• Improved water supply lines and leak points to reduce the amount of water lost in the system.
• No external water supply is utilized.

 
2.1) Wastewater Management

       Due to the fact that some of the processed water cannot be reused in the process of Reject RO to be water supply (Grade B Water Supply). This water will be separated into wastewater wells for biogas production or as renewable electricity to be used in the manufacturing process or to be taken into the final treatment process, which contains high minerals for watering the gardens of the surrounding farmers who require water during the dry season. The Company has projects for biogas production technology and wastewater management for energy and environmental conservation, as well as a pipeline project for water that has passed the treatment process to animal feed development stations and farmers around the establishment to manage the Company’s water and wastewater.

1. Project : Biogas Production Technology and Waste Water Management for the Preservation of Energy and Environment

       The company’s business operation involves employing CPO crushing mills and refinery plants. The company has comprehensive ranges of industrial agricultural business, with more than 39 years of business operation. And for a very long time, the major and recurring issue in the company business operation has always been waste water management. Polluted water resulting from the manufacturing process can cause serious environmental harms, generate health and hygiene pollutions such as bad odors and insect infestation. These can directly affect the surrounding communities and the production of the company as well as contribute or even exacerbate global warming situation as a result of the greenhouse gas emissions entailed in the production processes.

       The company aware of the environment and the use of natural resources to their maximum advantage and continue to focus our attention on environmental conservation and make sure that they remain in good conditions well into the future. In accordance with policies as determined by the Ministry of Industry, the company has set up biogas system which is an anaerobic waste water management system in our continued effort to conserve energy and preserve the environment. The biogas resulted from the waste water management process will be reused as a renewable source of energy in the production system of the company’s refinery plants. The construction to expand and modify the production system was first initiated in 2006 with phase 2 of the modification completed in 2014. This is to ensure that the production cycle of the company’s business operation can handle waste water resulted from production process as efficiently and as effectively as possible.

       Project Objectives and Goals for this project, It is to include biogas technology fermentation tank A+CSTRth (Appropriate + Completely Stirred Tank Reactor, Thailand) and other related components to handle waste water from Palm Oil production process. It is also to produce biogas as another source of renewable energy and to reduce pollution caused by waste water and waste water treatment system of the plants. In general, the company’s objectives for biogas technology application in waste water management shall be elaborated as follows.

1. To install biogas system with A+CSTRth and A+HCSRth fermentation tanks along with other applicable equipment in a water treatment system for waste water derived from fresh oil palm production which can reach up to 2,160 tons per day.
2. To produce and use Biogas products of 40,000 cubic meters. 60% of Methane gas derived can be used as biomass renewable energy as well.
3. To produce electricity and distribute them. The approximate quantity required per day is 3.36 Mkh.
4. To produce quality dry organic fertilizer for approximately 35 tons per day. The humidity of the produce shall range between 70-80%. They are to be used to improve soil materials components as chemicals-free fertilizer for Oil Palm plants within the company’s plantations
5. To produce water-based fertilizer of approximately 600-700 m3/day. They shall subsequently be used as fertilizer for the company’s agricultural products.
6. To send treated and purified water to Animal Food Development Station.
7. To reduce pollution problems especially those relating to odors, insect infestation and to ensure the commitment of the company to environmental conservation.

       Biogas technology is used in the company’s waste water management in palm oil production. Biogas fermentation tank technology, A + CSTRth (Completely Stirred Tank Reactor + Appropriate, Thailand), and A + UASBth (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket, Thailand), A + HCSRth (Appropriate High Sludge Concentration, Reactor + Thailand), is the main water treatment technology which does not involve air as the main component to digest organic matters found in the contaminated water with high concentration of suspended matter and COD. With bacteria that can digest organic matter without air, the organic compounds with be transformed into biogas components which can then be collected and reused as another source of renewable energy within the production plant.

       Waste water that has been treated via fermentation tanks from A+CSTRth, A+UASBth, and A+HCSRth values with reduced dirt in the form of COD for approximately 90 %. For sewage sludge from fermentation tanks, it is to be sent to filter out solid organic waste and can then be used as organic fertilizer. Treated water that goes through the filter will be passed over to even more advanced treatment system-in open pond system-in order to achieve proper quality of water that can be used as water-based fertilizer in future planting.

       Benefits for Surrounding Communities : The Biogas technology employed can help lowering insect infestation and other problems between communities with factories. The quality of life and mental health of the community shall be improved as well and possible contamination natural water sources can be minimized, if not entirely eradicated.

Wastewater Management Statistics	Units	2023	2024	2025

Manufactured for electrical power	Mkh.	11,404	8,232	9,760

Remark: The amount of wastewater discharged from the system in 2025 will be additional than what is needed due to the increased volume of fresh palm fruit entering the system.

2. The Waste Water Treatment Pipelines Project, sending to Animal Foods and Agriculture Center Project and palm plantations of farmers who live around the factory

       This project is a corporative attempt between three authorities, which are Chumporn Palm Oil Industry Public Company Limited, Animal Food and Agriculture Development Center, Chumporn Province and palm plantations of farmers who live around the factory. To send waste water that has gone through a final waste water treatment and filled with mineral nutrients to water Napier grass fields in Animal Food Development Station of Chumporn Province as animal food and as renewable energy and to send waste water that has gone through a final wastewater treatment to oil palm plantations of the farmers who live around the factory. This shall reduce the production costs because the reduced use of chemical fertilizer and also help alleviating water shortage problems.

       Routes for Pipelines Distributing Cleaned Waste Water : The water pipes for water undergone the water therapy and the product after the biogas production systems will be sent to Animal food Development Station of 2.8 km distance and the water can be released into the oil palm plantation of the farmers in the area. This is an alternative to chemicals-based fertilizer. The pipelines end at Animal Food Development Station. The water send in the pipelines will be kept in 25 m3 in 2 tanks and will be used by the center to water napier grass which is a high quality food source for animals, both in terms of productivity and nutrients it provide. Additionally, the napier grass can be used to produce energy as well. It is considered a type of biomass. The grass is high in organic fiber and humidity. It can be used to produce energy by burning after initial humidity reduction process. It can also be fermented to produce biogas or Methane gas.

       In addition, the water that has gone through therapy is also released into Angola grass fields within the center. Angola grass is a main food source for cattle. At the present, it is relatively rare and can be very expensive because the relevant government agencies have not been encouraging farmers to grow them continuously and systematically.

At present, the company still sends treated water to the Animal Food Development Station of Chumporn Province and palm plantation in Kantasaphr Village, Mhu 2, Tambol Salui, Amphur Ta-sae and palm plantations of farmers who live around the factory. This service we provide to the surrounding community has continued to receive good response because our water management process does not harm but greatly benefit the daily life of the people within the community.

       The company is still committed to conduct business while paying close attention to the importance to the environment. Corporate social responsibility will continue to be our long-termed goals which allow for sustainable development and peaceful community forever.Benefits to the Environment : The technology helps with maintaining environmental quality by reducing air pollution in soil and in water and also limit water contamination problems to nature and the technology helps with the reduction of methane bass emissions to the atmosphere that is among the main contributing factors to global warming by using them as renewable energy sources.

4) Information on greenhouse gas management

 Managing to reduce problems of greenhouse gases

       The Company pays attention to management to reduce greenhouse gas problems caused by various activities within the factory with the management to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as follows:

1. Using wastewater from the production process in the factory to produce biogas for use as biofuel, which is used in oil refineries and to generate electricity for use in palm oil extraction plants; the remainder is sold to the Provincial Electricity Authority.
2. The flue gas emitted by the generator is recovered as heat energy for the 10-bar boiler for use in the palm kernel oil production process.
3. Implementation of energy management practices, for instance, when light bulbs need to be changed, they are replaced with a type of light bulb that is more efficient and saves electricity; having an annual cleaning of the air conditioner to make the air conditioner work at full efficiency; conducting a shutdown to save energy at least 4 times a year or put a pause to the machines to accumulate raw materials in order to operate the machine at full efficiency, etc.
4. The Company practices energy management measures, such as measures to reduce electricity consumption by improving air conditioning in factories and upgrading the insulation of the fresh fruit palm steamer system to reduce heat loss in the production process.

 

5) Roundtable on Sustainable palm oil (RSPO)

       Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a sustainable palm oil production standard that is environmentally friendly and responsible for the community. Due to the global demand for palm oil which results in a continuous expansion of the palm plantation area, this activity has an impact on the society, environment, and local community. From the pressure of the consumers, the palm oil industry has come up with a sustainable palm oil production initiative to support the growth and sustainable use of palm oil produced from upstream to downstream.

There are seven established criteria for palm plantations according to the RSPO standard as follows;

1. Ethical and transparency: driving ethical business practices with transparency, building trust with stakeholders to establish sound and stable relationships.
2. Act legally and respect rights: use legal requirements as a fundamental principle of control actions.
3. Increase production efficiency, effectiveness, positive impacts, and flexibility. Carry out the operation according to the plan, procedures, and systems for continuous improvement.
4. Respect communities and human rights and deliver benefits: respect community rights, give equal opportunity to all, maximize the benefits of participation and ensure remedies are compensated when necessary.
5. Support smallholder groups: include smallholder farmers in the RSPO supply chain and improve smallholder livelihoods through fair and transparent partnerships.
6. Respect workers’ rights and conditions: protect workers’ rights and ensure safe and suitable working conditions.
7. Protect, conserve and strengthen the ecosystem and environment: protect the environment, conserve biodiversity, and manage natural resources sustainably.

       Each principle has its own criteria, indicators, and guidelines to apply for a certification for sustainable palm oil production.

       The Company realizes the importance of society, community, and environment. Therefore, the practices have been adjusted at every step from upstream to downstream to meet the requirements and criteria of the RSPO and are submitted for Sustainable Palm Oil Production (RSPO) certification until the Company has received RSPO Certification since year 2019 as follows;

• RSPO Principles and Criteria (Generic version 2018) for its scope concerning : Plantation and Palm Oil Mill : Production of FFB, Crude Palm Oil Module: Identity Preserved and Mass Balance.
• RSPO Supply Chain Certification Standard (version 01/02/2020) for Refinery & Frationation : Module Identity Preserved, Segregated and Mass Balance, and Crushing Mill (CPKO) : Module Mass Balance.

 

6) CPI Learning Center

       To be successful in a palm plantation, good management is considered very important no less than selecting good varieties of the palm trees. The company aims, therefore, that farmers can manage their plantation knowingly and effectively. This is the very reason why in 2013, we established “CPI Learning Center” to help local farmers to learn more and comprehensively about palm oil production. The materials provided at the Center include publications, academic papers both by the company’s research and from acquired experience from working in the industry for more than 40 years in more than 20,000 acres of oil palm plantation. The Learning Center is located in Amphoe Ta-SAE of Chumphon province and it consists of a learning center building. Pathways that visitors can take to observe a variety of oil palm trees. At the center, we also exhibit common barn owls. The center has been opened from 2014 onwards. The services provided are free of charge.

       Target : To encourage farmers or those interested in palm planting to have knowledge and understanding in caring for palm plantations in order to obtain good yields and a high percentage of oil.

7) Using Common Barn Owl to eliminate rat in palm plantations Project

       The company gives priority to the environment by providing a using common barn owl to eliminate rat in palm plantation project. This is to reduce the damage caused by a collapse on insects and pests population control without using chemicals, which would affect the ecological system. This project will help reduce the cost of using chemical substances and shall cause farmers to pay attention to and care more towards the natural, chemicals-free approach in dealing with pests and infestation. The company provides training courses for anyone who is interested from 2014 onwards.

       Common Barn Owl is one of the local birds of Thailand. They are in every region throughout the country. They are nocturnal and often live near a human community. Normally, they use niche in a building, a nook or a roof space as their nests. Their preying behavior includes catching preys in the open spaces like pasture fields, farm or especially in oil palm plantations. The mating period is often during the month of September to February. The number of eggs in each nests 5-7 eggs. The hatching takes about 30 days to hatch. Every day, the birds will incubate the laid eggs for 18 hours. During this time, male bird will be the one preying and bring in foods to the nests for both the mother and baby birds every day.

       From our study of the birds’ spew around the nests, we found that common barn owl living in oil palm plantation areas often take wild rats as their favorite food source to almost 100%. From this discovery, we then calculate that the birds can eat on average 1-2 rats of wild rat a year (or 350-700 rats). This large number of rats within plantation, if left alone, will induce loss to the palm production of more that 1.1-2.5 tons per acres, which amounts to Baht 5,500-12,500 per acre per year (Fresh Oil Palm Fruits Branch at Baht 5 per kg.) At the same time, farmers will have to pay for chemicals and other pests repellent products which will increase the production cost for more than Baht 700-1,400 per acre per year.
