Background
Thai Kraft Paper Industry Company Ltd.'s Wang Sala mill was founded in 1989. The mill and plant are located in Thamuang, Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand.[1]
In 1996, the company built a new cogeneration power plant unit for the mill. The company's turnkey contract was for a 149-MWt coal-fired Ahlstrom Pyroflow circulating fluidized bed boiler and a Siemens 34-MWe steam turbine (turbine #14).[1] The mill already appeared to have a 26.2 MW unit[2] (turbine #5), and potentially a 21.7 MW unit (turbine #6).[3]
In 2018, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited's annual report noted that Siam Kraft Industry's Wangsala Plant was awarded a "Coal Management” award organized by the Department of Mineral Fuels, Ministry of Energy.[4] SCG has also reportedly been taking measures to reduce its coal use.[5] The Company’s main energy costs include coal and biomass used for coal-fired power plants that transmit electricity and steam for the Company’s production processes.[6]
SCG Packaging Public Company Limited's 2024 Annual Report stated that woody biomass was used as an alternative fuel. An anaerobic wastewater treatment system was also installed at the Kanchanaburi power station. The system produced biogas to be co-fired with coal.[7]
