Organic waste treatment
KMUTT Cafeteria, tons of food are wasted including raw meat, vegetable peelings, bones and shells and leftovers dish. All of them are produced approximately 140 kg of food waste/day. Hence, KMUTT set up waste utilization program in organic waste to produced biogas by using food wastes from food center and canteen in the campus. The amount of 100 kg of food waste/day produce around 10 m3/day of biogas. This biogas is used for cooking and boiling water at canteen. Beside, there are also the by-product which is soil conditioner or fertilizer. These waste utilization activities reduce around 20% of total municipal solid waste and make high benefits from waste to energy and waste to organic farm in the campus
In 2022, 22% of organic waste are treated within our university. In 2022 KMUTT generated organic waste within our university 181,789 kg. or 44.42 % of total Municipal solid waste which compost of 50,597 kg of food waste, 130,789 kg of leaves, garden waste. The 36,000 kg. of food waste go to waste utilization process-From Waste to Energy using Anaerobic Digester for Biogas production and get fertilizer within 24 hours /batch . The 3,984 kg of garden waste go to Waste Utilizing Center to make fertilizer. The remaining 141,402 kg of food scraps and leaf scraps are sent to government agencies because the space within the university is not enough to process the remaining organic waste. The results from organic waste treatment are biogas 3,600 m3/year and 12,264 kg /year of fertilizer as by products from biogas production; 18,000 liters /year of Liquid Fertilizer from Waste Utilizing Center . Moreover, KMUTT could reduce carbon emission to 794,048.7 kg/year CO2-e and save more than 2,785.69 USD/year according to waste management cost, LPG expenditure and fertilizer cost.

Bang Ka Chao Subdistrict Development Project (U2T) by Asst. Prof. Dr. Penchan Mekwijitsaeng
Bang Kachao Subdistrict consists of 9 villages with a population of 1,869 households and 5,104 people. Based on the 5 dimensions of basic needs (health, well-being, education, income, access to government services), it was found that sub-districts had the greatest need for health improvement. This may be due to the survey being in the state of the COVID-19 epidemic causing the public toin need of health services
KMUTT’s knowledge used in the project is the application of spirulina in raising lobster fry and raising chickens to produce omega-fat. and the use of DHA-producing microorganisms for omega-fat production in chicken farming Performance is as follows.
– Shrimp nursery in cages Spirulina powder is used to mix food. Contributes to helping shrimp fry and stay healthy. when released into the garden (1 project participant’s garden in the area, which is a garden that does not use pesticides. resulting in a good weight of shrimp production However, monitoring of shrimp growth has not yet been carried out due to the open conditions of the area. Effect damage chance (so shrimp is high from natural enemies)
– Chicken farming (at Bang Kachao Farm) has mixed algae 10 in the feed. Test results. Nutrients in eggs from hens aged 33 days found that omega 3-6 fats increased by 10.48%. While normal eggs provide only 8.48 percent of fat and the amount of DHA is not different.
– Chicken raising (at Wat Rat Rangsan School) mixed with microorganisms Aurantiochytium sp. in feed (produced from Sor Bor. Laboratory) for raising chickens in 2 age groups: 1) old hens (3 years old) and 2) normal hens aged 1-1.5 years. received 0.03 and 0.06 g/body/day of microorganisms The number of laying hens increased from 50% to 80% and 90%, respectively, and the egg weight increased from 47.6 g to 56.04 and 59.7 g, respectively for old hens fed 0.2 g/bird. /day for 20 days, eggs were given omega 3-6 fat at 9.29%, which was higher than the hens that did not get it (8.09%).
For the second phase, the production of omega eggs will be expanded into egg powder or rice powder. (may be mixed with local vegetables, spinach) In addition, the community is interested in making liver from (because the area does not have Must buy from Phra Samut Chedi side) Processing into sugar (Prototype of sugar production from Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, G value of sugar from < 30 is a health food group) and water tourism to watch fireflies.
