IEM Shout Out – Talk on An Introduction to A Pneumatic Conveying System, Its Advantages and Practical Selection Guidelines

August 31, 2014

This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be having a talk on Saturday 6th Septermber, 2014 by Ir. Low Chew Eow (Rocky). It’ll be at 9:00am (makan-makan at 8.30am) at Wisma IEM.

A Pneumatic Conveying system is used to transfer items from one place to another. It is widely found in various industries. In the petrochemical industry, a Pneumatic Conveying system is used to transfer products in the form of powder or pellets into the bagging system for example. There are various types of Pneumatic Conveying system and each type is selected to best suit its applications. A Pneumatic Conveying system is usually chosen when it has to meet various stringent requirements for a clean environment, having minimum maintenance downtime and needing to operate within a congested plant footprint. It is also very reliable when a long continuous operation is required. The talk will provide an introduction of the system’s design and selection criteria for different type of systems such as “Open/Close Loop”, “Positive or Negative Conveying” and “Dilute or Dense Phase”. It will also impart knowledge on equipment selection that makes up the complete system such as blower or screw compressor, cooler (if required), type of diverter valve and type of piping to be used.

Ir. Low Chew Eow (Rocky) graduated from the University of Glasgow, UK with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1990. He has more than 24 years of working experience in various roles, of which about 16 years are in the oil and gas industry. He specializes in Pneumatic Conveying System in the food, mining and petrochemical industry where he has been involved from the designing, fabrication, installation and commissioning stages. He is currently the Head of Package Equipment Department in Technip Consultant (M) Sdn. Bhd. He is also the Member of Expert Network specializing in Pneumatic Conveying System within the Technip group. You can register here and download the flyer here.

IEM Shout Out – Talk on Mastering Physical Laws: Reminders to Engineers

August 7, 2014

This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be having a talk on Saturday 9th August, 2014 by Ir. Al-Khairi. It’ll be at 9:00am (makan-makan at 8.30am) at Wisma IEM. Due to the topic, I expect a lot of our friendly law enforcement and massive camera presence

 

A physical law or scientific law, according to the Oxford English dictionary, “is a theoretical principle deduced from particular facts, applicable to a defined group or class of phenomena, and expressible by the statement that a particular phenomenon always occurs if certain conditions be present.”Wikipedia.
So if the physical laws are always true than we can repeat success every time when the success conditions are presents. Similarly we can avert failures or even predict poor consequences whenever the conditions are met.
As long as we live in this earth the physical laws will always govern us. The questions are:

  • Are you aware of the physical laws that govern your life?
  • How can you benefits from the laws?

To be successful, you must not beat the physical laws. You must use the laws to your advantage. The physical laws are always present. We just don’t realize how to get the laws working to our favours.
To fly, you don’t ignore gravity. You use the understanding of gravity to defy falling down.
This talk will expand on the physical laws in experiential manner for you to uncover your hidden potential and what has hindered you from success. The physical laws can be used in all aspect of your life, management, business, relationship.
This talk will not only change the way you think about physics. It will make you be part of the physical world.

Ir. Al-Khairi has 20 years of experience in research, cement, oil and gas, petrochemical, oleo chemicals industries and health care facilities. He has gained various experiences in design, construction, testing and commissioning, operate and maintain facilities and plants from various multinational companies both abroad and locally. He has served in various roles as engineers and manager to the plant and facilities.

Is Malaysia’s Pengerang Part of Greater Singapore?

July 18, 2014

Definitely link bait. Please bite. Greater Singapore, indeed.

Dateline 2014-050-26, The Establishment Post:

Pengerang used to be a fishing village famous for its succulent lobsters. Each weekend a good number of Singaporeans would take a two-hour drive to get to the southernmost tip of Johor on the east to savour Pengerang’s lobsters and other sea delights fresh from the Johor Straits. It had at least eight seafood restaurants, way too many for a tiny township.

Two years ago, reclamation work started in the coastal area of Pengerang and there were no more fishermen and neither was there any more coast for fishing. This was the start of a massive RM170 billion (US$53 billion) project called the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC).

This is said to be the biggest project ever by Malaysia in terms of scale and size. Lawmakers and corporate leaders claim that this project Pengerang in will turn Malaysia into a mega petrochemical. But what about the Greater Singapore plan?

IEM Shout Out – Talk on Introduction to Explosives in Industry

July 10, 2014

This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be having a talk on Saturday 12th July, 2014 by IIr. Hj. Look Keman. It’ll be at 9:00am (makan-makan at 8.30am) at Wisma IEM. Due to the topic, I expect a lot of our friendly law enforcement and massive camera presence

 

Explosives is actually an essential part of our modern life. It is used to break rock in Quarries so that we can get aggregates for our roads, airport, housing and building construction, port, bridges and used in countless projects. With use of explosives we get minerals and metals, oil and gas, coal that provides the electricity that we need in our daily life. Explosives are also used in our annual Merdeka celebration to light our skies (fireworks) and we live with it daily in our cars (airbags). Explosives are sometimes used in medical treatment of heart. The fastest way to bring down old buildings is through the use of explosives.

 

There are so many uses of explosives in industry. The talk is to introduce the use of explosives that benefit our daily life and dispense the belief that explosives are used for destructive purposes only. It is also an introduction to futures course in explosives in civil, mining quarrying and other industries that are of interest to engineers by the technical division.

 

Ir. Hj. Look Keman graduated in 1979 in Mining Engineering from Strathclyde University, Glasgow, Scotland and M.Sc (Explosives Ordnance Engineering) from Royal Military College of Science, Cranfield University, England in 1991. He served as a Research Engineer specialising in Geotechnical Engineering/Slope Engineering and later as Inspector of Mines serving in Perak, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan and Malacca with the former Mines Department from 1979-1996. As a Government Engineer he oversees Construction blasting work in Kuala Lumpur at SOGO, Starhill, Pudu, Damansara and Selangor. He had experience in the investigation of Firework Factory where 26 people were killed.in 1991. He was responsible for designing a firework magazine for Al Famosa. After retirement he work as Consulting Engineer specialising in Explosives and Blasting work and also rock breaking using non-explosives demolition agent.
