Wastewater Management

The Company regularly conducts inspections and maintenance of its water pumps in the hospital’s wastewater tank, and chlorine is continually added to kill germs in the well. Samples of wastewater are also collected on a monthly basis before being released into the BMA’s combined wastewater treatment pipes and treated at the central wastewater treatment system in Din Daeng District. The operation is the result of a joint meeting with the BMA and has received approval on both the design and installation by BMA officials and a study tour by the relevant hospital’s department. Monitoring is conducted on a monthly basis by requesting relevant documents from the BMA, which is considered to mitigate the risk of failure of the wastewater treatment system.

Reducing Water Consumption

The Company is gradually installing sensor faucets in the hospital’s common bathrooms in order to reduce water wastage from leaving the faucet on during the customers’ activities and water conservation Campaigns.

The company has implemented measures to reduce electricity consumption by replacing the light bulbs within the building. This includes the replacement of 108 light bulbs in the conference rooms, changing from incandescent PAR38 120W E27 bulbs to LED PAR38 20W E27 bulbs. This change results in significant energy savings, reducing electricity usage by 15,552 kWh/year, which translates to a cost savings of 66,873 Baht/year. Additionally, 200 light bulbs in the common area restrooms were replaced, changing from 10W LED bulbs to 7.5W E27 LED bulbs. This resulted in an energy reduction of 21,155.40 kWh/year, with a savings of 90,968.22 Baht/year. Overall, these actions have led to a total reduction of 36,707.40 kWh/year in electricity usage, resulting in a total cost savings of 157,841.22 Baht/year.

In order to reduce the energy consumption of water pumps during peak hours, the Company has changed the operating hours of Buildings 2, 3, and 4 water pumps to be between 18.00 and 22.00. The effort has reduced electricity consumption by 101,835 kilowatt-hours/year, or 491,863 baht per year. The aforementioned actions are continuous form the year 2023.

As the hospital has 3 cooling towers and 3 chillers, it managed to reduce the energy consumption of the cooling towers and chillers by turning them off (1 each) between the hours of 18.00 and 06.00 due to the low usage without affecting the buildings’ cooling system. The effort has reduced electricity consumption by 353,320 kilowatt-hours/year, or 1,706,536 baht per year. The aforementioned actions are continuous form the year 2023.

Efforts to reduce energy consumption during peak hours of the chilled water pump, in which the hospital has a total of 3 machines, have resulted in turning off 1 unit between 18.00 and 06.00 due to the reduced use without affecting the cooling system. The effort has reduced electricity consumption by 43,800 kilowatt-hours/year, or equivalent to 211,554 baht per year. The aforementioned actions are continuous form the year 2023.
