Award-Winning Projects: Efficiency and Value Creation
The TJDA recognized two specific initiatives that demonstrate CKPower’s technical and social impact:
- Waste and Wastewater Management (Golden Award): This project at the Bangpa-in Cogeneration Power Plant optimizes water and lubricating oil usage. By enhancing cooling tower efficiency through chemical control adjustments, the plant has:
- Reduced water consumption by over 743 million liters.
- Achieved cost savings of more than THB 19.5 million.
- Cut lubricating oil usage by over 28,000 liters, saving an additional THB 2.6 million.
- Prevented approximately 95,000 kg CO₂e in greenhouse gas emissions.
- Waste to Value – Hinghoi (Silver Award): Located at the Xayaburi Hydroelectric Power Plant, this initiative transforms food waste into soil conditioners. The project has:
- Produced 2,665 kilograms of soil improver annually for local distribution.
- Reduced carbon emissions from waste burning by over 3,840 kg CO₂e.
- Lowered local community fertilizer expenses by more than THB 72,900 per year.
