Internship in Nestlé - 21st & 22nd Dec 2016 (8am - 5pm)

Wednesday, 21^st Dec 2016 (8am - 5pm)

At 9.15 a.m., as usual, we had a meeting with the operators. During the safety section, the WWTP operator Desa brought up an issue that it is dangerous when taking the data from the flowmeter installed along the pipeline of the wastewater source as there is a metal bar nearby for the DPRS installation. This issue was recorded down and to be solved.

At 10.00 a.m., I went to the DPRS site to observe and do the pipeline tracing for the upstream (MBRs) again while checking the information I had gathered previously. I updated the Excel file of the Maintenance Plan in the office.

At 11.00 a.m., I began to study and summarize the process description of DPRS and made my own notes for my understanding of the knowledge of DPRS.

At 3.00 p.m., I continued the information checking while observing the remaining part of DPRS, which is the RO system. The installation was ongoing and the chemical dosing systems had not been installed yet.

At 4.00 p.m., I went back to the office while updating the Excel file. Jaclyn had told me that our country, Malaysia is the third country to install the DPRS in water treatment in Nestlé, which is under construction now. DPRS is an advanced technology that reuses and recycles clean water for other purposes as an effort for water sustainable development.

At 8.30 a.m., my colleagues Shanji and Jaclyn asked me about my progress on the current task. I had reported to them that certain information was unavailable. We decided to visit the DPRS installation site together this afternoon.

At 9.15 a.m., as usual, we had a meeting with the operators. They had informed us of any issues in their working sites.

At 10.00 a.m., I studied the DPRS process and the function of each equipment, including the purpose of chemical dosing systems using the P&IDs and site layout. This aids me in further understanding the process for my following tasks in the future.

At 2.30 p.m., it was cloudy but three of us still visited the DPRS site to study and trace the pipelines together. I shared my understanding of DPRS with them. We discussed among each other about the existing WWTP and DPRS. Shanji also shared his industrial experience when he observed something at the site.

At the end of the visit, I was glad as they thanked me that I had done a great job of guiding them to understand the process more easily. Throughout the task, I found it very interesting to study P&ID and conduct pipeline tracing of process systems in the actual site at the same time.
