Thesis ; no. EV-07-46 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Environmental Engineering and Management Thesis (M.Eng.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2007 The research work was aimed at proposing a 3R programme at AIT to solve the current solid waste problems. The solid waste audit conducted in AIT showed that 700 tons/year of solid waste was generated and the per capita of solid waste was about 0.5 kg/day. The percentage composition of organic and inorganic solid waste was 60% and 40% respectively. The audit study also showed that 93% of the solid waste in AIT is disposed in the landfill, 4% of solid waste is recycled and 3% of solid waste is gardening waste that is composted inside the AIT campus. The chemical analysis of the solid waste at AIT showed that the carbon and nitrogen content of the waste were very high, but due to a low C/N ratio, the solid waste cannot be composted and used in the production of manure. The moisture content of the wastes was also as high as 68% that shows a high rate of organic degradation of the solid waste at AIT. Thus, the calorific value of the solid waste at AIT was also as high as 16.39 MJ/kg. The high calorific value of the solid waste at AIT indicated that the solid waste was suitable for use as RDF. The study of the formal and informal sectors in the Tha Kong Municipality showed that the amount of solid waste recycled was 44% and the amount of solid waste disposed in the landfill was 56%. The BCA showed that there was a benefit in the recycling activities in the Tha Kong Municipality. However, the BCA showed that there was no benefit in the recycling activities in AIT. The physical analysis of the solid waste showed that 25.1% of the total solid waste generated was plastic, which showed that there is a lack of awareness in solid waste management at AIT. Hence, awareness programmes in solid waste management are necessary at AIT Refuse and refuse disposal Asian Institute of Technology Visvanathan, C., Chairperson Preeda Pakpian, Examination Committee Nazhad, Mousa M., Examination Committee Thammarat Koottatep, Examination Committee AIT Fellowship, Scholarship Donor Asian Institute of Technology.
