An Interview withJohn Thurtell,PhDJohn Thurtell, Engineering Global Support Office(EGSO) Manager of ExxonMobil Business Support Centre Malaysia Sdn Bhd, saiddemand growth in the chemical industry is anticipated to strengthen over time,linked to the growth of the broader economy.

Most chemical demand growth is inAsia, driven by manufacturing of consumer products for both worldwide exportand to serve the growing Asian middle class. These consumers are expected topurchase more packaged goods, appliances, cars, tyres and clothing, many ofwhich are manufactured from chemical products, he said. Asia Pacific hasaccounted for more than two-thirds of global demand growth since 2000, and thistrend is expected to continue, said the Canadian who has just arrived in Malaysiaapproximately half a year back. In the next decade, global chemicaldemand is expected to grow by 50%, driven by improving prosperity in developingcountries. Large scale investments are ongoing in the region, particularly inSingapore and China where world-class facilities are being built in therefining and chemical businesses. Thurtell feels this augurs well for the chemicalengineering profession as the industry boom will require more engineers withstrong professional capabilities in every aspect of the business. Will the development of the oil gas sectors in Malaysia Asia Pacific region affect the chemicalengineering profession? In Malaysia, ExxonMobil has been operating for over acentury. In fact this year marks the companys 120 years in Malaysia, which isa significant milestone. Thurtell said: We are a major oil producer andnatural gas supplier in Peninsular Malaysia. We produce about a fifth of thenations crude oil and condensate and supply about half of its natural gasneeds which is mainly used for power generation. Beyond upstream operations, ourBusiness Support Centre, which is the second largest within ExxonMobil, alsohosts ExxonMobils IT infrastructure and provides IT support across the globe24/7. As an engineering-based company,ExxonMobil hires a lot of engineers to meet the operating needs of itsbusiness. We also employ engineers in our EGSO in Kuala Lumpur. By virtue ofthe EGSO functionally reporting to ExxonMobil Research and Engineering (EMRE),our engineers are given the opportunity to provide technical, engineering andapplication support for ExxonMobils manufacturing plants around the world, heexplained, adding that about 95% of its total workforce is Malaysian whichreflects the tremendous local talent we have in our organisation.
PROFESSIONAL BODIES Sadly, many chemical engineers are not registeredwith the Board of Engineers Malaysia. We asked Thurtell what ExxonMobil isdoing to help develop young graduate engineers into professional engineers. Hesaid: We recognise that engineers play many different roles, depending ontheir specific job scope. ExxonMobil values the role of certification to ensurecompliance with regulatory and process requirements. At ExxonMobil, membershipin professional boards is not a prerequisite to employment or an on-the-jobrequirement as much of our focus is on safe and reliable project management andimplementation, as well as operations of our existing facilities. Nevertheless,we are fully supportive of employees who wish to pursue qualifications toimprove or maintain their skills and have over the years provided educationassistance and reimbursement of the full cost of studies upon successfulcompletion. We also provide internal training programme to strengthen thetechnical skills of our engineers.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTChemical engineers can help to promote sustainable developmentin the country. Thurtell said ExxonMobils commitment to operating in anenvironmentally responsible manner is anchored in its Environment Policy, whichfosters appropriate operating practices and training, and requires itsfacilities to be designed, operated and managed with the goal of preventingenvironmental incidents. He added: Our Protect Tomorrow.Today. Initiative guides our management processes to continuously improve environmentalperformance. Our business operations continue to drive enhancements inenvironmental performance by incorporating Environmental Business Planning intothe annual business planning cycle. In Malaysia, one example whereenvironmental considerations are incorporated into the design basis of our facilitiesis the use of a hybrid power-generation system on our unmanned satelliteplatforms. Solar panels produce about half the electricity required, andthermoelectric generators provide the other half. This combination ensures highreliability and low operating costs. Within the global ExxonMobil group, wealso focus on various renewable energy initiatives, apart from doing energyoptimisation such as co-generation, etc. Thurtell shared with us more aboutExxonMobils new Engineering Global Support Office in Malaysia and the industryas a whole.

An Interview with Ir. Professor Mohd Ali Hashim by Tan Bee Hong


Ir. Professor Mohd Ali Hashim is an unassuming manand 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 Engineeringat University of Malaya and one realises that there is a steely presence behindhis patiently quiet demeanour. He shows Ir. Professor Dr DominicFoo (Chemical Engineering Technical Division chairman of IEM) and I some factsand figures to back up his replies to our queries during an hour-long interviewin his office.He is smartly dressed with a tie tomatch, which he admits, at the end of the interview that he seldom wears, preferringa more casual style. We wanted to know about how chemicalengineering started in this country approximately 40 years ago. Being the mostsenior chemical engineering professor in this country, Ir. Professor Ali toldus about the story. The universitys Department of Chemical Engineering wasestablished in 1975 (first in Malaysia, followed by Universiti Teknologi Malaysiain 1983 and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 1984) with the help of ProfessorJohn Kirkaldy, a Scotsman. Before that, an undergraduate course on chemical technologywas offered in the Chemistry Department at the Faculty of Science. At that time, only a selected fewwere among the intake, less than 10 students a year. Today, there are about 60students annually, said Ir. Professor Ali. When we first started, my studentswere picked for jobs by corporations, even before they graduated.However, he adds: Its not easy tostart a chemical engineering department in general, as it involves very expensivelab equipment. Later, he walks us to the lab to show us the impressiveequipment set-up.Despite this, more and moreuniversities have started offering Chemical Engineering studies as the demandfor chemical engineers continues to grow. Ir. Professor Dr Foo stated thatthere are more than 10 Chemical Engineering departments set up in the past 10years, bringing more than 20 departments that offer Chemical Engineeringcourses in Malaysia, with approximately 1,600 graduates each year. However, Ir.Professor Ali agrees with Ir. Professor Dr Foo that while graduates areexcellent in the hard skills part, many are still lacking in soft skills orthe ability to communicate and make presentations. One of his ways to overcomethis is to get his students to do reports as presentations which he feels, willprepare them better for the job in the real world.

Posted5:47 PMNo comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to PinterestTags:CETD,innovation,workshop Wednesday, August 7, 2013 Engineers are not KAYU!IEM Forum on "Engineers are not Kayu"Aforum entitled Engineers are not kayu was held at Taylors UniversityLakeside Campus on 11 May 2013, specially dedicated for the September issue ofIEM Bulletin. The forum was jointlyorganized by ChemicalEngineering Technical Division (CETD), Young Engineers Section (YES) of IEM, aswell as Taylors University, and added by some practiting engineers andengineering students. Seven panelspeakers were invited too share about their professional work duties along withtheir side interests and talents.




CETD chairmanIr. Prof. Dr. DominicFoo Chwan Yee welcomed the participants by giving a simple overview of the forum.


The forum started at 11.15 am, where twoacademic members of CETD, Engr. Dr. Chong Chien Hwa (Taylors University) and Engr.Assoc. Prof. Dr. Denny Ng Kok Sum (University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus) sharedabout their professional works being lecturers and researchers. Apart from performing their academic duties,both Engr. Assoc. Prof. Dr Denny Ng and have another identity that are lessknown by their students and academic colleagues. Engr. Dr. Chong Chien Hwa is a dedicated cookduring his free time and has some very nice recipes with him in cooking fishesand seafood



Engr.Assoc. Prof. Dr. Denny Ng, on the other hand, is a traveler as well as abadminton player. He shared quite somephotos for his badminton competitions, as well as his travelling tovarious Asian and European cities. Healso share some tips on how to travel with low budget.





Next, Engr. Rafil Elyas who is a consultant(East 101 Sdn Bhd) shared about his professional work in the oil and gasbusiness. In his spare time, he enjoyedwriting fiction and short stories, playing and composing music, as well asmusic recording.



Apparently, music is also a common interest that he shares withIr. Prof. Dr. Dominic Foo, who is a chemical engineering professor (his regular work duties include being a researcher, author, editor, teacher and social worker his service with IEM).


They next performed together with their guitars on a new song composed by Engr. Rafil specially for the forum I Want to be an Engineer. The forum participants were also given a copy of the song lyrics (see the song lyrics at the end of this post) so that they can sing along together.


Engr. LimMei Ling is the next panel of the forum, who shared about her professional workbeing a mechanical engineer at Technip, a project management, engineering andconstruction company. To the surprise of all forum participants, this younglady is actually a tough sport woman who enjoys a lot of outdoor activities,such as mountain hiking, marathon and mountain cycling! She hikes many mountains in Malaysia (e.g. GunungBatu Putih, Gunung Irau, Gunung Nuang, etc.), apart from completing 42 km marathonfor 3 times, and also cycled up to Bukit Fraser, Cameron Highland, Bukit Tinggi,among others.







Thenext panel of the forum Engr. Mohd Khairul Kamaruddin is also another sportman. Apart from working as a piping engineer at Technip, Engr. MohdKhairul spent his spare time with paraglidingand rock climbing. He worked as a rockclimbing instructor before, and now is a memberwith the Malaysian national paraglidingteam. His past achievements includea silver and two bronze medals in Southeast Asia (SEA) Games 2011 that was heldat Indonesia. He will soonrepresent Malaysia again in the coming 2013 SEA Games in Myanmar. He also shared how he can appreciate theknowledge in fluid mechanics through paragliding activities.





Ir.Razmawata Mohd Razalli, who is the last panel of the forum, is also an oil andgas consultant for his profession (Synergy Oil Gas Engineering). However, to this 2012/13 Session Chairman ofthe Oil and Gas Technical Division (OGTD) who owns a professional license ofscuba diving, not all his offshore trips is meant for his oil and gas business,but rather to fulfill his desire to observe the many micro-organism and sealife in the deep sea. Ir. Razmawatashowed many pictures that he took for the unique creatures under the deep bluesea, which amazed the forum participants very much.




Theforum ended at 1 pm, with the 2nd performance of the song "I Want to be an Engineer", followed by group photo and lunch sessions. Many participants felt that life of anengineer can be very interesting provided that we know how to enjoy ourlife. The forum left some good memoriesespecially to those undergraduate students in engineering who attended theforum.
