Low water consumption (dry process)

      The company uses a special dry process in making wood chips. It does not use the traditional practice of immersing wood to the water in order to peel off the bark.

Lowest water consumption for pulp bleaching process

      With the use of modern technology, the company uses only 6-7 cubic meter per ton of pulp in its bleaching process compared to other factories who usually consumes over a hefty 60 cubic meter per ton of pulp.

Bleaching system with ECF

      The Company uses the latest bleaching process that is Elementary Chlorine Free (ECF). The method is said to be Chlorine gas free and does not produce dioxin which is said to be harmful to the environment.

Waste Utilization

      Wood bark, chips, used water with Lignin, and sludge is utilized as fuel to produce steam/energy. The produced electricity is supplied through the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand under the Small Power Producing project (SPP).This helps to reduce import petrol around 200 million litres per year. Likewise, the Carbon Dioxide from the Power and Recovery Plant is transformed into PCC or Precipitated Calcium Carbonate which is used as an ingredient in producing quality (bright) paper.

Recycling system for chemical substances

      In order to generate electricity from the used water, reagents from the previous processes are recycled. Likewise, Calcium Carbonate is added and used (produces limestone) to the reaction.

Quality of Air

      The foul smell produced during the boiling process is eliminated by immersing limestone in the Recovery Boiler. Likewise, Pulp Mill 2 uses a burning process called “Quench System” wherein the smoke is transformed into Methanol (a kind of fuel). In case the Quench System is not available, the company uses the “Flare System” as an alternative option. In addition, the “Electro Static Precipitator” (ESP) decimates 99% of the dust and provides efficient 24 hour operation.

Quality of Noise

      The noise produced in the Wood Chip Plant (60 decibels) is lower than the normal rate set by the Industrial Ministry. With this, the site is said to be employee/community friendly.
