Study about Greenhouse gases emission from Phuket Sewage Treatment Plant in Thailand
Destination and period: Thailand, 28 Jul-10 Aug, 2013
As FOLENS overseas field study, I visited various environment-related sites and learned the issues, solutions, measures and efforts in Thailand. After the group field study, I moved to Hanoi, Vietnam to visit my family and investigate the environment issue in my village. By participating in the Thailand oversea training, I have many good friends. They come from different countries (Thailand, Japan, China, Malaysia, Mongolia, and Cambodia) with profound knowledge about environment. They are helpful for my research and my future job. This field trip also broadens my knowledge about the environment, the efficiency solutions and measures in Thailand (Incineration, Wastewater Treatment Plant, Landfill, Rice Paddy Field, Bio Fuel, Biodiesel Synthesis, and Recycling Plant). Another benefit of this trip is to improve my communication (in English and Thai language) skill, practicing skill in the field. Besides, I have learnt a lot about the culture, food, people, and history of Thailand. I also have been to several beautiful and famous places in Thailand. For my specific research, I take and analyze 6 gas samples to identify the concentration of CO2 and CH4 emission from Phuket Sewage Treatment Plant under the instruction of Professor Lek (from Kasetsart University). It took about 4 days for collecting the samples and 3 days for analysis. The results showed that CO2 concentration was higher than CH4 concentration, and the greenhouse gas concentration was different in different reactors (reactor 1 and reactor 3).
Key words: Greenhouse Gas Emission, Domestic Sewage Treatment Plant, Waste Water Treatment Plant
