LPIPT deals with manufacturing and distribution of electric power. The production plant was founded in Saraburi, Thailand in 2009. The company currently employs 627 people and operates three waste heat recovery power plants, two RDF power plants which amounts to a total capacity of 150 MW. Two more plants are in the process of construction.
LPIPT currently operates waste-to-energy power plants in Saraburi, Thailand. For this project, our company has initiated the sorting process of residual waste, including municipal solid waste (MSW), landfills and non-hazardous industrial waste to be transformed as refuse derived fuel (RDF) production. With the help of BMH Technology, waste to electricity solution for processing a variety of wastes, from Finland, we are able to produce RDF with a capacity of 2,500 tons per day, which can be used as renewable energy for electricity generation of our 2 RDF power plants with the sizes of 20 Megawatt and 60 Megawatt respectively. The demand for using RDF power for electricity generation is approximately 1,550 tons per day and our company has another 70-megawatt RDF power plant under construction. Besides, this new plant is planned to supply power to the system for commercial operation date (COD) by January 2017. Thus, our company needs to increase capacity of RDF production to support RDF power plant in the following year.
We also have three similar RDF production projects in Chonburi, Nakhon Ratchasima and Ubon Ratchathani. These three projects will also produce RDF as fuel to supply RDF power plants in Saraburi. The launch of this project will be beneficial for the company, society, and the nation as a whole. The main advantage of these projects to the company is that we can reduce the use and cost of the imported fossil fuels. The energy produced from MSW and landfills will be beneficial to the community, environment, and the country, as it helps to reduce the amount of municipal waste. Usually, it must be treated by means of a landfill, which cause a number of issues, such as air pollution, odor, contamination of groundwater, and emissions of greenhouse gases. The projects will not only reduce the use of landfill space, but also promote energy conservation in the electricity generation of the country. Moreover, it will increase the employment rate in the community nearby the plants. The projects could expand to other provinces in the region because the amount of waste is increasing every year due to population growth and economic development.
The RDF production projects in Chonburi, Nakhon Ratchasima and Ubon Ratchathani were initiated with the aim to solve the problems of waste management in addition to conserve energy, reduce environmental impacts, and reduce the consumption and import of fossil fuels such as natural gas and coal, as detailed below.
Waste is a significant problem in many countries around the world. Thailand, as a developing country, is also facing an increasing trend of waste throughout the last decades. In 2013, Thailand generated about 26.77 million tons of waste, but only 7.2 million tons were managed properly. A million tons of waste were left and none of the existing practices were effectively performed; only 5.1 million tons of waste from the remaining could be recycled. This problem has an impact on the environment and human health, especially in major tourist cities or the area where the factory is located. Due to the waste management problem, the Pollution Control Department (PCD) of Thailand is to submit waste management for the formulation of the national agenda. These four RDF production projects are in line with government policies as one of the practices of converting waste into renewable energy sources. We consider these projects to be important because tons of waste can be separated and converted into fuel efficiently by using modern equipment according to advanced engineering principles. Furthermore, they do not affect the environment. Each project can eliminate municipal solid waste (MSW) and landfills up to 320 tons per day, and produce RDF as fuel with a capacity of 100 tons/day.
The use of renewable energy for electricity generation
Currently, Thailand has to import more than 55 percent of petroleum out of the overall demand and it is increasing steadily. The natural gas, which is the primary fuel for electricity generation, has to be imported almost in 60 percent out of overall demand. Thailand needs up to 5,000 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, but can supply only about 3,000 million cubic feet/day. The amount 2,000 million cubic feet of natural gas has to be imported from overseas. RDF production from MSW and landfills is able to convert waste to energy for electricity generation in a sustainable manner. To sum up, the total capacity of all of four RDF production projects is 400 tons/day that can be used as fuel for electricity up to 100 Megawatt.
