IM BACK!!!!

YEESSS!!!!! I recover back my blog. First and foremost, let me start by updating all these years i am away.

I'm finally graduated from Infrastructure University Kuala Lumpur (IUKL) with an degree in Civil Engineering about 2 years ago and by luck manage to have a job just in 1 months of tanam anggur/ngabis ke beras ba rumah (unemployed). I have been accepted for the position of Site Engineer in Perritech Sdn Bhd. Perritech is a subsidiary of PANSAR SDN BHD. Before this, I did received and offer from Jurutera Perunding Akal in Miri but i turn them down.

In Perritech, there are 2 major department, building solution department and roofing department. Other department as usual admin, QS and contract, and design. From day 1, i am involved in the building solution department. The meaning of that is i am responsible in the works of waterproofing coatings, flooring works, structural and aesthetic building works and so on. 

I spend around 5 months at RH plaza Sibu project for waterproofing works, 7 Months at Sarawak state stadium, 3 months repairing Park City Mall Bintulu, and another 3 months at Elkem. With small project at Belawai, Sarikei and Tanjung Manis.

After more than 2 fruitful years  in Perritech, I have decided that this is the time for me move on, to embark on a new challenge. And now, I'm involved in the agriculture sector and coming from construction side, it is a big step and i don't know whether it was the right move or not. Anyawy, this is my first month in service and there is nothing much going on.

I am an employer of Beras Corporation Sdn. Bhd. whihc is a company of PadiBeras Nasional Berhad (BERNAS). We involved with rice procurement, export and import of rice, distributing, marketing and so on. Anything regarding sweet delicious rice that me and you eat everyday is our responsibility.

I am stationed in  Sri Aman Sarawak to monitor the NKEA EPP 11. It is our Government vision to make Batang Lupar (Stumbin, Tanjung Bijat ect) as the rice bowl of Sarawak, similar to Kedah in peninsular Malaysia.

So yeah, above is the map of the area. This will be my future site. At the moment, we are still waiting for the new office to be ready and when it does, off i go. At the moment, I am located here at our main office, Kuching.

                                    

Batu Kitang Treatment Plant Visit

we all spend a day in the Batu Kitang Treatment Plant to learn more about the process of purifying our daily water. accompany us is Mr. Dennis, Miss Lisa, Miss Sharon n Mr. Stanley. this is my 2nd trip so im quite used to the place.

1st, we all been allocated to a big room which is the presentation room if im not mistaken. A brief introduction bout the all the plants and their characteristic. a job well done to the speaker which is also the technician of the plant. well spoken and loud as well. like music to our ears

the guy behind the curtain

Fatah and Joel concentrating to the presentation plus all other students

So there are 4 plant in one big treatment plant. each plant can cater about (i forgot guys) 16 - 20 MLD. MLD stands for millions liter per Day. so the source if from sungai sarawak kiri. and theres also 4 intake pipes, all located throughout the embankment of the river. The presenter also explain briefly about the process which i will explain to all of u later on :)

After the presentation, with the free mineral water for our "bekal" off we go on our little journey. 1st we headed to the laboratory where all the magic of chemical and biological process happens. i cant explain any further coz me myself didn't noe a clue wat they do here. coz im not tat interested with chemistry.ahahha. bummer.

The laboratory. Student observe while im camwhoring.

So after our little visit to the small yet poisoners room, where headed to the 1st part of the process, which is coagualation process. Coagulation is basically the time tat we add chemicals to make all the "dirty things" bigger. so the common chemicals being used here in Malaysia esp Kuching is ALUM and soda ash.

so after that is the flocculation process. this is where the big this earlier is attach to another big things bcomes bigger things.aahhaa. how 2 explain neh?ahaha. then the modified water is off to sedimentation tank.

Everywhere i turn theres always him.

next is sedimentation. so in sedimentation, the bigger particle is gradually sink to the bottom of the tank by gravity. the tank is probably 3 - 5 meter deep and a hell longer than my house. haha. the ingredient here is weights to particles + gravity + time = cleaner water. After tiz is filtration

Filtration is nothing more than to filter up foreign object by passing to a porous medium such as sand, gravel etc. so nothing more to explain here.

me and Joel taking picture above the filtration tank.

i didn't show u more picture but next in line is the addition of chlorination to kill or to reduce the number of bacteria lepak inside the water. then the water is pumped into the clearwater well before distribute it to end user. the end.haha

this is the end of our journey at Batu Kitang Water Treatment Plant. merchandise are given to appreciate the support and guidance by Mr. Dennis. off we goo

yeah it was cool
