Rimmer Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Koh Larn studies navy’s trash-processing method Koh Larn:--Koh Larn officials may adopt a method used by the Royal Thai Navy to help resolve the island’s trash crisis. Island headsman Booncherd Boonying led a group to the Sattahip Naval Base Sept. 14 to meet with naval officers and representatives from Smart Grand Corp., which created the base’s so-called “Nawiknakhon 4.0” system. The system employs natural biological treatment in which waste is naturally dissolved, eliminating the need for a large, expensive trash-processing facility. There are seven steps in the system, which include separation, locating piles of rubbish, checking the process, checking the temperature, turning over rubbish, getting rid of waste and then separating again. Byproducts of the process is the creation of refuse-derived fuel and creation of fertilizer.

eliotness Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Domestic waste in Thailand seems to consist mainly of plastics and is very different from waste from naval vessels. Having done a survey of waste at UK naval bases I speak from experience. This method requires too much work and management to be applicable for the island. Waste minimisation is far more useful, e.g. being an island banning all non-recyclable plastics would be a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an abundance of low cost labour that can be used to sort the waste....loads of prisoners,military recruits,volunteers and unemployed looking for work.

sensei Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Koh Larn is such a lovely spot off the coast of Pattaya. I hope the garbage of the mainland doesn't spoil this island. The good: Lovely white sand beaches So close to the mainland THB30 ferry ride Complaints: Barge-loads of tourists Expensive showers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 They should study how they do it in Bang Saray; only two steps there - first, on a windy day wait till everyone's washing is out drying; finally set fire to diesel soaked piles and hope the fire brigade are busy elsewhere.
