5th day at PTM...

(9th April 2010)
nothing much of tasks given today..
went down to GTFS department in the morning, help filling database of projects proposed to PTM... *really getting familiarized with Microsoft Excel now:)*.. while filling in the database, i took a look at 2 or 3 projects,.. :>

one of them is about supply of renewable energy steam to a company.. it is basically to reduce growth rate of Green House Gases(GHG) through displacement of fossil fuel for power & steam generation by utilising palm oil residues& other biomasses from industrial, and also landscaping activities via gasification system..:>

The project is to build a biomass power plant, fueled with mainly empty fruit brunches(EFB) wood waste.., the main technology in the steam generation system originates from the Babcock & Wilcox biomass furnace conceptual design; advance combustion & emission control.. :>

currently, steam is produced by natural gas,.. however, the supply of natural gas is limited ,hence, alternative energy source is required.:>

the system use pyrolysis technique to convert energy content of the EFB into steam for power generation..:>

also read about some other projects, which use quite the same concept and technology..:>

just got a surprise call from an unknown number.. apparently, i know who was on the phone.. really helped clear things off my head a bit, and freshens me up:> :>..

4th day at ptm..

(8th April 2010)
reached ptm at 8.25, and kak ros assigned me to do GTFS database key in.. it was quite a LOAD of database to key in... worked it out for straight 2 hours,.. starting to feel stress a bit,:>
minutes later, an email came in from my doc, really took my mind off the workload, feels good again and ready to continue on other tasks:>

Kak Ros asked me to do a Gantt Chart dat En Hishamuddin requires.. the Gantt chart is basically project GTFS timeline.. she gave me a template of it in excel, and explained some stuff.. then, i went down to GTFS operation room to do the Gantt Chart with help from hafiz(semuit).. took about half an hour to get a perfect Gantt Chart to please En Hishamuddin.. then En hishamuddin asked me to submit the Gantt Chart to kak ros..:>

after lunch, went down to GTFS dep., help En Hanif do project screening... while filling in required data of the companies, I read some of the project explanation.. one of them is palm oil waste energy resources..:>
the project basically undertake the integrated management of solid&liquid waste in palm oil mill. The project can reduce CO2 emission from the capture & destruction of methane from POME(dun ask me wat tis is) & displacement of grid energy from energy generated by the technology..
read memorandum of companies, shareholders, and paid-up capital..:>
