This is a shout out for IEM. The Chemical Engineering Technical Division will be organizing a Two-Day Course on Corrosion Control of Steel Structures by Coating Technology & Cathodic Protection on the 8th and 9th November, 2012 (Thursday & Friday) at Wisma IEM, PJ. The session is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. (registration at 8.30 a.m.) and end around 5 p.m. Participant will be granted 8 CPD/ PDP hours at the end of the course.
Corrosion has been a concern in many industries. Corrosion can cause unexpected failures of structures and can result in huge losses in life, production as well as environmental. It has been reported that corrosion can, on average, causing around 3% of GNP in many industrialized countries. Coating and Cathodic protection are two of few most effective corrosion protection methods available in the industry nowadays. It has been successfully used to overcome corrosion and extension of service life of structures.
The course is divided into three main parts. The first part deals with the fundamental of corrosion and its type, the second part will focus on the corrosion control by coating technology while the third part focus on cathodic protection.
The course will introduce you to the following topics:
- Fundamental of Corrosion
- Type of Corrosion and Its Recognition
- Type of Corrosion Control Methods
- Introduction to Corrosion Control by Coating
- Paint Components and Types of Binders, Pigments, Fillers and their Functions
- Requirements for Optimum Protection
- Failures and Type of Failures of Paints
- Criteria of Cathodic Protection
- Electrical Measurement for Cathodic Protection System

This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be hosting a talk on the 6th November, 2012. It’ll be at 5:30 pm (makan-makan at 5:00). There’s an elevator at Wisma IEM, so no excuses.
The Oil and Gas Industry has a huge range of activities from exploration, extraction and production, processing and manufacturing of hydrocarbons.
The potential for corrosion to occur exists at all these stages as long as metallic materials are used. Corrosion if left unchecked can lead to disastrous failures that can cause huge impact to loss of production, damage to facilities and environment, and safety of personnel and the public. The key issues relating to HSSE, Cost, Integrity and Quality for an effective and successful prevention of corrosion are discussed in this presentation.
At the end of this presentation, the attendees should be aware of different corrosion processes in the different areas of activities, how design decisions are made to control predicted corrosion, and the keys to corrosion management during operations and production.

C’mon. Buy my recommendations, or through my Amazon store. Where are those corporate sponsors? Or throw donations at me.
If you need my help to submit your CVs, donate to the blog, and I’ll review your CV to see if it is worthy of my (and my associates’) expectations. If you can’t figure out how to donate, no need to ask.
May I suggest that readers try Bluestacks? Run your Android apps on your Windows tablet, so you can buy that Win8 tablet (and buy me one) without worrying you won’t have anything to play on it!
Support your local bookshop! Bookalicious at The Summit Subang is a good choice. I think they focus on trilogies, quadrilogies, and other ologies. Tell them I sent you, and enjoy the look of perplexity on their faces. Those of you who have dropped my name, thanks!
With all the unfortunate accidents happening in Malaysian waters lately, I think a selection of safety books is in order:
Functional Safety, Second Edition: A Straightforward Guide to Applying IEC 61508 and Related Standards, Layer of Protection Analysis: Simplified Process Risk Assessment (Camino del Sol), Safety Critical Systems Handbook: A STRAIGHTFOWARD GUIDE TO FUNCTIONAL SAFETY, IEC 61508 (2010 EDITION) AND RELATED STANDARDS, INCLUDING PROCESS IEC 61511 AND MACHINERY IEC 62061 AND ISO 13849

(petikan nota kaki Kelsen – The Principles of International Law)
Kebelakangan ini pihak yang menuntut royalti minyak cuba memperkecilkan hujah yang saya lontar di dalam posting sebelumnya dengan bercerita mengenai kes monumental antara Duff Development Company Ltd v. State Government of Kelantan di House of Lords yang mendengar rayuan dari English Court of Appeal dan King’s bench Division pada 10 April 1924. Ini semua hanya untuk mempertahankan kenyataan Husam Musa bahawa ‘Mahkamah Dunia’ menetapkan Kelantan sebagai negeri berdaulat.
Apakah mereka membaca sepenuhnya pendirian 5 anggota House of Lords yang bersidang mengenai imuiniti sesebuah wilayah asing berdaulat dari dibicarakan di bawah undang-undang Mahkamah United Kingdom? Benar kes ini banyak dirujuk dalam perbicaraan melibatkan imuiniti sesebuah wilayah berdaulat.
Berikut adalah surat daripada Wakil Kerajaan British kepada Mahkamah yang disandarkan oleh House of Lords dalam membuat keputusan. Rujuk perkara 2 dan 3 di dalam surat tersebut (dipetik dari mukasurat 31 – Public International…

Dateline 2012-09-19:
Malaysia is poised to be the region’s hub for liquefied natural gas (LNG) importation, trading and storage once its LNG regassification terminal in Malacca is ready.
“With the LNG terminal, which will hopefully come on stream in October, we believe that we are poised to be the regional hub for LNG importation, trading and storage,” Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department and Performance Management and Delivery Unit chief executive officer Datuk Seri Idris Jala said.
“A lot of work is also being done in the east (of the country), and I have no doubt in my mind that the plant that the Sipitang Oil and Gas Industrial Park (Sogip) is building in Sabah will also add to the whole array of things happening in the industry,” he said at the inaugural Malaysia Oil and Gas Services Exhibition and Conference 2012 (MOGSEC).

My technical division will be hosting a 1 day seminar on the 20th November, 2012. It is worth 6 CPD points, and held at Kelab Golf Negara Subang. Since I’m giving it, I expect hoards will have to be turned away at the gates.
A Hazard and Operability study is a formal and systematic and detailed examination of the process and engineering intentions of new or existing facilities which assesses the hazard potential and effects on the facility as a whole when operation is outside of the design envelope, or individual items of equipment malfunction.
This course is designed to educate participants in the HAZOP process from the perspective of a HAZOP team member. It is meant to provide both instruction and workshop sessions so that the participants:
- Are familiar with the concept of ‘risk’
- Are familiar with the theory behind HAZOP
- Are familiar with the actual HAZOP workshop process
- Have expectations as to what the HAZOP will (and won’t provide)
- Understand what deliverables can be expected from a HAZOP
- Have the opportunity to participate in HAZOP exercise in a safe environment
- Opportunity to share HAZOP experiences
At the end of the session, the participants should:
- Understand the responsibilities of all parties in the HAZOP
- Have experience in a HAZOP session.
- Understand the outcomes from a HAZOP session
Wata has 16 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, in both design and operations.
