Kota Samarahan, 7th September 2018: Yang Am at Berhormat Datuk Patinggi Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg, Chief Minister of Sarawak visited the UNIMAS Water Desalination Laboratory, situated within the university’s main campus at Kota Sam arahan.
Also present duri ng the visit are Yang Berbahagia Prof. Dato’ Dr Mohamad Kadim Suaidi, Vice Chancellor of UNIMAS; Yang Berbahagia Prof. Dr. Wan Hashim Wan Ibrahi m, Deputy Vice Chancellor of Research and Innovation, and Yang Berbahagia P rof.

The Water Desalination Laboratory is led by Prof. Dr. M. Shahidul Islam as the Principal Researche r of UNIMAS Water Desalination projects. Prof. Dr. M. Shahidul Islam is an academic staff with the Faculty of Engineering, UNIMAS and has been active in the field of water desalination since 1995.
He has been working with various national and interna tional industries, among others and the most recent ones are Sarawak Hydro Power Plant (2015-2018) and Niagra Dying process for freshwater production by separating dissolved salts.
< span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Arial, sans-se rif;">The main objectives of the water desalination research are firstly, t o produce fresh water from saline water sources (river and sea) by using gr een technology and secondly, to produce fresh water from the industrial was tewater stream using zero waste discharge technology.
In addition, the current water desalination re search looks into the development of the water recovery technology from pal m oil mill effluent (POME). This work is in line with the waste of resource s [WtR[ recovery model.
T he successful outcome of the advanced POME treatment will result not only i n recovering water resources but will also contribute in the generation of renewable energy including methane (CH4) and hydrogen(H2).
Subsequently, this contributes to reducin g global warming potential (GWP) and climate change effects. As such, the r esults from this project contributes to safeguarding Sarawak's natural reso urces and environment while at the same time, contributes to the economic g rowth of the state.
