This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be having a visit on Sunday 21st August, 2016. Trip starts at 7.00am.
PETRONAS Penapisan (Terengganu) Sdn Bhd – PP(T)SB was incorporated in 1982 to meet a need to process and add value to the indigenous crude from offshore Terengganu, as well as to secure reliable, efficient, safe and cost effective supply of refined petroleum products to the PETRONAS Group of Companies. PP(T)SB has proven its capability in providing efficient, safe, reliable uninterrupted supply of petroleum products such as gasoline, LPG, diesel, jet fuel, naphtha and Low Sulphur Waxy Residue (LSWR) to its domestic customers and also exported to several overseas destinations. PP(T)SB has been entrusted to manage and operate the Aromatics plant complex, which is owned by 70% PETRONAS Chemical Aromatics Sdn Bhd (PC AROMATICS) and 30% Mitsubishi Corporation & JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation – (MJPX Co. Limited), that produces paraxylene and benzene. Quality and HSE ranks high in PP(T)SB’s business operations as it strives to ensure that existing petroleum products specifications are met and employees are regularly trained on strict HSE measures to inculcate and maintain high level of awareness on the impact of the refinery’s operations to natural surroundings. Towards this end, PP(T)SB received the MS ISO 9002, ISO 14001, ISO/IEC 10725 and received several national level HSE awards such as MSOSH Gold Award, Notable Achievement and Terengganu State Award in Prime Minister’s Hibiscus Award 2012/2013.

My technical division will be hosting a 1/2 day seminar on the 16th January, 2015. It is worth 3.5 CPD points, and held at Wisma IEM. The course will be presented by Ir. Anwar Ahmad.
During this Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Thermal Design course, there will be overview on the thermal design for designing shell and tube heat exchanger by considering design, operational, and maintenance perspective. The design of the heat exchanger is extremely important, as it is the key element of a heat-exchanged system. This is not only on the desired temperature to achieve during operation but also when considering the optimum design prior procuring an exchanger. Furthermore, properly designed heat exchanger can reduce the turn-down time for maintenance as no frequent cleaning is required while operating the plant or platform. Technologies involved in this thermal technology will be discussed during the workshop to highlight the importance and advantages when designing and operating shell and tube heat exchanger (STHE).
Ir. Anwar Ahmad is a registered Professional Engineer with Board of Engineer (BEM), Corporate Member with Institute of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), Corporate Member with Institute of Chemical Engineers, UK (IChemE), Chartered Engineer from Engineering Council, UK with more than eleven (11) years experiences in process engineering in oil and gas industry, mainly in design with engineering firm and operation for technical support during turn around.

This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be having a course on 27th November, presented by Ir Assoc. Prof. Dr. Satesh Namasivayam . It’ll be at 9am at Wisma IEM.
Ready to engineer. So it is said. But what is engineer and how do you engineer? What are the barriers to engineer and what are the key factors necessary to educate engineer? How to think like an engineer? Incorporating CDIOTM framework through Project based learning (PBL) can be one of the solutions. The CDIOTM initiative has been developing as more collaborators from all over the globe are taking this initiative as a base for their educational institutions adopting what so-called the “active learning” policy which includes, but not limited to, a complete system of a well-designed syllabus covering the skills and characteristics of graduating engineers.
Throughout CDIOTM phases, the learning process has changed from passive-note taking to more active-project-based education. This half-day workshop is designed with three (3) objectives as follows
- Introduce participants to Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate initiative
- Integrate CDIO initiative in curriculum to address complex, value added engineering products, processes, systems in modern and team-based environment;
- Review the know-how of conceiving, designing, implementing and operating complex engineering systems of appropriate complexity.
Ir Assoc Prof Dr. Satesh Namasivayam BEng (1st Class Hons) PhD (London) FIMechE MIEM CEng PEng CIT (HRDF) is a Chartered and Professional Mechanical Engineer, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Deputy Dean from the School of Engineering at Taylor’s University, Malaysia.

This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be hosting a talk on the 5th November, 2015 by Dr. Hii. It’ll be at 5:30 pm. Since the oil & gas market seems to be slowing down for the next 2 years, this might be a good place to park your glutus maximus.
Are you currently thinking about doing a postgraduate degree? Are you planning to switch your career to academic teaching? Do you like doing research to strengthen your expertise/research area? Currently, there are various postgraduate (PG) degree programs (PhD, EngD, MSc, MRes, MPhil, etc.) available in the market. Some PG degrees can be done by fulltime or part time basis, and can even be done via distance learning. There are so many options available and the question is, how to choose the right one? The aim of this talk is to provide a “beginners guide” to PG degree for chemical engineers/working professionals from the engineering industry. The talk will present what are the options currently available especially for those that do not wish to do it full time. The costs and time frame involved will also be presented. Career choice upon completion of a PG degree will also be presented.
Dr. Hii completed his BEng (Hons) in Chemical Engineering at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (1996), his MSc in Food Processing and Engineering at Universiti Putra Malaysia (2004), and his PhD (Chemical Engineering) at The University of Nottingham, Malaysia Campus (2010). He joined UNMC as academic staff since August 2010 at the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering. Prior to joining UNMC, he worked as a Senior Research Officer in Cocoa Downstream Research Center, Malaysian Cocoa Board (1997 – 2007). Currently, he is the Academic Champion for the Center of Food and Bio-product Processing and Deputy Head of the Manufacturing and Industrial Processes research division. He is also advisor to UNMC-IEM Student Chapter.
