I felt that the Jurong Island Trip was beneficial for me. I got to know more about the Island itself as well as the various companies and organizations that had set up their factories there.
Previously the only thing I knew about Jurong Island was that it is made up of seven islands, and was formed through land reclamation. However through the trip I got to know the names of the Seven Islands: Pulau Ayer Chawan, Pulau Ayer Merbau, Pulau Merlimau, Pulau Pesek, Pulau Pesek Kecil, Pulau Sakra and Pulau Seraya
*Correct me if I have any spelling mistakes.*
I learned more about the types of companies which sets up their factories there, and what do those factories produce. For example some of the companies with their factories there are: ExxonMobil, Shell and Mitsui Chemicals.
Most factories found at Jurong Island are developing/producing stuff like Oil, Petrochemicals and chemicals.
The Chem Gallery was a place with lots of information about the Island and about Natural Resources. It showcases the different types of processes which natural resources like crude oil needs to go through. This increases my knowledge about Crude Oil, about the different compounds which can be obtained from Crude Oil.
The Chem Gallery also shows me what are the safety precautions found at the Island. For example – There are two fire stations available at the Island. There are firefighting water found in red pipes.
I also know more about how materials are transported in the island through a network of pipelines.
Overall it was a fun and interesting trip. It was Worth the time.
