Sustainable Water Management Guidelines
GGC has guidelines for water resource management in place within the organization, according to the 3Rs principle of reduce, reuse, and recycle wastewater through the treatment process.
In addition, GGC cooperates with external agencies, such as PTT Group, Water War Room Working Group and the Federation of Thai Industries, on water management during situations of drought and closely monitor the water situation. This ensures that there is enough water to run the business without affecting the surrounding communities in these situations.
Cooling Tower Water Circulation Project
GGC increases its efficiency in reusing wastewater that has undergone treatment processes by increasing the water circulation cycle used in the cooling tower from three cycles to five cycles and reducing the backwash time from 15 minutes in 5 hours to 10 minutes in 4 hours. As a result, GGC is able to reduce water usage by 23,917 cubic meters and reduce costs by more than 598,164 THB.
