The certified company selected to handle the chemical waste
(Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon, Thailand)
Description:
As explained in the total volume of toxic waste treated, toxic waste, for instance, electronic equipment, laboratory chemicals, and batteries at RMUTP were treated in certain ways. Particularly, the waste from laboratory chemicals was treated mostly by classifying and handing it over to a certified company (Recycle Engineering Co.,Ltd.). The treatment for this issue was considered as 12.30%. Meanwhile, the waste from electronic equipment and batteries was collected and treated by the city treatment center, but unfortunately the management of such waste is still done without process tracking. The university expects to manange this issue in the near future.
Sewage disposal
Preliminary sewage treatment (Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon, Thailand)
Description:
Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon has had concerns with the surrounding environment affecting the condition of students’ and staff’s well-being across all the campuses. Sewage disposal management for all campuses is one of several activities that the university has paid attention to. The majority of the wastewater produced is wastewater discharged from the building’s restrooms, facilities for kitchen work practicum, and cafeteria eateries. As for the amount of oil stains, grease, and contaminated food scraps, most of them came from the restaurants of the cafeteria operators. On this issue, the university has a preliminary but organized treatment system for disposing of wastewater, such as (1) rotating disc wastewater disposal, (2) aerated wastewater disposal, and (3) grease traps and food waste filters. However, the treatment after our preliminary process was heavily relied on the public sewage system of the city.
