Day 29: Plant Visit GPP A.... continues

Once checked in at the Awana, Mr Azwanizam invited me to join him for dinner. Actually, one of his old friends is buying that night. He picked us up with his sports car... DAMN!! i wish i could have one..... HONDA EURO!! very nice manufactured sports car. Mr Azwanizam introduced me to him. After several chit chats, he is actually an Uniten Ex-student. He worked with a contractor company soon after he graduates. JEeeeZZZZ...

Hopefully im lucky as him.

Dinner at "Tomyam restaurant" located at ............."damn! i cant remember the place... the foods are quite nice... maybe im actually starving to death that time.. my last meal is at 12pm... and the time shows 1030pm when we are having dinner that time.... what a day.!! By the way.... i guess, since the foods is free... all the foods seems to be nice...hahhahahaha... FREE is ALWAYS GOOD!!.. hahahahaha

----- Back to the plant visits--- i've been toured around the GPP accompanied by the 2 skillel master of the plant itself. They brought me to the MCC panel room. This room is actually prohibited to non-permitted personnel to enter. Luckily, they are all friends, and i managed to leak myself in the room. The room is cold... this ventilation needed in order to maintain the temperature of the running MCCs. Those MCC and Switchgears are the main component of the plant operation. The heat could burn and thus damage the MCCs. Worst case, PETRONAS will loose a lot of money just by 1 minutes lagging..  So, prevention method is still applies to be the most effective ways of maintaining the operations.   

Inside the control Room, there are a person incharged as knwon as the " keeper" for all the equipments inside. This is due to the vital operation of the MCCs in order to ensure the production is running without any failure, faulty and difficulties.

Through the touring period, i could see bulky generators, compressors, all sizes of pipes... heard a lot of noises due to the operations of the machines... There areas inside the GPP A is almost equal to 15-20 soccer fields.. so you can imagine how spacious it is.... 

The spacey surrounding between the pipes and the machines, kept to my attentions.. Actually, those space are required for several purposes. There are:

1. For Safety purposes - the space could slower the effects of damages towards the vital loads
2. for Improvisation - the space could be the reserve area for new constructions
3. The Lengthy Pipes need some space and it is due to the effects of the gas... certain gas needed to be reduce the heats before certain processes...
