Gwadar turns less power-deficient city
Balochistan’s port city of Gwadar is now less power-deficient in practical terms after the 100MW Iran-Gwadar power transmission project.
Abdul Aziz Uqaili, the Chief Secretary of Balochistan and an engineer too said last month that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would inaugurate the 100MW Iran-Gwadar power transmission project during his visit to Balochistan which was due by writing this report.
Uqaili who was there for a high-level meeting to review the ongoing uplift projects in Gwadar said under the power transmission project, Gwadar will get 100 megawatts of electricity from Iran.
National Dispatch Company (NDC), Quetta Electric Supply Company (QESC), Gwadar Port Authority (GPA), Gwadar Development Authority (GDA), China Overseas Port Holding Company, and the departments concede with the project have completed their preparations.
The project was complete and what was left was the unveiling of the project that the prime minister was to do. The electricity supply to Gwadar will be formally started.
During his visit, the PM will also open the project of the first cross-stuffing facility at Gwadar Port, dredging at Gwadar Port. Besides, distribution of boat engine checks to the deserving fishermen of Gwadar will also be done,” he said.
The chief secretary reportedly stressed that the incumbent government was committed to the development of the coastal belt of Balochistan and through various uplift projects launched in the province, trying to benefit the local people of Balochistan.
“The implementation of all these projects is part of the vision of the PM Pakistan for Balochistan,” he emphasized.
Moreover, he was briefed about the administrative structure of the Gwadar district, its historical importance, and ongoing development projects by the federal and provincial governments.
Gwadar power woes are likely to be addressed by the end of this year after the completion of the 300 megawatts (MW) coal-fired power plant.
The 300MW coal-fired Gwadar Power Plant would cater needs of some 150,000 local people by the end of 2023 under the 2050 Master Plan of Gwadar.
The power plant of an independent power producer was one of the key energy projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), he added.
The project aimed at improving the reliability of the local power supply which would help gradually solve the problems in current economic development and urban construction in the Gwadar region, which is being restricted by the shortage of power.
All major projects under CPEC in Gwadar, including Gwadar Power Plant, the New Gwadar International Airport Project, the China Pak Friendship Hospital, China-Pak Technical and Vocational Institute in Gwadar, the Gwadar East-bay Expressway Project, Gwadar Free Zone, and Gwadar Port need energy.
Makran division of Balochistan depends on Iranian power for a long. Pakistan signed with Iran agreement in 2003 under which Iran had to daily supply 35 megawatts to Balochistan’s coastal belt.
In 2011, the agreement was extended, and Iran was asked to increase the capacity to 70 megawatts.
Five years later, when construction work in the deep-sea port of Gwadar gained momentum, 30 megawatts were added to the power supply and Iran has since been selling 100 megawatts to Pakistan to light up its coastal areas.
“Power shortfalls in Iran have led to load shedding in Gwadar, Turbat, and Makraan regions. These areas are not connected to the national grid and are dependant upon the Iranian power supply. -

Is Islamabad not reaping the benefits of AER in Sindh?
Islamabad’s competitive bidding process for renewable power projects—wind and solar—under category three has surprised Sindh’s Energy Department because only one project from a series of its ready projects has been picked up for the bidding. Since its 1875 MW wind and 1400 MW solar power generation projects are ready, Sindh feels the federal government is unable to tap the benefits for the country which it believes cannot afford expensive energy in the wake of the current national fiscal situation. In a letter to Khurram Dastagir, the Federal Minister for Energy, Imtiaz Shaikh, Sindh Minister for Energy writes that “the AEDB has picked and chosen 22 wind and 27 solar power projects from the list without mentioning any criteria. It is also surprising that only one solar project from 25 solar projects of the Government of Sindh has been chosen for competitive bidding.” The letter invites the attention of Mr. Dastagir on the AEDB’s recently issued letter No.B/3/1CBwind/17 dated 16th January in which AEDB has referred CCOE decision dated 4th April 2019 and CCl approved ARE Policy 2019 wherein category-Ill projects are allowed to go ahead, subject to be successful in the competitive bidding process to be undertaken by AEDB for each technology based on (i) the quantum ascertained by the IGCEP and (ii) confirmation of the interconnection ready zones (IRZs) by NTDCL. The IGCEP 2021 approved by NEPRA allocated a quantum of 1000 MW each for the induction of wind power capacity through competitive bidding by the year 2024. The category-Ill includes thirty-one (31) wind projects with a cumulative capacity of 2139 MW and sixty-nine (69) solar PV projects of 4193 MW. The AEDB has picked and chosen 22 wind and 27 solar power projects from the list without mentioning any criteria. It is also surprising that only one solar project from 25 solar projects of GOS has been chosen for competitive bidding.Furthermore; instead of taking a quantum of 1000 MW each for induction from which wind and solar as approved IGCEP 2021, only 322 MW capacity from wind and 392 MW capacity from solar has been proposed for procurement in upcoming competitive bidding without mentioning any clear criteria.It is an injustice that only a meager capacity is proposed to be procured from clean, cheap, and affordable energy resources which is one of the core initiatives of the current government to replace the expensive fuel plants.The letter writes that there is huge potential for Alternative and Renewable Energy Resources in Sindh Province. The Sindh government initiated 29 wind projects with a cumulative capacity of 1875 MW and 25 solar projects with a cumulative capacity of 1400 MW under category-Ill are waiting for competitive bidding for many years.Mentioning Variable RE locational study conducted by World Bank, the letter writes only minor upgradation or reinforcement and enhancement of transmission and distribution network in Sindh province will enable to evacuate 6,765 MW till 2025 and a further 10,035 MW till 2030 from wind and solar projects.Shaikh has written that it will be an injustice to Sindh province for ignoring its projects despite having huge potential and large numbers of valid LOIs holders in this competitive bidding. He has requested that a complete quantum of 1000 MW each for wind & solar projects as approved in IGCEP of 2021 may be considered for bidding and all wind and solar projects of GOS may be included for fair competition. I hope that our request will be considered and cheap and clean energy will be procured for the betterment of the country.

Characterization and Applications of Biopolymers
Biopolymers are organic materials made by the cells of living things. Biopolymers, like other polymers, are made up of monomeric units that are linked together through covalent bonds to form larger molecules. Polynucleotides, polypeptides, and polysaccharides are the three primary groups of biopolymers, which are categorized based on the monomers employed and the structure of the biopolymer generated. Long polymers of nucleotides, such as RNA and DNA, are known as nucleotides. Proteins and shorter polymers of amino acids are examples of polypeptides; collagen, actin, and fibrin are a few well-known ones. Starch, cellulose, and alginate are a few examples of polysaccharides, which are long or branched chains of sugar carbs.
There are numerous biophysical methods for figuring out sequence data. By hydrolyzing the N-terminal residues of the chain one at a time, derivatizing them, and then identifying them, Edman degradation can be used to determine the protein sequence. Techniques for mass spectrometers can also be applied. Both capillary electrophoresis and gel electrophoresis are methods for determining the sequence of nucleic acid. Finally, optical tweezers or atomic force microscopy are frequently used to assess the mechanical properties of these biopolymers. When triggered by pH, temperature, ionic strength, or other binding partners, these materials’ conformational changes or self-assembly can be seen using dual-polarization interferometry.
Due to their different uses in biomedicine and industry, biopolymers have two main application categories. Biopolymers are widely utilized in tissue engineering, medical devices, and the pharmaceutical industry because one of the key goals of biomedical engineering is to replicate biological parts to maintain normal bodily functions. Due to their mechanical properties, many biopolymers can be applied to regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and other medicinal applications. They offer qualities including non-toxicity, bio-activity catalysis, and wound healing. Many biopolymers are typically better at integrating into the body than synthetic polymers because they also have more complex structures that are similar to those of the human body. Synthetic polymers, on the other hand, can have a number of drawbacks like immunogenic rejection and toxicity after degradation.
In the food business, biopolymers are used for coating meals, edible encapsulation films, and packaging. The clear color and water resilience of polylactic acid (PLA) make it a particularly popular ingredient in the food sector. But because most polymers are hydrophilic, they begin to break down when they come into contact with moisture. Food-encapsulating edible films are another application for biopolymers. Antioxidants, enzymes, probiotics, minerals, and vitamins can all be contained in these films. These nutrients can be given to the body by the biopolymer film-coated food that is consumed. The three biopolymers polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), polylactic acid (PLA), and starch are most frequently utilized in packaging. Starch and PLA are frequently used for packaging since they are readily available on the market and biodegradable. Their thermal and barrier characteristics, however, are not optimal. Water can harm the contents of the package since hydrophilic polymers are not water resistant and allow water to pass through the packing. As a biopolymer with excellent barrier properties, polyglycolic acid (PGA) is now being employed to overcome the PLA and starch-related barrier challenges. Water filtration has been accomplished using chitosan. It is employed as a flocculant and degrades into the environment more quickly—within a few weeks or months—than over the course of many years. Chitosan uses chelation to clean water. This is how the metal in the water binds to binding sites along the polymer chain to generate chelates. It has been demonstrated that chitosan is a superb candidate for use in the treatment of storms and wastewater. -

Pakistan needs deeper industry-academia collaboration, says Sarmad Zia
‘IMS is striving to enhance the capabilities of our local vendors under the indigenous program so that the imported parts are replaced with locally made parts.’What is the importance of operations in engineering products? How do you run the show?
Operations is the backbone of any organization and their main role is to manage the daily activities of the organization seamlessly. Before Operations, I was leading the Project department and soon I realized, my strong interest in the technical side and my desire to handle the challenges related to design and operations. which led me to assume this office—Manager Operations. I realized that this was the domain where I found I can fit myself.
You are a foreign-educated Pakistani, would you like to tell us about your education and the experience that you brought here?
I did my engineering from the University of Manchester England and then my MBA from the same university. I worked in UK for 4 years and then moved to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and worked there for around 14 years. At a time (Approx 1.5 years back) many people were leaving Pakistan and we thought it was time to pay back to our country. Eventually, we returned to Pakistan. We resolved to impart the talent to those who could not travel abroad to acquire such knowledge and experience that we had.
You lived in England and Saudi Arabia where you had a professional atmosphere. What was the difference when you moved here and started working?
I think the buyer in KSA knows what he is buying and what is his motive. He knows he is buying a premium product and what benefits he is to reap. He is ready to pay for the quality as he is educated enough to know the meaning behind the price whereas his counterpart here in Pakistan has cost in mind. He eyes at a minimum cost no matter if the seller cannot offer you quality and after-sales service. In the case of IMS/Schneider, we sell premium products, and we know if the panel develops a fault it has to be hauled back and repaired. Also, we guarantee the parts availability for ten to twenty years. When the product is purchased from companies that you don’t know, one never knows if you will be able to have after-sales services.
What specific responsibilities do you fulfill as Manager of Operations at IMS Electric?
I look after the Production, Quality Assurance, Quality control, and Maintenance of the whole facility. Also, handle issues related to aftersales and warranty claims.
In the current national scenario, there are many issues including the supply chain. How has it affected your operations?
The top management has decided not to retrench the people. We are trying to make the best use of people’s capabilities so that we are able to work in those domains where we find obstacles. I have worth Rs.500 million orders on the shop floor, but unfortunately, parts are stuck at the port for a long period. Everyone is of course affected; our customers continuously contacting for the deliveries of their respective orders as they need to put their plant/machines into operation. We are trying our best to serve them as much as possible. But the industries which have their expansion plans have come to the halt.
While you share such a situation, we witness frequent exhibitions and the people exhibiting their products. Where is the balance?
It {the balance} does not exist at the moment. All exhibitors and assemblers have their parts stuck at the ports. We at IMS are striving to enhance/develop the capabilities of our local vendors under the indigenous program so that the imported parts are replaced with locally made parts. We are deeply involved in the development of local vendor processes. Besides sharing the cost, we are sending them our modules and manpower to develop and grow their expertise.
If the imports are allowed in Pakistan, what do you think, how much time would take to respond to the orders?
We are always told that you will get the supplies very soon but I don’t see this happening so soon. Sharing my backlog with you, it will take around four months to complete it.
Does academia meet your expectations in terms of providing you with the engineer that you require?
There is a gap for sure. Fresh engineers do not fully meet the requirements of the local industry. The industry is far more advanced and it then passes the graduates through its training programs like we at IMS do. IMS is not only providing the training platform to engineers but to diploma holders (DAE) as well. For engineering, we have a one-year training program. Currently Five engineers and approx. 20 technicians who are being trained in various skills.
Since you have studied abroad, how did you see this collaboration in the process there?
It was deep there, In UK OEMs and Universities have much closer relations. OEMs invest heavily in university infrastructures and laboratories; they offer funded scholarships for research programs. Unfortunately, we do not witness such a kind of collaboration in Pakistan. -
