Table A-5 Details <strong>of</strong> parameters and calculation method for landfill process<br />

Parameter Calculation<br />

RW4 The residue wastes <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustrial wastes which are burnt <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>dustrial <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration<br />

(<strong>in</strong>dustrial estate) are disposed at landfills. The assumption is 20% <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustrial wastes<br />

(1,602,973 tonnes) is disposed at landfills.<br />

II1 Accord<strong>in</strong>g to the Geocycle company presentation (2012), Geocycle company prepared<br />

100,000 tonnes/year <strong>of</strong> RDF for the two cement plants <strong>of</strong> Siam City Cement company<br />

(SCC). This amount <strong>of</strong> RDF is made from landfill excavation. There was 12% <strong>of</strong> plastic<br />

waste <strong>in</strong> the municipal solid wastes <strong>in</strong> 2010 (PCD, 2010). Thus, the composition <strong>of</strong> plastic<br />

waste <strong>in</strong> RDF is 12,000 tonnes/two plants/year.<br />

Accord<strong>in</strong>g to the Department <strong>of</strong> Industrial Work (DIW) report (2011), there were five<br />

cement plants <strong>in</strong> <strong>Thailand</strong> which use solid wastes as fuels. These five plants are from Siam<br />

City Cement company (SCC), Siam Cement Group (SCG), and TPI Polene company. The<br />

assumption was 5 cement plants <strong>in</strong> <strong>Thailand</strong> use the landfilled waste as fuels.<br />

The amount <strong>of</strong> landfilled waste used <strong>in</strong> cement factories was calculated by us<strong>in</strong>g the amount<br />

<strong>of</strong> RDF per plant multiply<strong>in</strong>g by the numbers <strong>of</strong> cement plants that used RDF <strong>in</strong> the<br />

<strong>in</strong>dustrial <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration.<br />

PO 1 There are 7 oil recovery plants which are observed and presented on the website. These<br />

seven plants use plastic wastes from landfill excavation. They are <strong>in</strong> Samutprakan, Hau-H<strong>in</strong>,<br />

Ubonrachathani, Rayong, Pitsanulok, Kh<strong>in</strong> Khaen, and Sa Kaeo prov<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>in</strong> <strong>Thailand</strong>.<br />

Accord<strong>in</strong>g to S<strong>in</strong>gle Po<strong>in</strong>t Energy Eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g company (SPEE) and the field observation,<br />

the amount <strong>of</strong> landfilled plastic waste feed<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the pyrolysis reactor is 6 tonnes/plant/day.<br />

The calculation <strong>of</strong> this flow was done by multiply<strong>in</strong>g the referent capacity <strong>of</strong> oil recovery<br />

plant by the numbers <strong>of</strong> oil recovery plants.<br />

Stock 6 The amount <strong>of</strong> stock means that amounts <strong>of</strong> plastic waste disposal and residue wastes from<br />

<strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration, recycl<strong>in</strong>g and oil recovery are stocked <strong>in</strong> landfill. This amount was calculated<br />

automatically by STAN s<strong>of</strong>tware.<br />

Industrial <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration<br />

This process <strong>in</strong>cludes landfilled wastes for <strong>in</strong>dustrial <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration, especially <strong>in</strong> the cement<br />

factory, and there is also <strong>of</strong>f-gas which is the output <strong>of</strong> process.<br />
