SYNOPSIS

Cogeneration systems combine power generation technology with waste heat recovery for the simultaneous generation of electrical power and thermal energy. The cogeneration process results in higher primary fuel efficiency compared to separate generation of power and thermal energy, and is recognized as a smart solution for decarbonizing the energy sector by reducing the carbon intensity of heat and power generation.

This half-day seminar discusses the various concepts available for implementation of an efficient and reliable cogeneration plant with particular emphasis on gas fired cogeneration systems. It covers the various equipment/technology available and includes several case studies of successful cogeneration projects in the region.


BIODATA OF SPEAKER

Mr. Danny Tam Hong Khai is an alumnus of the National University of Singapore, having graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. He has been involved in the District Energy industry since 1998, and has accumulated more than 19 years’ experience in the turnkey construction of District Cooling and Cogeneration plants in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and the UAE.

Mr. Danny has long been an ardent advocate of District Energy Systems as an eco-friendly solution, and this has led him to regularly share his experience and expertise at various lectures, seminars and conferences organised by the Institution of Engineers Malaysia, ASHRAE (Malaysia Chapter), Fleming Gulf, Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and Politeknik Ungku Omar.

Mr. Danny’s extensive portfolio of District Energy Plants include the following major projects: Cogeneration District Cooling Plant for Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok, Thailand), District Cooling Plant Biopolis (Singapore), 3 Plant District Cooling Network for Discovery Gardens (Dubai, UAE), 2 Plant District Cooling Network for Palm Jumeirah Trunk Crown (Dubai, UAE), Cogeneration District Cooling Plant for Universiti Teknologi Petronas (Tronoh, Perak), Cogeneration Power Plant for Petronas Penapisan Melaka (Sungai Udang, Melaka), CUP-2 Cogeneration Power Plant for Rayong Industrial Estate (Rayong, Thailand), Cogeneration Power Plant for Petronas Fertilizer Kedah (Gurun, Kedah), Cogeneration Power Plants for Petronas Gas Processing Plants A & B (Kerteh, Terengganu), District Cooling Plant for KLIA2 (Sepang, Selangor), District Cooling Plant for Abu Dhabi Airport Mid Field Terminal (Abu Dhabi, UAE) and Cogeneration Power Plant for Toray Industries (Prai, Penang).



Mr. Danny currently holds the position of General Manager (Technical) at Kuala Lumpur Engineering Centre, Shinryo Corporation’s design and engineering center for District Energy projects. Amongst his current District Energy projects are the District Cooling Plant serving Menara PNB 118 in Kuala Lumpur, an iconic development consisting of an 118 storey skyscraper (630m tall) together with a shopping complex, office buildings and residential suites, and the Cogeneration Plant Expansion at Utilities Gebeng serving the Gebeng Integrated Petrochemical Complex (IPC).
