Built Environment & Climate Change
We are excited to facilitate our customers in initiating projects which integrate the science and engineering principles to improve the man-made environment (built environment) and climate change i.e. to provide healthy water, air, and land for future development and habitation, and to clean up polluted sites. Together, we help to transform and anticipate any challenges or new policies.
Site Screening & Selection
This research focuses on the identification of thermal power plants and sediment disposal areas.
Our analysis guides the screening, identification, and acquisition of suitable nearby sites for future development of gas, coal, and nuclear power plants in Peninsular Malaysia and finding appropriate nearby locations to deposit dredged sediments from the reservoir. This systematic process is essential to help safeguard future energy generation requirements in Peninsular Malaysia and strategic management of the deposition.
Air Pollution Modelling For Thermal Power Plant
Power Plant emissions resulted from the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, gas, and oil. The Ground Level Concentration (GLC) of emission dispersion from the power plant stack must meet the standard imposed by the Department of Environment (DoE) at the ambient or recipient areas.
Our research on air dispersion air modeling predicts the air quality impacts, evaluates and optimizes the appropriate mitigation and emission control measures, and quantifies the potential health benefits of emission reductions
Foam Formation
The presence of foam dispersed from power plant outfall could deteriorate the aesthetic value of the nearby seaside and may cause complaints from the residents, especially fishermen. This research on air dispersion air modeling predicts the air quality impacts, evaluates and optimizes the appropriate mitigation and emission control measures, and quantifies the potential health benefits of emission reductions.
Rentice Management
Most overhead distribution lines are installed across vegetation areas, including forests, idle and agricultural lands. Therefore, maintaining the lines-to-vegetation clearances is crucial due to safety reasons.
Controlling the growth of perennial shrubs, trees, and bamboos under the transmission lines is vital as these vegetation types can grow tall and cause flashover of the high voltage power lines. Our research proposes customized, cost-effective techniques for the mentioned purposes.
Pilot Mobile Water Treatment
Unlike fossil fuels, water has no sustainable alternatives. We have developed a pilot mobile water treatment that can prove the concept of the development of large-scale water treatment plants or water reclamation plants for our power plants to use during emergencies as backup facilities.
Water Footprint Assessment
In this research, we assess the company's actual sustainability of water consumption and contribution to pollution by Water Footprint Assessment.
We developed a Water Footprint tool to evaluate its water consumption, observe the past and future trending, and propose various potential mitigations to reduce water consumption.
Water Market Allocation
This study understands the blueprint of water, determines the opportunity cost of water, and facilitate water reallocation from its low to high values uses to increase the value of water.
