The covered anaerobic digesters can hold up to 40,000 cubic metres of palm oil mill effluent (POME). The methane emissions are captured by heavy duty plastic sheeting and piped to the biogas power plant. After treatment in the digesters, water is returned to the existing pond system to be used for irrigation of the company’s plantations and nurseries.

Siam Biogas Opening

On 16th February 2008, Univanich Chairman Mr Apirag Vanich officially opened the completed biogas projects. In addition to the renewable energy source, the Siam and Lamthap projects are expected to produce revenue from Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) incentive under the United Nations protocol on climate change.

Univanich Palm Oil PCL has been a pioneer of the oil palm industry in Thailand since the company’s first plantations were established back in 1969. Today, Univanich is Thailand’s leading producer of crude palm oils and high quality oil palm seeds.
