chemical engineers in the era of globalization in their effort to develop the country.
In year 2005, NACES was held by Universiti Malaya (UM) in collaboration with Institute of Chemical Engineers Malaysia (IJKM). In year 2006, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) became the host for this program. Last year, NACES 2007 was held successfully in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM).
Objectives
There are all together 4 very good objectives for NACES 2008. The objectives are as follows:
2. To draw interest and concern of the undergraduates over the importance of chemical and petroleum-based industries, and highlight chemical and petroleum engineers as potential driving force to the country’s development.
3. To create a venue for all universities in Malaysia to gather their thoughts and ideas for enhancement of our future as chemical engineers.
4. To provide an opportunity for participants and committee members from various social backgrounds to interact with each other and build new friendships.
Theme
The key to restoring climate stability is shifting from a fossil-fuel- based energy economy to one based on renewable sources of energy and hydrogen. The good news is that this shift is well underway. The bad news is that it may not be happening fast enough to avoid a climate- disrupting buildup of pollution.
The burning of coal, the dirtiest and most carbon-intensive fossil fuel, peaked in 1996 and has dropped by 6% since then. This historical peak marked the first decline in the use of a fossil fuel. It may be followed by a similar peak in oil use within the next five to 15 years. In contrast, renewables, starting from a small base, are growing at an extraordinary pace. Worldwide, wind electric generation grew by 32% a year from 1995 to 2001. In 2001, it grew by a robust 36%. And in the United States, wind electric generating capacity jumped by a phenomenal 66% in 2001.
Continue reading about the theme here.I seriusly urge junior chemical engineer to attend this symposium for to gain more exposure on the industry. Personally, I've attended the previous NACES 2007 hosted by the Faculty of Chemical and Natural Resources Engineering (FKKSA), UTM as a judge for the forum/debate and a workshop moderator. I can observed students actively participating and discussing throughout the session. It was a great event. I'm sure that students attending any NACES program will gain valuable precious input from the event. However, I think it is good if they can include some sort of process or production plant tour in their agenda. It will be really good if the students can see the actual distillation column, heat exchanger, cooling tower, boiler, piping, pump, understand why NPSH is very important, and learn a lot more. Well, that purely depends on the organizing committee. I'm sure they've work so hard to plan and make the whole program perfectly realized. If only there are companies in our industry who can allow students to conduct a brief site visit, that would be very lovely.
Registration deadline is at 11th April while payment are expected to be completed before 18th April. Fees are RM70 and each university are only allowed to send maximum 30 representatives.

More From PIPOC 2007
Friday, August 31, 2007
A little bit more photos captured from PIPOC 2007 exhibitions in Kuala Lumpur Convention Center for me to share with you. Hmmm....Just to let you know, I'm not being paid for reviewing the products. I just took some photos and share them in this blog. I hope you can benefit from it and in case you need more informations, you can go to their respective websites to explore more about the products and its features.
A bellow seal stop valve - ARI FABA maintenance free bellow seal stop valve is designed with double wall bellow seal as standard. The sizes range from DN 15 to DN 400 (1/2" to 16"). Connections available: Flanged end to PN16, PN 25, PN40, ANSI B16.5 Class 150 and Class 300; Butt weld end and socket well end. I took this photo from Valmatic Engineering Sdn Bhd.
This is a pressure leaf filter displaying a flap door at the bottom of it. The flap door discharge is an excellent replacement to the existing butterfly valve as well as an improvement to the wedge lock door currently available in the market. The flap door discharge cake is specially designed to be used on a vertical pressure leaf filters. The trap door cake discharge is compact, light and easy to install. It require no modification on the vessel and the replacement of the lipseal is quick and easy.
This is the same pressure leaf filter with its hydraulic flap door going to be closed. The pressure leaf filter was displayed and demonstrated by Tapis Teknik. I found this product very interesting because at my plant, we use a huge butterfly valve to discharge the cake and when the liner is has problem, it is very difficult and trouble some to replace them.
I never heard FUNKE before. Funke is a company from German manufacturing heat exchangers. Well, I know some companies producing heat exchanger such as Smidth-Breten, Alfa Laval, Graham and Hisaka. Funke is new to me. Well, at least I learn and know that this company exist and I may get some of them later. Funke produced a wide range of plate heat exchangers. Check out their website for more information: www.funke.de. In Malaysia, Waterfield is distributing the Funke heat exchanger.
This is a 4" bellows sealed globe valve produced by W.T.A. This is the latest and one of the advance globe valve produced by W.T.A. and it's distributed by Beavermatics Sdn Bhd. It can withstand high temperatures up to 400 degree celcius and has a lot more safety features. Check on their websites to learn more.Ops....don't forget to check out the new www.chemical-engineering-forum.com.

PIPOC 2007 KLCC
Wednesday, August 29, 2007
Today I went to PIPOC (International Palm Oil Congress) 2007 held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Center (KLCC). It was a day trip (we (3 engineers) traveled all the way from JB) and I just returned home, exhausted. The exhibition was not as big as I expected. Last year's OFIC 2006 (Oil and Fats International Conference) was better than PIPOC 2007 in terms of company participation. It took me just above 1 hour to complete touring the entire booths.
I did not attend the technical paper presentation this time. I just visited the exhibition only.
Various types of mini palm oil fruits. This palm oil gene produces a shorter palm oil treefor easier fruit plucking.
Various types of digital pressure gauges. I only use analog pressure gauges and pressure transmitter in my plant. Digital pressure gauge reading is more accurate and is easy to calibrate on site

My job is not flexible enough to allow me to visit the recent Oil and Fats International Congress (OFIC) 2006 in Cairo last March. That's fine. Even if I can go, I don't have the budget!!! If I'm a researcher and I have a research grant and have a paper to present, then I can probably go. I participated in OFIC 2006 in Kuala Lumpur last year. Check out my previous post:
I'm back from the Congress
OFIC 2006 Exhibition
OFIC 2006 Modules
Enough about that, back to OFIC 2007. The aim of the conference was to provide a good overview of the edible oils and fats industry by covering current processes and products together with a look at future trends. Expert speakers were invited from all over the world. Day 1 focused on raw materials and their processing, and Day 2 on applications, both industrial and consumer products. Other subjects covered included quality control, crystallisation , labelling and nutrition.
A colleague of mine from Taiko Clay who went to OFIC 2007 in Cairo was kind enough to email me the link to the list of papers/slides presented during the conference - soci.org.
Among the interesting topic covered during the conference are:
Production and Processing - An Overview of Future Trends
Ken Carlson, Crown, USA
Potentials in Bleaching Earth Reduction - Theoretical Background, Industrial Results
Gunter Börner, OHMI Engineering, Germany
Formulation and use of Frying Oils
Adam Thomas, AarhusKarlshamn, UK
Life Cycle Assessment of Vegetable Oils & Spreads
Erich Dumelin, Unilever, The Netherlands
There are a lot more fantastic and informative titles. Check out soci.org.
The next OFIC 2007 will be held in China. Are you going??

NACE - Corrosion 2008 Conference and Expo
Monday, April 02, 2007
Do you know that there is an organization called NACE? What is NACE?
Corrosion problem in the chemical as well as oil and gas industry is very critical. That's why "National Association of Corrosion Engineers" (NACE) was created.
NACE International mission is to protect people, assets, and the environment from the effect of corrosion globally. Their members work in corporations, educational institutions, research facilities, and the federal government. Whether you are a scientist, engineer, contractor, student or simply someone who possesses a real commitment to the advancement of corrosion control, you are invited to become part of this dynamic and influential organization. Personally, I have used NACE standard to measure corrosion rate in the pipelines in my present work and in my previous oil and gas job.
Next year, NACE International returns to New Orleans in 2008 and invites your participation in the NACE International Corrosion 2008 Conference and Expo . Be a part of a world-renowned collection of technical presentations on the most current and innovative corrosion technology for industry professionals.
