Biography

I was formally trained as chemical engineer, graduating with a BSc (Hons) in Chemical Engineering from Loughborough University, UK in 1980, and PhD from University of Surrey in 1985. Except for a 10-year stint in industry, all my working years have been in universities involving teaching and research. My current research is on the complete sequestration of CO2 waste gas, by feeding it through a permeation membrane to a microalgae culture growing by photosynthesis in palm oil mill effluent under sunlight, in an expanding volume fed-batch paddle-stirred raceway bioreactor, as part of a zero-waste palm oil processing concept.

Bacterial Isolation from Palm Oil Plantation Soil for Biodiesel Production: Isolation and Molecular Identification as Inferred by 16s RNA

Biodiesel (methyl esters) is a clean alternative fuel which can be produced from many renewable resources. Palm oil, like other vegetable oils, can be used as feedstock for biodiesel production through transesterification to produce palm oil methyl ester. Various microorganisms like bacteria and fungi have a diversity application which could be use... Read More»
