Abstract:
Sawmill in Thailand produces a large quantity of wood residues. These residues, if efficiently used for fuel, can provide more energy than required by the sawmill. For case study, the Forest Industry Organization is selected. The mill utilizes some of the wood residues for fuel; the energy obtained, which is accounted for 60 percent of the total energy requirement, appears as process heat and mechanical work. The other 40 percent is in the from of electricity and is purchased at about 6,440,000 Bahts/year. An alternative process, based on the concept of cogeneration is proposed to use efficiently all the residues as fuel. With this alternative, the mill is energy self-sufficient. An economic analysis indicates that the alternative process yields a saving of 36.4 million Bahts and the pay-back period is less than 2 years
