<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">An Interview with John Thurtell, PhD </span></h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">
<span lang="EN-MY">John Thurtell, Engineering Global Support Office
(EGSO) Manager of ExxonMobil Business Support Centre Malaysia Sdn Bhd, said
demand growth in the chemical industry is anticipated to strengthen over time,
linked to the growth of the broader economy. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY"><span lang="EN-MY">“Most chemical demand growth is in
Asia, driven by manufacturing of consumer products for both worldwide export
and to serve the growing Asian middle class. These consumers are expected to
purchase more packaged goods, appliances, cars, tyres and clothing, many of
which are manufactured from chemical products,” he said. “Asia Pacific has
accounted for more than two-thirds of global demand growth since 2000, and this
trend is expected to continue,” said the Canadian who has just arrived in Malaysia
approximately half a year back. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">In the next decade, global chemical
demand is expected to grow by 50%, driven by improving prosperity in developing
countries. Large scale investments are ongoing in the region, particularly in
Singapore and China where world-class facilities are being built in the
refining and chemical businesses. Thurtell feels this augurs well for the chemical
engineering profession as the industry boom will require more engineers with
strong professional capabilities in every aspect of the business. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Will the development of the oil
& gas sectors in Malaysia & Asia Pacific region affect the chemical
engineering profession? In Malaysia, ExxonMobil has been operating for over a
century. In fact this year marks the company’s 120 years in Malaysia, which is
a significant milestone. Thurtell said: “We are a major oil producer and
natural gas supplier in Peninsular Malaysia. We produce about a fifth of the
nation’s crude oil and condensate and supply about half of its natural gas
needs which is mainly used </span><span lang="EN-MY">for power generation. Beyond upstream operations, our
Business Support Centre, which is the second largest within ExxonMobil, also
hosts ExxonMobil’s IT infrastructure and provides IT support across the globe
24/7.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">As an engineering-based company,
ExxonMobil hires a lot of engineers to meet the operating needs of its
business. “We also employ engineers in our EGSO in Kuala Lumpur. By virtue of
the EGSO functionally reporting to ExxonMobil Research and Engineering (EMRE),
our engineers are given the opportunity to provide technical, engineering and
application support for ExxonMobil’s manufacturing plants around the world,” he
explained, adding that about 95% of its total workforce is Malaysian which
“reflects the tremendous local talent we have in our organisation”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
</span></span><h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">PROFESSIONAL BODIES</span> </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Sadly, many chemical engineers are not registered
with the Board of Engineers Malaysia. We asked Thurtell what ExxonMobil is
doing to help develop young graduate engineers into professional engineers. </span>He
said: “We recognise that engineers play many different roles, depending on
their specific job scope. ExxonMobil values the role of certification to ensure
compliance with regulatory and process requirements. At ExxonMobil, membership
in professional boards is not a prerequisite to employment or an on-the-job
requirement as much of our focus is on safe and reliable project management and
implementation, as well as operations of our existing facilities. Nevertheless,
we are fully supportive of employees who wish to pursue qualifications to
improve or maintain their skills and have over the years provided education
assistance and reimbursement of the full cost of studies upon successful
completion. We also provide internal training programme to strengthen the
technical skills of our engineers.”
<br />
<br />
<h3>
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Chemical engineers can help to promote sustainable development
in the country. Thurtell said ExxonMobil’s commitment to operating in an
environmentally responsible manner is anchored in its Environment Policy, which
fosters appropriate operating practices and training, and requires its
facilities to be designed, operated and managed with the goal of preventing
environmental incidents. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">He added: “Our ‘Protect Tomorrow.
Today.’ Initiative guides our management processes to continuously improve environmental
performance. Our business operations continue to drive enhancements in
environmental performance by incorporating Environmental Business Planning into
the annual business planning cycle. In Malaysia, one example where
environmental considerations are incorporated into the design basis of our facilities
is the use of a hybrid power-generation system on our unmanned satellite
platforms. Solar panels produce about half the electricity required, and
thermoelectric generators provide the other half. This combination ensures high
reliability and low operating costs. Within the global ExxonMobil group, we
also focus on various renewable energy initiatives, apart from doing energy
optimisation such as co-generation, etc.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Thurtell shared with us more about
ExxonMobil’s new Engineering Global Support Office in Malaysia and the industry
as a whole.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span><br />
<h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Q: What is the
role of this new office? Why Malaysia?<o:p></o:p></span></h4>
<span lang="EN-MY">
<br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY"><span lang="EN-MY">As a whole, Malaysia is a very attractive
place to do business because the country has a stable economic and political
climate, a talented workforce that is proficient in English, and good
infrastructure and connectivity. One of the strongest selling points for us is
the exceptional talent pool that is available locally for technical skills and
which we can grow and develop into world-class engineers. The government agencies
that we worked with were also very supportive of bringing in foreign
investment. </span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-MY">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">The goal of the Engineering Global
Support Organisation (EGSO) Office in Kuala Lumpur is to work with EMRE’s
Central Engineering (US) and Area Engineering Offices around the globe to
provide high quality engineering to our manufacturing operations around the
world. “However, the interesting part is that, EGSO actually has no projects in
Malaysia, since we have no downstream operations in this country. So it only
does work for the rest of the world!” Since its opening in July 2011, EGSO has
grown quickly and currently has over 50 engineers, predominantly chemical
engineers and some mechanical engineers, performing a wide range of technically
advanced work for sites in the US, Europe and Asia Pacific. We are trying to
create an environment where we enable talented engineers to do great work for
our internal customers. The population here that is culturally diverse also
helps our newly employed engineers to adapt to different working cultures very
easily. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">“Personally I like this place too,
including its weather! Of course I miss the cold... but people here are
friendly, <span lang="EN-MY" style="line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">helpful
and easy to engage with. So I like this place!”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
</div>
</span><h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Q: What are the different positions available to chemical
engineers in the Oil & Gas industry? What kind of positions would fresh
graduates normally hold and, apart from good academic results, what are the
main qualities that MNCs like ExxonMobil look for in fresh graduates?<o:p></o:p></span></h4>
<span lang="EN-MY">
<br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY"><span lang="EN-MY">Like many companies, in addition
to excellent academic performance, we look for candidates with leadership and
communication skills, analytical capability, honesty and integrity. Other
qualities include drive, initiative, perseverance and adaptability. </span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-MY">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">For the EGSO, we hire engineers to
provide technical, engineering and application support for ExxonMobil’s
refineries around the world. Our new employees start as engineers performing a
wide range of work, ranging from equipment design to optimisation and controls
to development of applications. We develop their core technical competencies
and proficiencies (breadth and depth) with initial job assignments before broadening
into other technical areas. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Some will move on to more senior
positions at ExxonMobil’s refineries and chemical plants in Singapore,
Thailand, the U.S. or Europe with varied opportunities in engineering, plant manufacturing
and even management positions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY"><o:p> </o:p></span><span lang="EN-MY"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
</span><h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Q: From technical specialists to project managers and
senior executives, what are the different career paths available to an
engineer? Is there a point where they need to make a hard decision to choose
between technical and management career paths?<o:p></o:p></span></h4>
<span lang="EN-MY">
<br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY"><span lang="EN-MY">At ExxonMobil, we have a long-term oriented approach
to career development, in which we emphasise continuous learning and
professional development. We believe this long-term career-oriented approach
provides us with a competitive edge by meeting both business and employee
needs. </span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-MY">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Generally, engineers in ExxonMobil
are developed for a technical or management career path, depending on their
interest and capability. Some choose to become senior technical professionals
by developing depth and breadth of skills within a given area. They are
recognised for their achievements </span><span lang="EN-MY">and are also designated subject matter experts (SMEs)
in their fields providing an invaluable resource for their customers and peers
around the world. Others follow the supervisory or management career </span><span lang="EN-MY">path where challenging assignments and projects, with
both a local and global scope help build their business judgment, leadership
and personal effectiveness skills. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">It’s not a one-way street, however –
some people switch back and forth between these options as they develop their careers.
Personally, my career path has moved between technical leadership and
management leadership roles multiple times, all within ExxonMobil. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">In short, many different career
paths are possible, depending on opportunities that arise versus one’s interest
and capabilities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY"><o:p> </o:p></span><span lang="EN-MY"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
</span><h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Q: It is an accepted truth that upstream tends to generate
more revenue than the downstream. From a corporate point of view, will Oil
& Gas be focusing on just the upstream?<o:p></o:p></span></h4>
<span lang="EN-MY">
<br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY"><span lang="EN-MY">Investment decisions in the energy industry are characterised
by time horizons measured in decades. At ExxonMobil, we test projects over a
wide range of scenarios to ensure that all relevant risks – including
financial, commercial, environmental, technical, and others – are properly
identified, thoroughly evaluated, and effectively managed. </span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-MY">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Our disciplined approach to
investing focuses on the efficient use of capital. By combining rigorous
standards for project assessment with proven project development expertise, we
gain advantage in our investments over the long term. This discipline is
applied across our entire portfolio and includes identification of key growth
opportunities and divestment of assets that no longer meet our long-term objectives.
In addition, we derive significant value from our globally integrated business
model which spans upstream, downstream and chemical, which enables us to
maximise the value of every molecule that we produce, leverage the advantages
of our organisational structure, and optimise collocated manufacturing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span lang="EN-MY"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
</span><h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Q: When it comes to loyalty versus faster career growth
(i.e. by having shorter career stints in multiple companies), what’s the point
of view on this for MNCs like ExxonMobil?<o:p></o:p></span></h4>
<span lang="EN-MY">
<br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY"><span lang="EN-MY">At ExxonMobil, we believe in hiring people for long term
careers. We don’t think it’s desirable to achieve short term gains by switching
companies at the expense of long term career progressions. Senior leadership
positions in ExxonMobil, both technical and management, are typically filled by
people with a deep understanding of our operations, which is obtained through
long term careers with the company. </span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-MY">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Switching companies limits the
ability to progress to the positions from which the senior leadership is
formed. Because ExxonMobil is an integrated oil and gas group of companies with
global operations in the upstream, downstream and chemical businesses,
employees are able to pursue a wide range of job opportunities across the
businesses and in various locations. They are also able to take advantage of
numerous resources and support, such as workplace flexibility programmes, to
help them achieve work life balance. Examples include modified work weeks and
part-time regular employment to accomodate pressing, family-related needs for a
temporary period of time. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">Ir. Professor Mohd Ali Hashim is an unassuming man
and so soft-spoken that I wonder if his students ever take advantage of him.
But make no mistakes. Five minutes with the Professor of Chemical Engineering
at University of Malaya and one realises that there is a steely presence behind
his patiently quiet demeanour. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">He shows Ir. Professor Dr Dominic

a more casual style. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">We wanted to know about how chemical
engineering started in this country approximately 40 years ago. Being the most
senior chemical engineering professor in this country, Ir. Professor Ali told
us about the story. The university’s Department of Chemical Engineering was
established in 1975 (first in Malaysia, followed by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
in 1983 and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 1984) with the help of Professor
John Kirkaldy, a Scotsman. Before that, an undergraduate course on chemical technology
was offered in the Chemistry Department at the Faculty of Science. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">At that time, only a selected few
were among the intake, less than 10 students a year. “Today, there are about 60
students annually,” said Ir. Professor Ali. “When we first started, my students
were picked for jobs by corporations, even before they graduated.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">However, he adds: “It’s not easy to
start a chemical engineering department in general, as it involves very expensive
lab equipment.” Later, he walks us to the lab to show us the impressive
equipment set-up.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">Despite this, more and more
universities have started offering Chemical Engineering studies as the demand
for chemical engineers continues to grow. Ir. Professor Dr Foo stated that
there are more than 10 Chemical Engineering departments set up in the past 10
years, bringing more than 20 departments that offer Chemical Engineering
courses in Malaysia, with approximately 1,600 graduates each year. However, Ir.
Professor Ali agrees with Ir. Professor Dr Foo that while graduates are
excellent in the “hard” skills part, many are still lacking in soft skills or
the ability to communicate and make presentations. One of his ways to overcome
this is to get his students to do reports as presentations which he feels, will
prepare them better for the job in the real world. </span></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">Not to be mistaken for chemistry, chemical
engineering is primarily concerned with process engineering though today, the
field has expanded to be more than just that. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">According to Wikipedia, a chemical
engineer is one who works principally in the chemical industry to convert basic
raw materials into a variety of products, deals with the design and operation
of plants and equipment to do such work. A chemical engineer applies and uses
the principles of chemical engineering in any of its various applications and
these include:</span></span></div>
<ol>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">Design, manufacture and operation of plants and machinery in industrial chemical and related processes (chemical process engineers) </span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">Development of new or adapted substances for products ranging from foods and beverages to cosmetics to cleaners to pharmaceutical ingredients, among many other products (chemical product engineers) and </span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">Development of new technologies such as fuel cells, hydrogen power and nanotechnology, as well as working in fields wholly or partially derived from Chemical Engineering such as materials science, polymer engineering, biochemical and biomolecular engineering.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
</li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">However it seems that not many in this country
actually know what Chemical Engineers are doing for their professional works.
Ir. Professor Dr Foo mentioned an interesting finding on a survey that he
conducted a few years back with his first year students. For three consecutive
years, more than 40% of his student population had enrolled for Chemical Engineering
because “I like chemistry”! </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">There has been a tremendous change
of approaches to chemical engineering over the last many years. For a very long
time, unit operations and the systemization of transport phenomena have been
the core of Chemical Engineering education. The 1960s saw the emergence of process
systems engineering. In barely a century, chemical engineers have erected the
technological infrastructure of much of modern society. Without their
contributions, industries as diverse as petroleum processing and pharmaceutical
manufacturing would not exist as we know them today. Currently, a confluence of
intellectual advances, technological challenges, and economic driving forces is
shaping a new model of what chemical engineering is. A major force behind this
evolution is the upsurge of new products and materials that are entering the
market. Whether from the biotechnology industry, the electronics industry, or
the high-performance materials industry, these products are critically
dependent on structure and design at the molecular level for their usefulness. Another
force shaping the future of chemical engineering is society’s increasing
awareness of health risks and environmental impacts from the manufacture,
transportation, use, and ultimate disposal of chemicals. These will be
important sources of new challenges to chemical engineers. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">When trained in the four-year
chemical engineering programme, a graduate can work in waste, food, biochemical
industries, apart from the conventional chemical industrial sectors, such as
oil and gas, petrochemicals, palm oil-based oleochemicals, etc. The chemical
engineering programme trains them basically, for numerous industries, says Ir.
Professor Ali. </span></span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">JOB PROSPECTS<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">The chemical industry in the country and Asia Pacific
region is developing at an extremely fast rate, creating a huge, insatiable
demand for chemical engineers. The oil and gas sector, for instance, he says,
is expanding and as new oil fields are discovered, the job market is expanding at
an equal rate. Ir. Professor Dr Foo added, Malaysia has emerged to be the
design hub for the oil and gas industry in Asia Pacific. There are a lot of new
companies (oil and gas, safety and environmental consultants) that started their
business in Kuala Lumpur, to support their business in the region, and even
worldwide (such as the case for ExxonMobil, see the following page). Ir.
Professor Dr Foo noted that there are many new companies sprouting up that are
looking for chemical engineers. Those with 4-5 years </span><span lang="EN-MY">experience are being snapped up by companies to
support their projects in the Middle-East, he says. This explains why more
universities are offering chemical engineering programmes, as there are indeed
vacant to be filled for this profession. He also believes that the growing
trend will continue at least for another 5-10 years. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">“Then there is the palm oil-based
oleochemical industry which is growing with new products and by-products being created
all the time.” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">Ir. Professor Dr Foo chips in: “And
do you know the semi-conductor industry also has a need for chemical engineers?” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">Seeing the look of surprise on my
face, he happily explains: “Yes, think of solvents, waste materials etc. Some
20% to 30% of my students are working in the semiconductor industry. Chemical
engineers have the advantage over chemists when employed as quality controllers
as they are trained in the operation process. They also help to deal with the
waste treatment in the semi-conductor industry.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">Ir. Professor Dr Ali adds: “There is also
environmental engineering, previously (the domain of) civil engineers. But today,
people realise that chemical engineers have more to offer, particular dealing
with industrial effluent. After all, ensuring the treatment process to perform
as it should be, is the job of a chemical engineer.” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">In the last 20-40 years, greater
awareness of environmental issues and safety has created the need for chemical
engineers to ensure safety in the production process and to promote sustainable
development. Ir. Professor Ali says HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) is getting
more emphasis in the curriculum of any Chemical Engineering programme offered.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT <o:p></o:p></span></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">According to IChemE (Institution of Chemical
Engineers UK), sustainability is the foremost key issue regarding the chemical
engineering profession. The three principal areas of focus are sustainable
energy, sustainable technology and the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) concept.
The world’s resources are also becoming depleted. We observe that chemical
engineers are the key driver in this aspect. We see significant of works being
dedicated towards the reduction of raw materials consumption, energy recovery
and other aspect of waste minimisation initiative. Ir. Professor Dr Foo says:
“A good example can be found in national oil and gas giant Petronas which is
now taking serious measure for water minimisation in various processing sites
in the country. What’s most encouraging is that they are using </span><span lang="EN-MY">pinch technology which we developed locally!” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">He added: “Within IEM, we are trying
to foster this concept via education. In our recently completed Chemical Engineering
Design Competition, we set a scope for zero emission for the students to come
out with various schemes for implementing waste reduction for their design project.
Besides, we also conduct workshops and seminars regularly to promote resource
conservation concept.” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">Presently, over 80% of the world’s
energy comes from fossil fuels which emit high levels of GHG (greenhouse gas). Along
with depleting reserves, atmospheric pollution from GHGs is a major issue.
However, reduction of fossil fuel consumption may not be a sensible solution
for a developing country like Malaysia. Instead, chemical engineers should look
into the development and application of renewable energy sources. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">“In Malaysia, we are blessed with
plenty of palm-based biomass, such as empty fruit bunches. You can see significant
research are carried out by many academics in the country in order to maximise
the potential of this great energy sources.” said Ir. Professor Dr Foo.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">PROFESSIONAL BODIES<o:p></o:p></span></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">I then asked about the issue of professional
development, as I was told that chemical engineers were not keen to register
with the Board of Engineers Malaysia or sign for membership with professional
bodies such as IEM and IChemE. Ir. Professor Ali, the first chairman of IChemE Malaysia
Branch, says it’s useful for new graduates to join bodies such as IChemE and
IEM, especially those who want to work overseas. “This is important for all
engineers, not just chemical engineers, as a signature acquires greater value
with board membership.” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-MY">Ir. Professor Dr Foo added that,
with the signing of the MOU (memorandum of agreement) between IEM and IChemE,
“we should soon see some joint efforts in promoting professional development
among chemical engineering community in the country”. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Poster Presentation held on 23<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>rd</sup> February 2013 was the most anticipated
event of the IEM Chemical Engineering Design Competition 2012. The competition,
which was organised for the first time by the Chemical Engineering Technical
Division (CETD), had attracted twenty four teams from the higher learning
institutions nationwide. After submitting three progressive reports, only eight
teams were shortlisted for the poster presentation in Wisma IEM, which
contributed the final 10% for the competition’s assessment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

Dr. Dominic Foo had also presented letter of appreciation to all the judges
that had been involved in the entire competition during the event. Participants
who did not bag any prizes from the competition were also given certificate of
participation issued by IEM. Overall, the competition had been a great success with
many positive feedbacks from the participants and panel of judges. The same
competition will be organised in year 2013/2014 and it is hope that more
chemical engineering students will benefit from this design competition. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

The Palm Oil industry in Malaysia had attracted much negative publicity mostly from European NGOs on the issue of sustainability. As part of the measure to mitigate this issue, the Malaysian Government is encouraging the Palm Oil industry to reduce its carbon footprint.<br />
Therefore all Mills in Malaysia are encouraged to convert the palm oil mill effluent into biogas by 2020. Conventional biogas technology had been around for more than 20 years but with the world’s energy prices going higher and with the Malaysian Government’s Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) program, there is a need to develop higher efficiency Biogas system.<br />
Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactors is a fairly new development around the world and recently these anaerobic membrane bioreactors (An-MBR) had been used for the first time in the world for treating palm oil wastewater. As a result, more difficult processes such as thermophilic digestion with An-MBR system can become a reality and it had resulted in superior biogas yield. Through the latest technology, the green energy from the Mill can be harvested and potentially converted into other form of fuel.</blockquote>

This is a shout out for the <a data-mce-href="http://iem.org.my/" href="http://iem.org.my/" title="IEM">IEM</a>. My technical division will be hosting a trip to the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) at Bandar Baru Bangi, Kajang, on the 28th August, 2012. You will be anointed with 2.5 CPD / PDP hours.</div>
<blockquote style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
The oil palm industry forms the economic backbone of Malaysia and continues to face new challenges in the face of globalization. Rapid responses are needed to meet the increasing challenges of the industry as they unfold. MPOB as the custodian of the oil palm industry is entrusted with meeting these challenges through excellence in R&D and services. MPOB has more than three decades of concerted effort in research and development along the entire value chain. Several technologies have made the transition from the laboratory to the market place. Ecologically and economically sustainable development has become the guiding philosophy of the oil palm industry and MPOB is playing a facilitating role in this endeavor. MPOB’s commitment has been recognized and rewarded through numerous awards, the latest of which is the 2010 Frost & Sullivan Award for Excellence in Research and Innovation. MPOB’s contributions are diverse, yet they serve a single goal, as expressed by its mission statement: “To enhance the well-being of the Malaysian oil palm industry through research, development and excellent services.”<br />
Participants of this visit will also be briefed on MPOB’s latest development in addition to the pilot plant tours at MPOB’s premises.<br />

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.<br />
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.</blockquote>

It is worth 3.5 CPD points, and held at Wisma IEM.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
This half-day 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:<br />
<ul><li>Are familiar with the concept of ‘risk’</li>
<li>Are familiar with the theory behind HAZOP</li>
<li>Are familiar with the actual HAZOP workshop process</li>
<li>Have expectations as to what the HAZOP will (and won’t provide)</li>
<li>Understand what deliverables can be expected from a HAZOP</li>
<li>Have the opportunity to participate in HAZOP exercise in a safe environment</li>
<li>Opportunity to share HAZOP experiences</li>
</ul>At the end of the session, the participants should:<br />
<ul><li>Understand the responsibilities of all parties in the HAZOP</li>
<li>Have experience in a HAZOP session.</li>
<li>Understand the outcomes from a HAZOP session</li>
</ul>Wata has 16 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, in both design and operations.<br />
