THE LABORATORIES
IFOG has several laboratories in N29a building. The labs are:
CALIBRATION SYSTEM LABORATORY
This laboratory accredited with ISO-17025 provides services and facilities for calibrations and experiments on pressure and temperature system as well as fluid flow studies which include low to medium flow calibration facilities and metering research. Other facilities available are control and measurement, gas meter servicing and calibration, performance of gas meter through regulator and control valves functions and gas flow characteristics. The laboratory is also fully equipped with complete computer system facilities and temperature-controlled room.
ANALYTICAL LABORATORY
Analytical laboratory provide analytical and/or testing services for projects ranging from advanced R&D research projects to routine quality tests and chemical analysis.
CO-GENERATION & ENERGY UTILISATION LAB
This laboratory provides facilities for experiments related to gas control system and gas transmission and distribution which include metering methods and pressure regulating.
MALAYSIA THAILAND JOINT AUTHORITY LABORATORY
AFV DYNO TEST LABORATORY
IFOG with the cooperation of Energy Engineering Department has four basic and advanced level labs to assist students and researchers in their research or academic work. These labs, which are fully operated by staff of the Energy Engineering Department, plays an important role in the research and development in the gas field.
THE LABORATORIES ARE:
GAS SYSTEM LABORATORY (MAKMAL SISTEM GAS) at N09, FCEE, UTM
This laboratory provides facilities for experiments related to gas control system and gas transmission and distribution which include metering methods and pressure regulating. Facilities available include pipe installation system using materials such as polyethylene (PE), carbon steel and copper pipe. Furthermore, there is an opportunity to understand concepts on gas metering, gas flow meter, coating defection as well exploring the methodology of gas pipeline jointing method. Other facilities available are corrosion kits, flow measurement kits, and porosity detection tool.
GAS TESTING AND UTILISATION LABORATORY at FCEE, UTM
This laboratory provides services for experiments on the quality and characterization of gas and liquid fuel such as density, calorific value and flame properties. There are also facilities available to further enhance the practical understanding of the basic concept of burner control and trouble shooting. In addition, thermal energy research is actively studied for hydrogen gas production through auto-thermal reaction (ATR) system in fuel cell utilization, environmental study using catalytic combustion system for high and low temperatures, energy saving and combined heat and power (CHP) and design system using the art of simulation modeling of CFD.
COMBUSTION SYSTEM LABORATORY at FCEE, UTM
This laboratory is equipped with a complete range of domestic and industrial equipments that are used in research and academic purposes such as fuel combustion system, flame characteristics test rig, industrial combustion simulation software, flue gas analysis system and various types of industrial burners such as recuperative and regenerative burners for combustion efficiency and exhaust emission studies.
