post graduate Diploma in Accounting
from Ain Shams University in 2001.
Mr. Ashraf El-Hadidy joined Enppi
in 1991 as Personnel Administrator
and promoted in supervisory positions.
He worked as Appraisal, Promotions
and Time Control Section Head in
2000, then he occupied the position
of the «Personnel Dept. Manager» in
2005, afterwards, he was promoted
to the position of «Assistant General
Manager & Supervisor of Personnel
Dept.» in 2014. Mr. Ashraf ElHadidy supervised several personnel
upgrading systems in the department
to suit the company’s work capacity
accompanied by the increased number
of employees in the late years, and
the rapid changes in the Labor Laws,
computer applications diversity, and
management field revolutions.
Mr. A. El-Hadidy participated also
in the development and innovation
of the Personnel Dept. database.
The new database for the
annual appraisals, promotions,
employment and time control
have been initiated to contribute
in speeding up the release of the
required reports, and providing
the potentialities, and application of
the electronic Finger Print System.
Due to the fruitful cooperation
between the Information Technology
Division, and Personnel Dept. the
employees have recently accessed
their various reports such as;
Annual Vacations, In/Out, and
Medical reports on Enppi Intranet.
In addition, Personnel database has
been connected with several company
databases. The Personnel Dept. has
fulfilled a lot of Quality Management
Systems (QMS) requirements, as Mr.
A. El-Hadidy contributed in updating
Personnel regulations in 2004 in
compliance with the Labor Law No.
12 for year 2003, which resulted in
the modifications of promotions,
sanctions, laws and vacations rules,
in addition to the application of
maternity regulations starting from
the 6th month of pregnancy.
It is worth mentioning that, Mr.
Ashraf holds a Bachelor of Law; from
Cairo University in 1989. He also obtained a lot of training courses in management, administrative regulations
and labor law.
The increasing demand on Information Technology,
and the necessity to use evolving software in Enppi,
have been adding a lot to the IT spending sum, on both
the OPEX, and CAPEX sides. The number of hardware
items, computing and networking devices, in the data
center used to keep multiplying year after year in order to
accommodate the increasing demand. Accordingly, not
only the operational cost of running the data center of
such size was quite daunting, but also the risk of having
higher rates of services disruptions became greater due to
the complexity of the underlying hardware.
The virtualization technology introduces key
solutions to these concerns. The main idea is to untie
the conventional link between the machine hardware
and operating system through introducing what is called
the «Virtualization Layer» or the «Hypervisor». The
Hypervisor is then responsible for breaking up the total
capacities of computing, networking and storage of
the underlying hardware server into smaller units and
providing isolated packages of these units to several
instances of operating systems running on top of it.
Recently, and due to the rapid advancement in
Semiconductor Technology, the performance of
processors, memory chips, interfaces and hard disks that
exist in most midrange hardware servers available on the
market today exceed by far the hardware requirements
of most applications that run in Enppi, if any of these
applications runs alone on the hardware server. Without
using the virtualization, the real value that the company
gets out of the modern hardware could be much less
than the incurred investments with the focus of reducing
operational costs.
Fig.1 A Suite of Utilities of the Virtualization System Allowing for
Several Monitoring Views and Root Course Analysis Tools
Hardware vendors have
been developing their products
not only to make them more
compatible with virtualization
technology, but to allow for
Mr. Ramy Mohamed
more consolidation on other
IT Division
dimensions as well. Blade
servers are one realization of such development. The
blade servers are stripped down servers with modular
design optimized to minimize the physical space, and
energy while maintaining the similar quality levels as the
equivalent traditional servers.
Enppi expanded the use of virtualization technology
to cover more than 50% of the IT Provision and embarked
on a starting number of blade servers that further reduced
the footprint and operational cost in a significant way.
On the benefits side, with such technologies in place,
fulfilling varying and urgent business requests have
never been more responsive. From one day to another, IT
Division tasks, including backups, restores, monitoring,
troubleshooting, maintenance and power calculations
are now performed with much less impact on normal
operation and with significantly greater effectiveness and
efficiency.
Enppi is planning to expand the virtualization
platform and get more of blade servers by time, with the
goal of reaching the optimum cost benefit balance of IT.
One more potential future benefit of this direction is to
become ready for future paradigm of IT services, where
the concept of cloud computing may be dominant and
IT services are provided independently on the physical
location of the hardware.

Society is currently facing an increasing demand for
energy, while conventional energy resources are diminishing,
with growing concerns on fossil fuel scarcity and their
implications on the environment.
Global policy makers have begun exerting roadmaps
towards increasing energy efficiency and sustainable greenenergy generation. Among the renewable resources, the
energy through the photovoltaic (PV) effect can be considered
an essential, prerequisite and sustainable resource because of
the solar radiant energy abundance.
Multiphase structure with interleaved control is essential
for the high-power boost converters to reduce the ripple
current, and the size of passive components. Therefore, the
main target of the research is to analyze and implement a
three-phase Interleaved Boost Converter (IBC) with a high
performance and high efficiency. In this topology, interleaved
technique is used to double the switching frequency by
means of phase shifting with the aim to overcome power
semiconductor limitations. The considered IBC is reported in
Fig.1 & Fig.2.
Furthermore, Max Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
technique is used to provide a fast dynamic response, based
on the inherent advantages and detailed theoretical analysis
for PV applications. Incremental conductance algorithm is
implemented to set the duty cycle. It searches for the MPP
through comparing the output power of the PV array before
and after adjusting the duty cycle of the converter.
Two PV systems' applications have been analyzed, shown
in Fig.1 and Fig.2, in order to investigate the feasibility of
using the proposed converter. A 34-kw PV arrays based
on “SuntechSTP270S” modules are used. For stand-alone
system; Fig.3 presents the dynamic performance of the PV
system and its converter, while the performance of the inverter
with/without using filter is demonstrated in Fig.4.
As for Grid-Connected system; Fig.5 presents the

The “30th Annual Water Treatment Technology”
conference was organized by Abu Qir Fertilizers Co.
during the period from June 3rd–5th, 2014 in Alexandria.
Enppi has participated with a paper titled “Review of
Construction Materials Dedicated for the RO Water
Treatment Packages” presenting its experience in the
materials selection gained from several project execution.
The paper comprised a detailed explanation for its title,
as follows:Water Treatment by Reverse Osmosis (RO) process
encounters expanding use in the Chemical Process
Industries (CPI). Selection of Materials of Construction
(MOC) including metallic, non-metallic, and composites
requires full understanding of properties, limitations,
forms of corrosion affecting RO Units.
1. Highlights on Chemical and Physical Characteristics
of Water :RO packages are used to treat various sources of water
(fresh, brackish, sea water, formation water, industrial
waste water, etc.) that differs in salinity, electrical
conductivity, pH, Chlorides (Cl-) content, dissolved gases
(e.g.O2, CO2, or H2S), temperature, suspended solids,
microorganisms (e.g. algae and bacteria), and others,
i.e., Calcium Carbonate, Sulfates, Metal Oxides, Silica,
Sulfur, and Colloids) that affect water corrosion.
2. Material Selection for the «RO»:The commonly used metallic materials are carbon
steels, and corrosion resistant alloys CRAs such as; the
austenitic and duplex stainless steels). Nevertheless, nonmetallic materials (such as PVC, CPVC, PE, PP, PVDF,
RO Unit Under Construction
Eng. Ahmed Eissa
Material Corrosion
Dept.
GRP, GRE and the dual laminate) are widely used in
these packages. Short highlights of these materials are
introduced below.
• Metallic Materials: (Carbon Steel)
Carbon steel corrodes when exposed to water, unless
they are treated against scale and corrosion, or otherwise
to be de-aerated. The major constituents in water that
affect corrosion characteristics (and scaling, which
affects corrosion indirectly) are dissolved oxygen (DO),Cl- content, pH, and total hardness.
• Stainless Steel:
The stainless steels have five groups, where the most
commonly used in RO are the austenitic (300 series),
duplex and super duplex stainless steel. In processing
chloride-laden waters, the common corrosion mechanisms
are pitting, crevice and stress corrosion cracking.
• Non-Metallic Materials:
There are various types of Non-metallic materials.
Selection of the type depends on the intended service. Nonmetallic materials have lightweight, easy in installation,
have expectancy long-life, and lower lifecycle cost in
addition to its corrosion and chemical resistance. These
advantages led to wide acceptance of plastics materials
in the RO plants. Plastics can be classified according
to their performance on heating to thermoplastic, and
thermosetting.
- Thermoplastics:
The most common thermoplastic materials are made
of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Chlorinated Polyvinyl
Chloride (CPVC), Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene
(PE) and Poly Vinylidene Fluoride
(PVDF). The main challenges for
the thermoplastics are the sensitivity
to temperature; the temperature
sensitivity of plastics leads to a
decrease of pressure rating with
temperature rises.
PVC have a maximum service
temperature of 60°C, CPVC has
a maximum of 105°C, PP has a
maximum of 82°C, and PVDF
A Figure Shows RO Unit Used for Sea Water Treatment
materials can maintain pressure up to 135°C. However,
the fluid composition/concentrations of chemicals have
great influence in the maximum acceptable temperature
for each non-metallic material.
PP exhibits better heat and corrosion resistance and
is stiffer than PE and has half the strength of PVC and
CPVC, also it has the most versatile chemical resistance.
PP is available as a pigmented or un-pigmented (natural)
material. Types that contain more than 2.5% carbon black
pigmentation are adequately UV stabilized.
PVDF piping systems are used in a variety of RO
applications because of its strength, working temperature
and chemical resistance to salts, strong acids and dilute
bases. PVDF is not degraded by sunlight.
- Thermosetting materials:
There are numbers of thermosetting resin materials
available; vinyl esters have slightly improved chlorine
water resistance.
- Elastomers or Rubber:
A third group of plastics are elastomers or rubber,
which is similar to thermosets with respond to heat.
Several types of this category have excellent corrosion
and abrasion resistance.
• Composites:
Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP), also known as
Reinforced Thermosetting Polymer (RTP) and Glass
Reinforced Polymer (GRP). When the used resin is
epoxy, then it is known as Glass
Reinforced Epoxy (GRE). It has
superior strength and lesser thermal
expansion compared with plastic
materials. Temperature limitation
(70- 130° C) depending on the
intended service.
- Dual Laminates:
For more corrosion protection,
and long term reliability, FRP
equipment or tanks can be lined with
plastic sheets lining such as (PVC,
PP, PVDF, etc.), which is called Dual Laminate material.
3. Post Selection Engineering Considerations:The following examples highlight some considerations
after specifying the materials:
• Whenever austenitic and duplex stainless steels are
specified, they must be purchased in the solution annealed
condition; otherwise, deleterious phases may precipitate
in the material structure leading to a severe drop in the
corrosion resistance.
• For the FRP materials, inspection shall ensure that
the tank has no swelling, blistering, discoloring, and
softening; as poor mixing and winding can lead to visible
fibers, spots, delamination and cracks.
• After specifying FRP, special care is demanded during
the installation, commissioning and operation phases.
The tanks should be isolated from connecting piping by
expansion joints, do not use tank nozzles for supporting
connected piping, and ensure the concrete under the tank
is smooth and covered with rubber material not sand
filling the inevitable gaps. Even during the storage of the
FRP materials, it should not rest on bare ground for long
term.
It is worth mentioning that, Enppi paper has been
prepared by Eng. Ahmed Eissa, Eng. Mohamed Hussein
Osman, and Dr. Fady El-Sabbagh (Note: the full paper

The last two decades were characterized by a
quick and sharp depth of the global variables that
impact the organizational operation, despite its
different qualities, which no longer fit with the
systems or the mechanisms of traditional work.
These mechanisms are no longer able to cope with the
future challenges or the global variables successively.
The strategic planning process for the development
of the organization is required, because it involves
choosing the best response to the circumstances that
constitute a changing environment.
This development is a continuous process in
which experiences are accumulated and developed.
From this standpoint, the strategic planning of the
Procurement Division concluded the inevitability of
the working methodology upgrade and raising the
efficiency of the business cycle in various Depts./
Divs. in addition to the integration and exploitation
of all its cadres.
The Procurement Division operates via seven
specialized technical departments, which are
required to be integrated into the division and with
other corporate divisions. Thus, it became necessary
to rely on an «Integrated Information System», and
on the formation of an organization that oversees
and develops the system.
Among its other administrative and technical
objectives that will state hereinafter, the action plan
to bridge the gap was as follows:
1. It was decided to create that system in-house
and perform the programing in the “Information
Technology Division”, to exploit the available
resources and potentialities through upgrading
the application modules existent in the company
database and complete the required sub-systems that
will be integrated with the already upgraded systems
related to the vendors’ registration, material control
department, and the suppliers accounts payable in
the Finance Division. Maximum attention is being
paid to avoid interrupting the departments’
current workflow in the Procurement
Division as a result of this integration.
2. The required system will be used by
Procurement Division staff with unlimited
user licenses.
3. Technical support and training will be
done through the Information Technology
Division not via an external third party.
4. The plan will be executed on phases and
the system will not hinder or interrupt the
work performed in the company projects.
5. Several modules were created and
completed for purchasing, expediting,
inspection and logistics to be integrated
with each other and linked with the vendors’
registration and material management.
Therefore, the database covered all
procurement procedural steps and enables
issuing all reports used in the processes
of purchasing, follow up, expediting,
inspection and logistics. All transactions
will be operated web-based via the internet.
6. Managers and leaders module have been
activated to deal directly with the system
without entering the specialization modules.
7. EPS was integrated into the Engineering
Divisions issuance of the Material
Requisitions (MRQ) via the e-MRQ system
and was integrated as well with accounts
payable system in the Finance Division.
8. Currently, the system is being integrated
via interactive unit “Supplier Scope
Workflow” System related to the suppliers'
workflow, through which suppliers can
login the system via the internet, to check
their own purchase orders on the EPS, and
perform work scope packages detailing.
9. EPS is being managed and supervised via
Procurement Support Office (PSO), which
is an ad-hoc program management office
within the Procurement Division, managed
by a selected expertise from the division
staff who are reassigned to run the office,
in order to reach the targeted procurement
effectiveness and to align the process with
the corporate strategies in a reforming
manner, as well as to support and develop
the “EPS”.
10. All Procurement Division staff have
been trained to utilize the EPS system.

Instrumentation & Control Engineering Division aims at
improving the work permanently and continuously, through
applying global engineering software programs to save time
and boost productivity. SmartPlant instrumentation software
is one of the most important software programs recently
applied in many various international oil & gas companies.
This is due to its accurate and fast facilities and properties,
which contribute to the implementation of projects' design and
engineering in I&C Field.
This software works on Oracle Database, to facilitate
monitoring and follow-up project instrumentation and control
from design to startup phase. This program issues several
reports for Instrumentation and Control Systems Division
such as:
• Instrument index
• Specification sheets
• Hook-ups, wiring and loop drawings
• Control room system cabinets design
The
software
database
could be connected with other
databases used in different
engineering
divisions;
i.e.
SmartPlant P&ID Software for
Process Technology Division
and SmartPlant Electrical for
Electrical Engineering Division.
This process achieves the
Eng. Emad El-Shokary
integrated and homogenous I&C Engineering Division
workflow for I&CS information
to be reliable on different project phases therefore; it reduces
occupied time in transferring data from various Depts. /Divs.
and increases accuracy for competing in the coming projects.
Eng. Emad El-Shokary from I&C Engineering Division
in cooperation with Process Technology Division prepared a
precise study for the software database, activated some features
and added oracle codes to enable the process integration.
Enppi exerts continuous efforts to reduce energy
consumption through executing some specific plans in
Enppi headquarters and applying the energy committee
recommendations. Enppi managed to record 18% reduction in
the electrical energy consumption during the first half of 2014
in comparison with the same period of last year. Meanwhile,
Enppi aims at reducing energy consumption by 30% as per the
instructions of the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation
(EGPC). Therefore, the maintenance Dept. has carried out
some procedures to achieve this target such as:
• Replacing the spot light by energy- saving light bulbs.
• Decreasing the operation hours of air-conditioning system.
• Suspending half of the elevators on Saturdays.
• Suspending electrical water heaters in summer.
• Installing light switches in different locations to switch
light off when not needed.
• Applying Green IT Technology by putting computers on
idle, or sleep auto mode when not in use; which saves 5000
kw/h monthly and lower carbon dioxide emissions by 3.5
ton.
• Increasing the employees' awareness of the importance of
energy consumption conservation.
Energy Management Systems Dept. regularly monitors
the above mentioned procedures during the monthly
energy committee meetings, the results are reviewed and
the new recommendations concerning energy consumption
conservation are discussed.
The following graph shows energy consumption
rationalization during the 1st half of 2014 in comparison
with the same period of previous year.
• Total Consumption in the 1st half of 2013 was 2745667 KW/h
• Total Consumption in the 1st half of 2014 was 2241306 KW/h
• Consumption Saving is 504361 KW/h with a reduction of 18%
Vehicles exhausts are the main danger that threatens the
environment nowadays. It has a direct negative impact on
the air pollution level. With multiple models, designs and
types, the number of vehicles was doubled along the past
two decades, doubling their negative impact on environment.
Vehicles exhausts are comprised of many types of gas
including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. They are
major pollutants that affect the respiratory system causing
inflammation to the trachea, coughing, asthma, irritation
of eyes and skin especially in humid atmosphere. The
high concentrated amounts of carbon monoxide may cause
death, as it replaces oxygen in the red blood cells, therefore,
oxygen cannot be restored during the breathing process.
Hydrocarbon gases are produced from the incomplete
combustion processes of fuel.
Vehicles & Restoration of the Environment
Many countries adopted strict procedures to decrease air
pollution caused by vehicles. The agencies responsible for
the application of regulations specify quantity standards for
the pollution levels of the vehicles exhausts. In Finland, the
«Finish Technological Research Center» initiated a system
through which cars causing pollution can be detected while
being driven, in an attempt to control the amount of exhausted
gases that affect the health of humans and environment as
well. The new system uses the infrared radiation to register
the data of the polluting vehicle using digital cameras to
identify such a vehicle.
The idea depends on placing two rectangular boxes on
the sides of the road, between which the infrared radiation
passes, once the vehicle breaks the radiation, the amount
of exhausted gases can be easily calculated. Vehicles
manufacturers achieved a progress in reducing the exhaust of
the major pollutants through strict environmental standards.
For instance, the amount of carbohydrate gases and carbon
monoxide were reduced by 95% and oxides of nitrogen
were reduced by 90%. Due to the installation of the
mobile catalyst in the exhaustion systems of
the vehicles, it became possible to transfer
carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons
into carbon dioxide and vapor. Vehicles
should be technically tested including
the exhaustion systems, according to the
terms and regulations imposed by the
laws of traffic and environment.
Laboratory Vehicles for Air Surveillance
The Ministry of Environment is playing an essential
role in the surveillance of the quality of air, and observing
all types of pollutants. In this respect, the Ministry should
be keen to possess laboratory vehicles to enhance its ability
to apply air quality surveillance plans. These vehicles can
observe and register the levels of gas pollutants, dust and the
molecules diameters of aero-planktons. Many factors can
help to reduce the pollution resulting from vehicles exhaust,
i.e. the right selection of fuel and regular maintenance.
Fuel adulteration by some fuel stations or addition of
combustible materials increases the environmental
risks. The authorities responsible for monitoring these
stations should present the necessary solutions
to limit the emission of air pollutants in order
to avoid dangerous effects on humans, and
environment.
