Xx Almost There xXAlright. 10 weeks into attachment, I think. 14 to go. Not that I really dread working at Sulzer, in fact I think it's quite fun working there. Great colleagues, nice managers, pretty interesting job scope. I really have learnt a lot this past 10 weeks. It's prepping me up for the
Final Year Project.
FYP will come under the module of Process Engineering Design. I've been told the FYP Design Brief for this semester. 2 classes will be designing the distillation column while the other 2 will design the condenser. Damn. Sulzer doesn't deal with condensers! Have been evaluating columns all this while. It's alright, 14 weeks left to squeeze out as much knowledge as I can, from my colleagues of course. They are like walking tomes of knowledges (Not that I literally see them as books!). Meheheh. I hope I
kena column designing though. Hahaha.
Oh yeah. Just realized P&ID actually has quite an influence on the grade. I need a P&ID / AutoCAD expert!
Wagner, sounds like a job for you. Mutual assistance ya! Can consider, eh?
On the topic of distillation, I really wonder, how many theoretical plates does it take to seperate 99.9% of the hydrocarbon components from a human body, provided it can be fed into the column as a liquid/vapor. I guess you'd need anti-fouling trays for this application. Wouldn't want chunks of flesh plugging up the tray sieve holes. Hahaha!
Morbid. Maybe they should set this as the FYP Design Brief for next semester. Lol.
FYP sounds exciting, but I really do hope I can work with the people I want though. Class reordering /
random team assignment is the
stupidest idea ever. Meh.
That's about it. Till next time, Au revoir!

P.P.S. Very obvious (maybe shameless) self-promotion,no? Hahahaha! Now, what's your offer? Rofl. Jez' Kidding.
