Introduction
Thailand’s industrial sector — particularly textile, food processing, and automotive manufacturing — generates significant volumes of wastewater requiring effective chemical treatment. The Pollution Control Department (PCD) enforces effluent standards under the Factory Act B.E. 2535 and Notification of the Ministry of Industry on Industrial Effluent Standards. HydroChemix supplies Thai clients with PAC and PAM backed by fast ASEAN-region shipping.
Thailand’s Industrial Effluent Standards
Key discharge parameters under the Industrial Effluent Standard:
- pH: 5.5-9.0
- BOD: <20-60 mg/L (depending on receiving water)
- COD: <120-400 mg/L
- TSS: <50-150 mg/L
- Heavy metals: specific limits per metal type
Key Industries and Treatment Solutions
1. Textile and Garment Industry
Thailand is a major textile exporter with production concentrated in Samut Prakan, Bangkok, and the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). Textile mills face strict color and COD discharge limits. Our PAC 30% achieves 90-99% color removal at 300-600 mg/L dosage for reactive, disperse, and vat dyes. Combined with cationic PAM for sludge dewatering, mills can meet PCD standards consistently.
2. Food Processing
Thailand is the world’s largest exporter of canned tuna, pineapple, and shrimp. Food processing plants in Samut Sakhon, Songkhla, and Chonburi generate high-BOD, high-TSS wastewater. Our PAC + anionic PAM program achieves 85-95% TSS removal in primary treatment, reducing organic load on secondary biological treatment by 30-50%.
3. Automotive and Metal Finishing
The EEC (Chonburi, Rayong, Chachoengsao) hosts Thailand’s automotive hub. Metal finishing and electroplating operations require heavy metal precipitation and removal. PAC with PAM provides effective treatment for metal hydroxide flocculation and separation.
