Table A-4 Details <strong>of</strong> parameters and calculation method for municipal <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration<br />

process<br />

Parameter Calculation<br />

MI See the details <strong>in</strong> Table A-3<br />

OG1 Accord<strong>in</strong>g to Phuket waste <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration report (2006), the amount <strong>of</strong> ash generation from the<br />

<strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>erator was 15%-20% <strong>of</strong> waste feed<strong>in</strong>g. The assumption was 80% <strong>of</strong> plastic waste which<br />

is burnt <strong>in</strong> municipal <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration will become <strong>of</strong>f-gas.<br />

RW1 Accord<strong>in</strong>g to Phuket waste <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration report (2006), the amount <strong>of</strong> ash generation from the<br />

<strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>erator was 15%-20% <strong>of</strong> waste feed<strong>in</strong>g. The assumption was 20% <strong>of</strong> plastic waste which<br />

is burnt <strong>in</strong> municipal <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration will become ash.<br />

Landfill<br />

This process consists <strong>of</strong> plastic wastes which are disposed at landfill, landfilled waste<br />

combustion <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustries, and landfill excavation for oil recovery plants. The residue<br />

wastes from recycl<strong>in</strong>g, municipal <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration, and oil recovery are also disposed and<br />

stocked <strong>in</strong> this process.<br />

RW2 The residue waste from material recycl<strong>in</strong>g means that plastic wastes from collection and<br />

transportation process cannot recycled <strong>in</strong>to plastic pellets (pelletiz<strong>in</strong>g) and become wastes<br />

after manufactur<strong>in</strong>g. Accord<strong>in</strong>g to the case study <strong>of</strong> pelletiz<strong>in</strong>g factory <strong>in</strong> <strong>Thailand</strong>, 14% <strong>of</strong><br />

waste generation from material recycl<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the manufacture. The amount <strong>of</strong> residue waste<br />

from recycl<strong>in</strong>g process was calculated by us<strong>in</strong>g the referent percentage multiply<strong>in</strong>g by the<br />

amount <strong>of</strong> plastic wastes for recycl<strong>in</strong>g (R).<br />

RW3 From the Hua-H<strong>in</strong> municipality presentation, 20% <strong>of</strong> residue wastes was produced from<br />

100% <strong>of</strong> plastic waste feed<strong>in</strong>g. The assumption <strong>of</strong> this flow was all oil recovery plants <strong>in</strong> the<br />

municipalities and private companies have the same production capacity. The calculation <strong>of</strong><br />

amount <strong>of</strong> residue waste from oil recovery plant (plastic to oil) was done by multiply<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

referent percentage by all amounts <strong>of</strong> plastic wastes for oil recovery (PO 1 and PO 2).<br />
