Plant/Process Description:
Advance Agro treats Waste water using complete
mixed activated sludge process (biological
treatment), the process is compatible with
Scandinavian standards in the different stages of
treatment:
Preliminary water treatment:
All wastewater flows through thru an automatic
step screen to separate larger material such as
pieces of woods and garbage. Secondly, the
screened water flows to a clarifier and then to
mixing pond in order to adjust pH to be fit for
bacteria. The temperature is adjusted before
entering the biological treatment by cooling
towers and Nutrients are added such as Urea and
Phosphate for the bacteria.
Activated sludge system:
The water from the pre-treatment is delivered to
air accumulation pond (16,000 m3) with underwater
air-transfer machines (aerators 12m deep) to
increase oxygen amount sutable for the consistent
growth of bacteria to the level that can digest
contaminated substances in water until all
degradable organic matter in the wastewater is
consumed. Then, the processed water overflows to a
sedimentation tank (clarifier) to separate biomass
from the water and produce clean water which has
BOD and COD levels compatible with the standards
regulated by the Department of Industrial Works in
Thailand.
The Advance Agro facilities where constructed in
steps during 1996 - 1998 and consists of 2 water
treatment plants with a capacity of 40,000 m3/d
each (totally 80,000 m3/d = 14,676 USG/minute) and
3 identical effluent treatment plants with a
capacity of 24,000 m3/d each (totally 70,000 m3/d
= 12,841 USG/minute).
These facilites service a pulp and paper mill
complex as well as an Industrial Park with 30+
factories as well as a number of housing estates.
The emmision standards are as strict in Thailand
as anywhere else in the world and are followed
strictly by our operations using European
technology.
Treated water is reused without harming the
environment:
All water after treatment meeting with the
standard will not be delivered to the public
reservoirs, but Advance Agro brings the treated
water to its pond in order to be used for
plantation (Pulp & Paper mill raw material)
watering around the factory. The plantation area
is about 8,000 rai with mini-sprinkler fixed to 12
mm-centered watering which gives optimal growth
rate of the planted trees.
Moreover, Advance Agro uses this treated water to
supply water to our yard in the factory and we
have a project to offer this water for all
factories in the 304 industrial zone nearby to
decrease the usage of tap water which is
expensive.
