Plasma consists of ions and electrons as well as neutral species although overall it is electrically neutral. Plasma can be obtained using electrical discharge under low to high pressure. Electron density, electron temperature of plasma as well as bulk temperature are important factors to determine the characteristics of the plasma. Based on the characteristics of the plasma, there are many applications considered and industrialized including material, environmental and energy processings. Especially in the case of thermal plasma which has high gas temperature and shows thermodynamic equilibrium between electrons, ions and neutral species, it is able to heat, melt and vaporize materials to be treated rapidly. Thus thermal plasma is being applied in the synthesis of fine powders, metallurgy, the destruction and treatment of hazardous wastes, and coating with high melting point materials. On the other hand, non-thermal plasma characterized by different temperatures between electrons, ions and neutrals has active species even under low temperatures. Hence the plasma is used for semiconductor etching and CVD, surface modification, and the treatment of heat-sensitive materials including polymers and biological tissues. In this presentation, the characteristics of various plasmas are explained followed by introducing plasma applications considered and industrialized especially in the chemical engineering fields.

About 80% to 90% of fuels consumed in the World today are derived from fossil fuels. Peaking of world energy supply by 2020-2030 and depletion in 40-50 years time will precipitate an energy crisis that threatens World energy security. Green house gases (GHG) emissions from fossil fuel use cause of global warming and climate change. The World urgently need to phase out fossil fuels in favour of renewable and alternative fuel resources that are either carbon neutral or have low or zero emission. Global nuclear energy expansion is plagued with negative public sentiments because of recent containment failure. Large-scale biofuel deployment is uncertain because crops for fuel and for food conflict. Solar energy is constrained by costs while wind and wave energy are hindered by low energy extraction efficiency, seasonal variability and weather unpredictability. On the other hand, H2 energy using fuel cell technology that is green, sustainable, clean, environmental friendly, and emits only water, offers the best alternative clean energy, but is constrained by cost, durability and safety of H

transport and storage. Hence the priority of R&D in fuel cells is to develop cheaper and more durable fuel cell technology that can match the cost and durability of conventional internal combustion engines (ICEs) and combined cycle power stations using fossil fuels. Fuel cell cost must be reduced to $30/kW in order to be competitive with conventional power conversion technology. In addition, the fuel cell stack lifetime of 2500 h for transportation and 20,000 hours for stationary application achieved in 2009 must be doubled to meet the target of 5000 h and 40,000 h for transportation and stationary application respectively. Both the cost and durability targets can be achieved by a greater fundamental understanding of the inter-related and complex processes occurring in the fuel cell stack and balance of plant. The enhanced ionic conductivity and electrocatalysis of cheap nanomaterials, nanostructures and nanosystems would increase fuel cell performance and durability but at less cost. Fuel cell cost can be reduced and its durability can be improved by replacing the costly electrocatalyst Pt, with new cheaper more durable nanostructures, nanomaterials and nanosystems such as nitrogen or transition metal doped CNTs (NCNTs), carbon nanofibers (CNF), carbon nanowires (CNW), carbon nanoshells (CNS) and carbon nano-sheets (CNS) or graphenes in PEMFCs, DMFCs and MFCs. Both cost reduction and durability improvement of membranes can also be achieved by replacing expensive Nafion membranes in the three types of fuel cells with new high temperature inorganic/organic nanocomposite membranes containing nanostructures, nanomaterials and nanosystems such as graphene oxide as well as inorganic nanomaterials such as silica and transition metal oxides nanopowders.

The proposed keynote lecture is focused on the possibility to control the changes of food product quality occurring during drying process. Drying usually decrease the quality of food products in terms of texture, chemical composition, colour, flavour and taste. It turns out, that by the proper combination of particular methods of dehydration, it is possible to design food products of certain quality attributes. For example, dehydration of fruit and vegetables in the designed osmotic solutions is an excellent pre-treatment method applied prior to vacuum microwaved (VM) finish drying. However, many factors of combined drying should be taken into consideration in order to assure the specific quality of the dried products. Among others the most important factors are: time of the osmotic pre-treatment, temperature, composition and concentration of osmotic solutions, as well as, microwave wattage during VM finish drying adjusted to the allowable temperature of the dried material. In addition to these issues some problems concerning determination of the food product quality will be also presented. Particular attention will be put on the bioactivity, sensory traits intensity and consumer acceptability and as well the instrumental methods for texture determination.

Existing pressure relief and flare system capacity is sometimes challenged following unit upgrades and expansions, addition of new process units or the re-routing of atmospheric vents to the existing flare system. Traditional relief load estimation methodologies are known to be overly conservative and can lead to the overdesign of flare systems or to the determination that such plant upgrades now require a flare capacity expansion. Dynamic simulation has become an accepted methodology to more accurately determine relief loads when traditional conservative methodologies indicate the existing flare is at or over capacity.

Dynamic simulation with DYNSIM®, from SimSci™, can also be used for the thermal analysis of flare relief lines to realistically calculate the piping mean metal temperatures during relief and avoid unnecessary relief pipe expense, replacement, or redesign. This presentation demonstrates how dynamic simulation generates benefits to worldwide major refining and petrochemical companies.

Water is fast becoming a valuable commodity all over the world due to increasing scarcity of available water supplies which affects many regions. Recently Malaysia, especially, the Klang Valley region experienced prolonged drought season which resulted in the decrease in water supply.

Many cities, local governments and nations are looking to wastewater recycling as a potential source of water for various uses, especially non-potable uses such as landscaping, toilet flushes, and industrial processes and reuse. Membrane technology specifically ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis will play important role in the treatment of wastewater for recycling. Integrated membrane system has been used in many cases to treat municipal wastewater up to the standard which can be used as reclaimed water. As the cost of membranes decreases and the performance improves significantly, it is expected that membrane technology will be the dominant technology to provide alternative water resource in order to make it more sustainable. This paper will discuss this issue by looking at the technical, economics and social acceptance aspects.

Over the recent years, industry has been soberly reminded of the major accident risks of working at both onshore and offshore hazardous facilities through news of major accidents that continue to occur despite engineering advances achieved in this 21st century. It is undeniable that many companies have invested resources in terms of effort and finance in ensuring heightened awareness of implementing safety engineering measures at their major hazards facilities. The initiatives for lowering the risks of a plant should be ideally initiated at the design stage. However the ability to make informed decisions balancing safety, cost and schedule will require the vision for process safety and operations risk to be put into context. Dr. Phang will share on how risk management processes are applied to identify potential hazardous events, analyses them, eliminate where possible and provide sufficient control and protection for the risks that remain. She will also discuss the challenges faced by engineers who play a key role in supporting a company to embed the key safety principles into a plant design as well as people working in the plant.

Keynote Speaker

The improvement of catalytic performance of silica supported tungsten catalysts was investigated in the metathesis of 2-butene and ethylene for propylene production. The effect of 2-butene cis/trans isomer reactant feed on catalytic activity was studied and it has been found that pure trans-2-butene feed could provide higher 2-butene conversion and propylene yield than the cis/trans isomer feed because the obstacle of reactant molecule phenomenon of mixed cis/trans feed was occurred. The reactant temperature program desorption was employed to explain this phenomenon and it was suggested that the dispersion of tungsten was affected by reactant molecule. Another way for improving of the dispersion of tungsten oxide specie is adding an extra support to the catalysts by physical mixing. The effect of particle sizes of micro- and nano-sized SiO

2 and TiO

2 extra supports were examined and it has been

found that adding nano-sized extra supports could enhance the 2-butene conversion and propylene yield. The migration of tungsten oxide species from main support to the extra supports during thermal condition via thermal spreading was discovered and catalytic activity was improved due to better dispersion of WOx evidenced from FT-Raman spectroscopy. However, adding nano-sized extra supports also led to higher acidity, subsequent higher coking was followed. To mitigate the acidity, ion exchange with NaOH was used to treatment on the catalyst WO

3/SiO

2. Although both Lewis and Brönsted acid sites

were decreased, the metathesis activity remained constant. This suggested that the remaining acidity on the catalyst was enough to ensure the efficient formation of the carbene active sites. Interestingly, the isomerization activity was slightly decreased by the NaOH treatment. Other beneficial effects of the NaOH treatment were to shorten the induction period and to reduce coke formation on the WO

3/SiO

2 catalyst.

(1R)-(-)-Camphor-10-sulfonic acid (10-CSA) was introduced as a novel organic solid catalyst for the processing of acidic crude palm oil (ACPO) mixed with sludge palm oil (SPO) into biodiesel. SPO is a by-product from palm oil mill while ACPO is low grade crude palm oil with high moisture content and containing a range of unfavoured impurities. The main similarity between ACPO and SPO is the high free fatty acid (FFA) content. In this study, 10-CSA was used in the esterification of ACPO mixed with SPO to reduce the FFA content to the acceptable limit, which is less than 1%. 10-CSA shows high catalytic activity in the esterification of FFA in comparison to conventional catalysts. The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time and molar ratio on FFA reduction were studied. Under optimum conditions, the FFA content was reduced from 8.8% to less than 1%. 10-CSA was recycled three times without any apparent loss of activity. The produced biodiesel meets the international biodiesel standards, such as EN 14214 and ASTM D6751.

Persistent organic pollutants or POPs are chemicals that persist in the environment and resist many forms of degradation. They are known to cause adverse effects on health and the environment. Due to these effects, the Stockholm Convention on POPs has been established for the purpose of restricting and finally eliminating the production, use, import and export of these chemicals. In 2001, the Stockholm convention listed twelve chemicals called the “Dirty Dozen”. In 2009, the convention was amended by the addition of nine new POPs or the “Nasty Nines”. In 2011, endosulfan was added to the list of POPs. Last year, HBCD was approved to be added as POP. Many more chemicals are being reviewed for inclusion to the list of POPs.

Article 7 of the convention requires parties to the convention to develop a national implementation plan (NIP) and review & update it when new POPs are added. NIP demonstrates how the

Professor Gallardo specializes in environmental engineering, environmental catalysis, and industrial and hazardous waste treatment / management. Her papers have been published in both national and international refereed journals, as well as in national and international conference proceedings. She has been a recipient of awards from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Swedish International Research and Development Agency(SIDA), the

International Bibliographical Center in London, and the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), among other prestigious national and international institutions.

Recently, she is the lead consultant of the World Bank IPOP project (Component 5-Assessment of POPs contaminated sites) contracted for AECOMS. She is also the National Project Coordinator of UNIDO Enabling Activity on the Review and Update of the NIP of the Stockholm Convention on POPs.

obligations of the Parties to the Stockholm Convention will be implemented, as well as the action plans and strategy that need to be implemented in order to phase out, eliminate or reduce persistent organic pollutants (POPs) listed under the Stockholm Convention (Annex A, B and C).

The Philippines is a signatory country to the Stockholm convention. The Philippine NIP for the dirty dozen was submitted to the secretariat of the SC in 2006. Because of the inclusion of the nasty nines and endosulfan, a GEF funded project implemented by UNIDO was given to the Philippine government through the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and endorsed to the Asian Regional Research Program on Environmental Technology (ARRPET) of De la Salle University (DLSU). The updated NIP was endorsed to EMB on August 20, 2014.

The updated NIP contains action plans and strategies for the twenty two POPs. The keynote lecture will focus on these plans and strategies of the Philippine government. Lastly, it will enumerate ways where chemical engineers, environmental engineers and scientists can work together in addressing the grand challenges of the NIP.
