19th day

29 April 2010:>

Joined En Hishamudin meet with representatives from MPC(Malaysian Productivity Corporation).. En Hisham gave a brief explanation about day-lighting systems which relates to Energy Efficiency, and how it would save cost of electricity..:>
After a few minutes of questions and answer between En Hisham and them, En Hisham began his presentation bout Green Technology,.. among the things presented were the energy demand in Malaysia, GHG emissions, Efficiency & Conservation Programmes, code of practice(Guidelines for Malaysian Industries), Benchmarking(Audit and rating),
the MPC representatives also asked the cost of installation a solar panel for residential usage.. En Hisham said.. for 1kW solar(Photovoltaic) panel costs around RM23,000... and normally for a bungalow,it requires abour 4kW, around RM100k.. -sweat-
pretty much expensive huh.. and it took about 15years for the reburst of the investment.. En Hisham also briefly explained the National Green Technology Policy..:>



at 11am, the pre-GTC meeting began, .. lead TE (En Ismail) and some TE's, including GTFS and EISD staffs were involved,.. they discussed about the projects that they are convinced will succeed, to present them to the banks.. :>

at 1pm, we all had lunch in the cafeteria downstairs,.. menu: nasi ayam.. i sat together with En Haniff, Din, En Ismail, En Hishamudin and my intern colleague..
En Ismail shared his experiences when he went to Italy, Vietnam, and other places, describing how thrilled he is to see the engineer products there,.. we also discussed on some present cases and news.. :>

After lunch, really had nothing to do,.. kak ros invited me downstairs to have some kuih2 which are prepared for those staffs in the meeting.. still, we took some for ourselves :p..
also finished analyzing average and total counts of ratings on feedback forms..

18th day

28 April 2010,

Joined En Hishamudin to a seminar at UTM.. me, hafiz n him went by his car,.. we left MGTC at 8am... and reached there around 9am.. that includes following the smart tunnel,.. and En Hisham stoped his car by the sideroad to check his water level, and adjust the rpm meter.. reached the UTM,.. surprised by a building called 'rumah wangi'.. i tot it was a dumping area.. but my hummhumm told me its a room for spa.. yea rite huh :p.. :>
The seminar was actually kind of like a discussion.. with several speakers from different organizations, including UNIDO(United Nation Industries Development Organization), SME Corporation, and GEF.. and the main topic is "Improving Industrial Energy Efficiency in the Manufacturing Sector".. :>

and also, the new ISO 50001-Energy Management Standard.. which requires an organization to establish, implement, maintain and improve an energy management system, enabling systematic achievement of continual improvement in energy performance, energy efficiency, and energy conservation.:>
Here are some of the pictures i'm gonna share:

-Seminar introduction by someone-:>



-Ms Aimee McKane giving explanation about energy efficiency in industries-:>




-Sleepy Seminar environment(Dewan Jemaah)-:>



-En. Ismail explaining Green Technology Financing Scheme(GTFS)-:>




En Hishamudin invited us back at MGTC at around 240pm, right after En Ismail's presentation 'cuz we have a meeting scheduled at 330pm at MGTC... once we left UTM, En Hishamudin juz realized there is going to be a discussion among panels at the seminar, which I believe he was supposed to be involved... En Hishamudin texted En Ismail to represent him.. we reach MGTC around 345pm, and straight away went to one of the meeting room, waiting for other staffs.. the meeting discussed about preparation for pre-GTC meeting, MHGS project problems, screening report.. the meeting ended around 5.25pm.:>

:>my hummhumm is working late today... pity her :(

17th day

27 April 2010

Nothing much technical learnt today,.. juz assist kak ros with some photocopy and filing, rating from evaluation form, and assist my colleague photocopy and binding.:>
En Hishamudin asked me to come here at 745am in da morning tmr, invited me to join a seminar at UTM about energy management.. sounds cool, so i accepted d invitation :>

Wishing my hummhumm all d best since today is d first day she's fasting.. hang in there hummhumm.. kejap lagi buke lah tu.. :>

16th day

26 April 2010,

a great morning.. hopefully to a great new week.. reached work early as usual..
apparently, nth great things to do here today.. juz sit and read about photovoltaic and some projects.:>
One of the project i read today is about Implementing a new energy saving Heat Infrared(HIR) technology system in rubber glove manufacturing process for a new manufacturing plant..:>
HIR tech will be implemented on several rubber manufacturing lines with annual production capacity of 108.5 million rubber gloves per year with energy consumption of 308 MWh/year from only electricity source. The conventional technology currently in place for rubber glove manufacturing consumes 56% more energy for the same production. This new technology also increases productivity by 11%.:>

P/s: One great thing today is dat i can on messenger n chat wif mrs superman <3.

15th day

23 April 2010

Early in the morning, En hishamudin asked me to do a statistics of all companies, whether they have CDM(Clean Development Mechanism) or not.. he said En Zairin have a meeting this evening, and if possible, i need to finish and email it to him before solat jumaat. He asked me to ask En Haniff in how to determine whether the company has CDM or not.:>

I went down to GTFS operation room to find En Haniff, apparently, he's not here yet, so i decided to wait for him.. he showed up at 9.10am... and i told him about my new assignments, and his facial expression shows that it is a complicated and tiring works, as we had to analyze each companies' file to find the letter of approval about CDM.. En haniff was supposed to have a meeting with a client at 9 am, so he invited me to join the meeting.. the client is from Tokai Engineering (M) Sdn Bhd, and she needs En Haniff's help on completing the GTFS registration form.. she also asked for clarifications on the project outcome, calculations and all. En Haniff asked my help to do a conversion from diesels, to the amount of CO2 emmision.. luckily i brought my small notebook that i wrote down formulas in it.. the meeting took about an hour, and the client wish me luck for my training period..
Then, En Haniff and i continue on the assignment from En Hishamudin, took about 2 hours to complete it..:>

14th day

22 April 2010

Went to Bahau and Serting to visit a biomass power plant.. took lots of pictures, and some videos.. it was a fun, yet tiring and smelly experience.:>

The day started off as usual, I came in at 8.30 am, went to my workspace and do my usual routine;online, checking mails, fb etc.. then Haniff came and handed me the safety helmet.. quite rusty compared to my CIDB's one ... i decided to use the MGTC's helmet given.. journey starts at around 10.10am, and basically took about 2 hours to reach Bahau..once we reach there, we decided to have our lunch first, .. after that, we decided to visit the power plant at Serting, and visit the one in Bahau on our way back.. so we travel to Serting, and reached "Loji Biogas & Stesen Janakuasa Felda PALM Industries Sdn. Bhd. Kilang Sawit Serting Hilir" at around 1.30pm. :>

The powerplant at Serting is basically fed by water, which has already been extract from the EFB. The water is then stored, and processed to produce gas/steam, however, the steam produced also contains Methane, which pollutes the environment, hence the gas is directed to a system that processed the methane and use it to generate electricity... the tour took about 1hour..:>

After that, we went to the EFB biomass powerplant in Bahau.. they call it Project "Gajah Putih".. dunno why... the plant is no longer operating, as there are problems with the condenser, and boiler plates.. basically this plant is supposed to feed EFB into a shredder, which will make the EFB into smaller and more manageable size. then, it will be sent to Pressing machine, which will squeeze the EFB to extract oil and reduce the moisture content.the product is then sent to Envirocycler machine to burn the processed EFB and produce heat for HRSG. HRSG is a heat exchanger that recovers heat from a hot gas stream. It produces steam that can be used to drive a steam turbine. After undergo the HRSG, the steam will be piped to the Steam Turbine which extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and converts it to useful mechanical works. It will then connected to 10 MW TNB grid.:>
