Study Trip to Neste Oil Plant

On Wednesday, 10 Aug 2011, after classes and accompanied by lecturers, some year 2 and year 3 CER students visited Neste Oil Plant in Tuas. From the talk by the person-in-charge, we were introduced to the production, raw materials, uses, advantages to biodiesel that they are producing and many more interesting information. Although we could not tour the production plant due to safety issues, we managed to view the massive structures from afar before leaving. Overall, such visits brings reality to our course and subject and is an eyeopener to all of us.
