香港工程師學會創意獎2022獲獎作品簡介

組別I —發明

得獎者：馮憲平教授、工程師

獲獎作品：直接熱充電電池轉化廢熱為電能

低溫廢熱存在於環境、初級能源轉化以至人體之中，但現時轉化低溫廢熱的技術一般面對成本高昂、複雜或效率太低等問題。馮憲平教授、工程師領導的團隊，研發了「直接熱充電電池」，能把低溫廢熱轉化為電力。

「直接熱充電電池」的原理是使用不對稱電極，以氧化石墨烯/鉑金納米顆粒為陰極，聚苯胺為陽極，在鐵二價離子與鐵三價離子的電解液中恆溫加熱，電池可自行充電及發電。電池單一元件的熱電轉換效率超過3.5％，即有效把3.5%的廢熱轉化成電能，較現時技術的少於1%顯著提高，每個元件體積約為1.5平方厘米，厚度僅1至1.5毫米，體積輕薄、成本廉宜、技術簡單，而且電池可以撓曲，為熱電轉化電池帶來根本性的改變。

馮教授、工程師相信，低溫廢熱是一種被忽視的可再生能源，隨著技術的突破，有助提升能源效益以及減少碳排放，對社會及經濟帶來莫大益處。

馮教授、工程師現時為香港城市大學先進設計與系統工程系教授。加入學術界前，曾於台灣積體電路製造公司和健鼎科技任職。通過成立初創公司，此發明正從學術研究向實際應用邁進。

組別II — 創新應用

得獎者：何冠豪工程師、馮偉堅工程師、黃振才工程師及郭紹延工程師

獲獎作品：轉體式建橋法

香港城市發展密度高，要在已發展的城市地區興建新的基礎設施，有時面臨不少挑戰。何冠豪工程師、馮偉堅工程師、黃振才工程師及郭紹延工程師的團隊，首度在港應用轉體式建橋法，在元朗Yoho Hub建造一條行車及一條行人天橋。

相關天橋座落於輕鐵電纜上方，周圍被主要交通幹道圍繞，連接位置亦十分接近元朗西鐵站的路軌，這些限制均增添工程難度。團隊參考街市常用的「秤」，兩座鋼結構橋樑均在南面地盤樓頂位置裝嵌建造，借助重達1,300噸的鋼坯作為「秤砣」，橋樑圍繞轉盤旋轉180度，直接越過輕軌鐵路及交通主幹道，最終分別下降到元朗站和北面站台，並使用新物料，降低轉動時所產生的摩擦阻力。

團隊僅用了四個午夜，便完成兩座天橋橫跨輕鐵路軌部分的工程。這種嶄新的橋樑施工方法，把對鐵路營運和道路使用者造成的干擾大幅降低，並使建築工人能夠在較低的高度進行所有鋼結構的裝嵌，提高施工安全。

本年度，學會亦同時頒發優異獎予參與組別I的王予紅工程師（獲獎作品：瀝青材料的微觀結構及其對瀝青工程特性影響的突破性研究進展）。

香港工程師學會創意獎 (青年會員組) 2022獲獎作品簡介

組別I —發明

得獎者：周柏康先生及吳展鴻先生

獲獎作品：為香港醫療系統開發智能鍋爐清潔及檢測機械人

新型冠狀病毒疫情當前，保護工作人員和病人免受傳染病的感染至關重要。周柏康先生及吳展鴻先生的團隊研發「智能鍋爐清潔及檢測機械人」，結合了人工智能、電腦視覺與模式識別技術，整個智能系統提高了鍋爐效率和可用性，以滿足醫院的供暖、洗衣和消毒需求。

疫情期間，工作人員不分晝夜以鍋爐高溫消毒手術器具、衣物等，以維持正常運作。工作人員需定期維修、保養、清潔及檢討運作流程，令醫院使用鍋爐消毒更具效率，但疫情導致住院病人急增、人手緊張，加上工作環境高溫潮濕，有時更需高空工作，同時工作具備一定重複性、勞工密集，衍生出以機械人取代人手的需求。此系統能減輕人手工作，並有效地識別與管道缺陷有關的圖像資訊，以便作出預測性維護。團隊曾實地考察，並向前線工作人員了解實質運作流程，確保機械人能滿足營運需要。

周先生及吳先生現職於機電工程署衞生工程部，與香港科技園公司創業培育計劃的初創企業合作研發此項發明，系統的設計已獲專利保護，除醫療行業外，亦可應用在酒店、食品和成衣工業。

組別II — 創新應用

得獎者：梁婉婷女士

獲獎作品：小鐵牛 – 遙控清潔濕井水底機器車

污水處理是城市可持續發展的重要一環。梁婉婷女士應用了聲納影像及定位技術，研發了命名為「小鐵牛」的遙控清潔濕井水底機器車，以取代現行以工作人員進入污水濕井進行清淤的密閉空間工作。

污水處理廠內的濕井是住宅、商業和工業污水的第一個接收點，日積月累之下，井底累積不同類型的沉積物，有時甚至已經硬化，難於清理。傳統的清淤工作，須由具備核准工人資格的工作人員進入濕井內進行。濕井屬於密閉空間，在內工作會有一定的安全風險，加上清淤工作只可於污水流量較低的時段進行，因此清淤效率低且成本高昂，若不處理沉積物，會對下游泵水系統的機件造成損耗，增加維修成本及降低泵水系統的效率。

梁女士檢視現時的運作模式，在渠務署灣仔東基本污水處理廠一個濕井實地試用機械人，證實能清理硬化的沉積物及監察井內環境，試用機械人後，灣仔東基本污水處理廠的維修時間亦明顯減少。此項創新發明不但能提高污水處理廠的運作效率及節省維修成本，更大大提升了有關工作的職業健康和安全水平。

梁女士現時任職渠務署機電工程師，期望可將該項發明進一步推展至其他類似環境的渠務署設施及水下工程中使用。

學會亦同時頒發優異獎予組別I的梁子超先生（獲獎作品：衛星一號：除泡機械人），以及組別II的葉讚鋒先生及洪信謙先生的團隊（獲獎作品：非接觸式震動測量方案於發電廠設備的應用）。

創新思維是推動社會進步的力量，學會期望各得獎者可運用創科力量，持續為香港的發展作出貢獻。

The HKIE Innovation Awards  (Young Member Group) 2022

Awarded Projects of The HKIE Innovation Awards 2022

Category I - An Invention

Awardee: Ir Prof Feng Shien Ping

Submission: Direct Thermal Charging Cell for Waste Heat to Electricity Conversion

Waste heat is abundantly available in the environment, conversion of primary energy and even in human body. Existing technology to convert low-grade heat to electricity is expensive, complicated or low in efficiency. The team led by Ir Prof Feng Shien Ping invented the Direct Thermal Charging Cell, which may be the key to unlock the potential of heat-to-electricity conversion.

This new electrochemical system uses asymmetric electrodes of graphene oxide (GO)/Pt nanoparticles cathode and polyaniline anode in aqueous Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ redox electrolyte for the efficient conversion of low-grade heat to electricity, which is self-regenerated. The cell has a heat-to-electricity efficiency of 3.5%, surpassing the 1% of existing technology in low grade heat regime. Each basic unit sized only 1.5 cm² and thickness 1 to 1.5 mm and it is low cost, bendable and technically simple, bringing a fundamental change to the heat-to-electricity conversion.

Ir Prof Feng believes low-grade heat is a source of renewable energy that being overlooked. It will be a promising opportunity to hike up energy efficiency and cut carbon emission, which will bring tangible economic and environmental benefits to the society.

Ir Prof Feng is a Professor of Advanced Design and Systems Engineering at City University of Hong Kong. Before entering academia, he was working at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Tripod Technology Corporation. By establishing startup company and collaborating with industries, the invention is moving from academic research toward real applications.

Category II - An Innovative Application of Engineering Theories

Awardees: Ir Ho Koon Ho, Ir Fung Wai Kin, Ir Wong Chun Choi and Ir Kwok Siu Yin

Submission: Rotational Bridge Launching Method at “The Yoho Hub”

Hong Kong has a high intensity of urban development.  Engineers often face challenge to develop new infrastructure with urban area. The team of Ir Ho Koon Ho, Ir Fung Wai Kin, Ir Wong Chun Choi and Ir Kwok Siu Yin launched a footbridge and a vehicular bridge with the rotational bridge launching method, which is the first project in Hong Kong using such method.

The two bridges located on top of existing Yuen Long Light Rail railway tracks and several major trunk roads at Yuen Long with extremely high traffic volume. It is close to the West Rail Yuen Long Station which makes the construction more complicated. Inspired by the old market “scales”, with aid of the 1300-ton steel billets acting as counterweight (秤砣), the bridges were rotated 180° about a turntable directly over the Light Rail and trunk road, and finally lowered onto Yuen Long Station and the Northern podium respectively. A new material was used to tremendously reduce the frictional resistance.

In just 4 midnights, the team completed the constructions of two bridges across the Light Rail. This innovative bridge construction method kept the risks of disturbances to the railway operations and road users in the smallest possible way, and also enabled the workers to perform all steel erections at a much lower elevation.

Besides, the Award of Merit of Category I went to Ir Prof Wang Yuhong (Submission: A breakthrough in discovering the fundamental structure of bitumen and determining its impacts on bitumen's engineering properties).

Awarded Projects of The HKIE Innovation Awards (Young Member Group) 2022

Category I - An Invention

Awardees: Mr Chow Pak Hong and Mr Ng Chin Hung

Submission: Smart Boiler Cleaning & Inspection Robot for Healthcare System in Hong Kong

Protecting the well-being of hospital staff and patients against contracting infectious diseases in hospitals is critical in the current COVID-19 episode. Mr Chow Pak Hong and Mr Ng Chin Hung have developed the Smart Boiler Cleaning and Inspection Robot, integrating artificial intelligence with computer vision and pattern recognition. This invention helps maximise boiler plant efficiency and availability to meet heating, laundry and sterilisation needs of the hospital.

During COVID-19 pandemic, the steam boiler system operated around the clock to sterilise surgical tools and healthcare linen to maintain the normal operation of hospitals. Staff need to carry out regular maintenance of fire tubes, cleaning and flaws inspection to enhance efficiency.  However, the pandemic leads to the shortage of manpower and surge of inpatients, with the nature of working at height and a relative hot humid working environment, repetitive work pattern and labour intensive, developing the needs of using robots to replace manpower. The System reduces manual effort and effectively discerns useful graphs related to flaws on tube to achieve predictive maintenance. The team investigated the site constraints and maintenance workflow to ensure the robot can meet the operational needs.

Mr Chow and Mr Ng currently work at the Health Sector Division of the EMSD, whom collaborated with a technology startup of Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks' Incubation Programme for this invention. Other than medical sector, it can also be adopted in hotel, food and garment industry. The design of the system has already obtained patent protection.

Category II - An Innovative Application of Engineering Theories

Awardee: Ms Leung Yuen Ting

Submission: The Mini Bull – Remotely Operated Underwater Wet Wells Cleaning Vehicle

Sewage treatment plays a vital role in sustainable urban development. Ms Leung Yuen Ting developed a remotely operated underwater wet wells cleaning vehicle named the 'Mini Bull'. Overcoming challenges in the corrosive and almost invisible sewage environment, it can replace certified workers to perform confined space cleaning works in wet wells.

Residential, commercial and industrial sewages are first collected at the wet well of sewage treatment plants. Due to the nature of its application, the bottom of the wet well is often accumulated with sediments which would in turn adversely affect the downstream pumping systems. Wet well cleaning is therefore an essential maintenance work in sewage treatment. Conventionally, wet well cleaning is carried out by certified workers in confined spaces and under low sewage flow condition. These conditions make the cleaning works extremely dangerous, costly and inefficient. Without effective wet well cleaning, the sediment accumulation at the bottom would adversely affect downstream pumping systems, increase corrective maintenance cost and decrease pumping system availability.

Ms Leung reviewed existing maintenance practice and carried out on-site trials at the wet well of Wan Chai East Preliminary Treatment Works (PTW). It is proven that the Mini Bull can overcome the invisible environment under sewage to perform cleaning of hardened sediments and condition monitoring in wet wells. An over one-month man-entry cleaning works at a wet well could be shortened to complete within one day and with a lower cost. It also greatly reduces the need for pump maintenance in the PTW. This invention not only enhances operational efficiency and saves maintenance costs, but also considerably improves the occupational health and safety level of underwater works.

Ms Leung is now working as an Electrical and Mechanical Engineer in Drainage Services Department and the invention would be applied at other similar sewage treatment facilities and underwater works with similar conditions.

Besides, the Award of Merit (Category I) went to Mr Leung Tsz Chiu with his submission of Satellite No.1 - Foam Removal Robot, and the Award of Merit (Category II) went to Mr Ip Tsan Fung and Mr Hung Shun Him with the submission of Contactless Vibration Measurement Solution for Power Plant Equipment.

Innovation drives the development and progression of the society. The Institution hopes awardees can make good use of their power of innovation to contribute to Hong Kong's future development.

(Hong Kong, 5 May 2022) The Chief Executive candidate Mr Lee Ka Chiu John launched his election manifesto on 29 April 2022, covering various engineering-related areas.  The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) welcomes the manifesto and agrees that the Administration may consider pursuing relevant measures to outline the blueprint of the future Hong Kong.

Housing issues have persisted in Hong Kong for years. The HKIE envisioned that the multi-pronged approach as suggested in the manifesto, such as expediting the implementation of Lantau Tomorrow Vision (LTV) and the Northern Metropolis to boost land supply could be adopted to help alleviate the situation. The Northern Metropolis, being adjacent to Shenzhen, can be a new engine for Hong Kong’s development. These two mega projects will create more residential space and optimise urban planning.

The HKIE agrees the establishment of task force and steering committee to review and supervise public housing development and land supply. The HKIE hopes that relevant bureaux and departments could study the feasibility and timetable for the advocations of streamlining procedures, advancing allocation of public rental housing, as well as re-introducing and enhancing the Private Sector Participation Scheme, in order to achieve the objective of improving "speed, efficiency and volume" in land and housing supply.

With a vision to enhance Hong Kong’s competitiveness, the HKIE has long been calling for re-industrialisation of the city and has made multiple suggestions to develop value-adding projects for the industry, promote the development of innovation and technology, seize the abundant I&T opportunities in the Greater Bay Area, and create more high-value careers. In terms of education, the HKIE will continue to promote vocational and professional education as well as popularise STEAM education, nurturing the innovative thinking of the new generation.

The Institution is pleased to offer our professional views whenever needed to help improve the future of Hong Kong. With the "result-oriented" strategy, the engineering sector shall join hands with the Administration to contribute to the long-term development of Hong Kong and start a new chapter together.

(Hong Kong, 24 February 2022) The Financial Secretary delivered the 2022-23 Budget on 23 February 2022.  The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) is glad to learn that the Administration has embraced HKIE’s proposals and outlined in its Budget for 2022-23 the initiatives for enhancing Hong Kong’s economic resilience and investing for the future.   The HKIE would like to give our response to the Budget as follows:

Infrastructure and Land Supply

The Institution is pleased to note that the Administration is dedicated to the planning for the long-term development of the city.  Not only will it set aside HK$100 billion from the cumulative return of the Future Fund under the Capital Works Reserve Fund to expedite the implementation of infrastructure works relating to land, housing and transportation within the Northern Metropolis to facilitate Hong Kong’s integration into the overall development of the Country, it is also formulating development plans for San Tin Technopole, Lo Wu/Man Kam To Comprehensive Development Node, Ma Tso Lung, as well as Lau Fau Shan, Tsim Bei Tsui and Pak Nai, in the next two to three years.  The intention of streamlining the procedures to advancing the development timetable of the Lantau Tomorrow Vision (LTV) and the plan to explore different approaches and financing options for the LTV also give hope to expediting the project programme.

The Administration is taking an infrastructure-led and capacity building planning approach to drive land development of the city.  The HKIE is pleased to see the Administration actively conducting studies to strike a balance between building infrastructures that cater for the overall long‑term development needs of Hong Kong while ensuring that a safe, reliable, environmentally friendly and efficient traffic and transport system will be installed.

Time is of essence in alleviating Hong Kong’s land and housing shortage.  The HKIE is delighted to see the Administration’s determination to encourage the use of advance construction technologies to achieve higher efficiency and cost-effectiveness in construction.  We welcome the Administration’s introduction of concessionary measures to encourage the adoption of new construction technologies such as the Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) method to shorten construction time, address the problem of manpower shortage in the industry, and reduce environmental impacts brought by construction works.  The injection of another HK$1.2 billion to the Construction Innovation and Technology Fund (CITF) and HK$30 million to promote applied research and development (R&D) as well as adoption of new materials and innovative construction technologies will definitely have a positive impact on the overall productivity and performance of the construction industry, and in turn benefit the progress of land and housing supply.

Streamlining Submission and Approval Process

As the HKIE has been urging the Administration to streamline development processes and statutory procedures to shorten the time for land creation, we are pleased by the Administration’s plan to introduce amendment bills into the Legislative Council within this year with a view to advancing various reclamation works, New Development Area (NDA) projects, and public and private housing projects as early as possible.

Nurturing Talent Successors

With the foreseeable manpower demand associated with various infrastructure development projects, the engineering and construction sectors see the need to nurture talents at all levels for the industry.  The HKIE is delighted that the Administration is committed to promoting the professional image and career prospects of the industry to attract young talent of the future.

While acknowledging the Administration’s efforts in encouraging young people to join the industry and in upskilling in-service practitioners, the Institution is of the view that a more comprehensive planning on through-the-train training from secondary to tertiary levels should now be conducted.

Supporting Start-ups and Local Enterprises

The HKIE welcomes the allocation of HK$10 billion to the Hong Kong Growth Portfolio under the Future Fund, of which half will be used to set up the Strategic Tech Fund to nurture relatively mature enterprises with good potential for contribution to Hong Kong’s economy.  The Institution is looking forward to seeing more funding support to encourage I&T talents starting their businesses. 

I&T Development and Pooling I&T Talent

The 14th Five-Year Plan has provided a clear direction for positioning Hong Kong as an international I&T hub.  The HKIE welcomes the measure to allocate additional resources to keep reinforcing Hong Kong’s value chain and I&T ecosystem.

Digitalisation is the key to enhancing efficiency and promoting innovation.  The Institution looks forward to the setting up of the “Digital Economy Development Committee” that will accelerate the progress of digital economy.

The Technology Start-up Support Scheme for Universities has been supporting universities in setting up their own start-ups and commercialising their R&D results. The doubling of the subsidy to HK$16 million will create greater economic value from I&T development.  Meanwhile, the increase of subsidy to State Key Laboratories and Branches of Chinese National Engineering Research Centres in Hong Kong is expected to result in more quality R&D activities, local and overseas talent and extended cooperation and exchanges with institutions in the Mainland.  

The HKIE is pleased to learn of the Administration’s decision to promote life and health technology by earmarking HK$10 billion to provide more comprehensive support in the long run, including hardware, research talent, clinical trials and data application to enable institutions, including universities, to enhance their capacity and capability in this area, and to strengthen the industrial chain.  The setting up of the InnoLife Healthtech Hub in Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park will uplift R&D and global research collaboration in the field of life and health sciences.  It is hoped that the engineering sector can both contribute to and benefit from the opportunities arising from the areas such as big data and artificial intelligence, and support Hong Kong’s development into a major R&D hub in the development of health care technologies.

The HKIE is pleased that the Administration is considering rolling out measures to facilitate the entry of internationally renowned I&T scholars and their teams into Hong Kong to conduct research and teaching activities.  The Institution also welcomes the expansion of the scope of professions under the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme to attract professionals from different sectors to work in Hong Kong.

Building a Smart, Green and Resilient City

The Institution is delighted that an additional funding of HK$200 million will be injected into the Green Tech Fund (GTF) to further promote decarbonisation, subsidising primarily projects in net-zero electricity generation, energy saving and green buildings, green transport and waste reduction.  To enable more I&T talents to benefit from the scheme, the HKIE suggests the Administration to consider lowering the threshold for the applicants.

We are also pleased to note the Administration’s response to our proposal to continue and expand the Home Subsidy Scheme by injecting an additional HK$1.5 billion to encourage the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to achieve the decarbonisation target.  The HKIE looks forward to the upgrading of half of all eligible parking spaces in Hong Kong’s existing private residential buildings with EV charging-enabling infrastructure.  For the conversion of existing petrol or liquefied petroleum gas filling stations into quick charging stations, the HKIE is ready to contribute our expertise to the Administration’s study on the “single site, multiple use” model.

Being smart, green and resilient are the essentials of a liveable city.  The Institution noted various initiatives announced such as enhancing the capability of low-lying areas to withstand threats, strategic studies on coastal management, drainage improvement works, harbourfront enhancement, development of cultural facilities and heritage conservation, and will continue to work with the Administration to achieve the goal of creating a sustainable environment for Hong Kong.

The HKIE welcomes the opportunity to provide our expertise and work with the Administration for devising measures to address the current problems and plan for Hong Kong’s future development.
