I felt that the Jurong Island trip was educational. The tour helped me to know more about the oil refineries situated in the Island and the storage of different chemical substances in the tanks.
I learned that seven islands make up the Jurong Island. Some of the different companies are situated closely to one another as the different substances are sent through the pipes to form a new compound such as hydrocarbon. This method allows a more convenient purpose.
Furthermore, I was able to know more about the different elements and its characteristics from the Chem Gallery. I learned about how they inject steam into the fumes in the flare tower to make the fumes smokeless.
Also, it was fascinating that oil is sent over from Indonesia which is quite a distance from Singapore through the underwater pipeline. The trip was indeed interesting and I learned a lot from it.
