Shout Out – One Day Workshop on Industrial Wastewater Analysis

June 25, 2012

This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be  hosting a seminar on the 9th July, 2012. It’ll start at 9:00 and is worth 7 CPD hours.

The fluctuation of effluent quality is always a challenge for industrial wastewater treatment. Wastewater analysis conducted by competent personnel is very important to provide accurate characteristics of the effluent so that the actual condition of the treatment efficiency can be evaluated effectively. In practice, precise and consistent measurement is sometimes difficult to obtain and is mainly due to the lack of knowledge and experience in analysis for most cases.

The workshop on “Industrial Wastewater Analysis” is aimed to help in capacity building and to build confidence in industrial wastewater monitoring and analysis. Technicians, engineers, chemists, scientists and researchers who work in water and wastewater related areas are greatly welcome. The objective of this workshop is to provide knowledge, introductory training and basic skills on industrial wastewater analysis through lectures and discussion. Some simple hands-on demonstration will be arranged during the workshop.

Ir. Assoc. Prof. Dr Chong Mei Fong obtained her BEng (Chemical) at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) and her PhD at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). She received several “Sanggar Sanjung” awards for publications with journals of high impact factor. She joined The University of Nottingham, Malaysia Campus as an Assistant Professor to start her professional career. In 2009, she worked as a visiting scholar to Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU), Taiwan. In the same year, the WaterInno Award gold medal was conferred on her for her outstanding works on wastewater treatment.

(Cancelled) Shout Out – 2 Day Course on Quality Improvement Via Statistical Process Control

November 15, 2011

This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be  hosting a seminar on the 5th till 6th December, 2011. It’ll start at 8:30 and is worth 13 CPD hours. You still gotta climb those steps at Wisma IEM. They promise up that the elevator will be ready by the next AGM.

Statistics are tools used to make predictions on performance. There are a number of simple methods for analysing data and, if applied correctly, can lead to predictions with a high degree of accuracy. Statistical Process Control, SPC is a branch of applied statistics for quality control. It is statistical analysis of the predictability and capacity of a process to give a uniform product. SPC is a popular industry tool for the collection, analysis and interpretation of data for use in quality control activities. This module covers the basic concepts of statistical analysis and their application to practical problems in process control.

The concept of SPC is then further extended for multivariate process. Multivariate Statistical Process Control, MSPC procedures allow production personnel to simultaneously observe several variables on one consolidated chart. Second part of the workshop focuses on multivariate extensions for all kinds of univariate control charts, such as multivariate control charts. In addition, we review unique procedures for the construction of multivariate control charts, based on multivariate statistical techniques such as principal components analysis (PCA) and Hotelling’s T2 method.

Engr. Dr. Lam Hon Loong, is an Assist. Professor with University of Nottingham, Malaysia Campus. He pursued double PhD in Chemical Engineering, 2010 (University of Maribor, Slovenia) and Information Technology, 2011 (University of Pannonia, Hungary).    His research topics are process quality control and supply chain synthesis. He has completed his Bachelor Degree, 2000 and Master Degree, 2004 in Chemical Engineering, both from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia with specialisation in process system engineering.
