This is a shout out for the IEM. The Chemical Engineering Technical Division (know as CETD to friends) will be having a pre-AGM talk on Saturday, 3rd October, 2015, presented by Mohd Rizal Mohd Tajuddin.
The talk is intended to provide an appreciation of past process safety incidents, identify the common underlying causes amongst the famous past process safety incidents, the lessons that have and can further be learnt, barriers that have hindered opportunities to prevent repeat events and suggested enablers to incorporate lessons into the heart of engineering.
As for the speaker:
Mohd Rizal Mohd Tajuddin is a Technical Safety Engineer with almost fifteen (15+) years of working experience, in both engineering and operations. He has worked on diverse projects in chemical industries, petrochemical industries, water treatment facilities, onshore and offshore facilities locally and internationally. He was trained as a Technical Safety cum Process Safety Engineer with PLC International, Worley Parsons, PETROFAC and PETRONAS. He was the Technical Safety Specialist of Upstream HSE, PETRONAS. He has been working with various projects starting from conceptual stage until handover and follow on to Operation and Maintenance phases with various Oil and Gas Operators BP, ExxonMobil, PETRONAS, SHELL, ConocoPhillips and Woodside. He has been seconded to various project offices including overseas assignment to Jakarta, Indonesia as well as Perth, Australia for ConocoPhillips and Woodside projects. His expertise include engineering safety, risk assessment and management, asset integrity and reliability.
You can register for the talk here. Also register for the AGM, please.

This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be hosting a talk on the 12th August, 2015, by Dr Jitkai Chin. It’ll be at 5:30 pm (makan-makan at 5:00).
Since microfluidic technology was introduced nearly two decades ago, it has attracted attention from researchers around the world because of its unique features of miniaturisation – reduced raw material consumption and waste generated, large surface area to volume ratio and etc. In recent years, the technology has been introduced and adapted by pharmaceutical and food industries to improve product quality and energy efficiency. In this talk, the important theories of microfluidic technology will be introduced with examples of application. The talk is suitable for chemical engineers, mechanical engineers as well as electrical and electronic engineers.
This talk intends to raise awareness of participants on the increasing importance of CFD in the oil and gas industry. This is achieved by sharing real life examples of CFD applications in Malaysia and how it helped companies in understanding process and equipment issues and assisted them in making sound engineering decisions.
Dr Jitkai Chin obtained his BEng (Hons) in Chemical and Process Engineering with Biotechnology and PhD from Department of Chemical and Process Engineering, University of the Sheffield, UK in 2001 and 2007 respectively. He was appointed Assistant Professor in University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus in 2007. He was then promoted to Associate Professor in 2011 with 15 ranking international journal papers and awards behind him. His research interests including the droplet microfluidics, microthrusters, propellants and graphene.

This is a shout out for the IEM. The Chemical Engineering Technical Division (know as CETD to friends) will be having a talk on Wed afternoon, 6th May, 2015, by Dr. Hiroyuki Yoshida .
Dr. Hiroyuki Yoshida obtained B. Eng. Degree in 1969 and Dr. Eng. in 1977 in Chemical Engineering from Osaka Prefecture University, Japan. He worked for this University from 1974 to 2013. He became a professor in 1995. From 2013, he has been working for Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, UPM as a contract professor.
Sub-Critical water is high temperature and high pressure water but lower than those of critical points (647 K, 22.1 MPa). It shows three typical characteristics. Firstly, sub-critical water (sub-CW) has a great hydrolysis power at around 520 K and organic solids quickly decompose into low-molecular-weight valuable materials. Secondly, sub-CW works as a strong solvent and can extract oil almost perfectly at once. Thirdly, when the temperature is higher than about 600 K, hydrolysis power becomes small and pyrolysis power becomes great. The pyrolysis reaction can convert organics to liquid oil (alternative heavy crude oil) and/or solid char.
