ESBEC Facilities
Modern Sanitary LandfillThe ESBEC landfill provides the highest standards in landfill waste disposal. The landfill's total capacity is 2.4 million tons, and the site can accept up to 2,000 tons of waste per day. Please click on the image to the right for a full ESBEC site plan. ESBEC can receive the following refuse:
Leachate Treatment Facility
Engineered Wetlands
King Rama IX of Thailand actively supports the Engineered Wetlands processs. Flare Station
To minimize odor and other environmental risks associated with landfill gases, WMS designs its operating procedures in accordance with local and US-EPA standards. Monitoring wells
Recycling Facility
Our recycling facility operates with all appropriate permits, and is compliant with all local and international standards including ISO 14000. Weigh Bridge & Wheel Wash
Closed circuit television cameras monitor the weigh bridge 24 hours a day to ensure our workers' safety and to ensure proper record keeping. This video documentation is also available to customers who would like an additional destruction records.

Proper treatment of leachate (waste water produced at the bottom of the landfill) is a crucial process in maintaining a safe and sanitary landfill. Located at the bottom of the landfill, the leachate collection system pumps leachate from inside the landfill to our onsite treatment facility. The facility, which also provides liquid waste treatment services, can handle up to 350 cubic meters of total waste water per day. The facility uses Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) technology with pre and post treatment (Dissolve Air Flotation and Physical & Chemical Treatment). The facility also uses Dissolve Air Flotation (DAF) technology to minimize chemicals and keep the process as natural as possible.
As a final step to waste water treatment, Engineered Wetlands naturally rid the processed waste water of any remaining harmful bacteria or other solids. The treated waste is then released. WMS site designers created the wetlands with a protective base to guard the surrounding environment. As additional protection, a wetland monitoring system ensures that the water discharged from the wetlands exceeds the acceptable environmental standards for public waterways.
Landfill gas, which is 50% CO2 and 50% CH4 saturated with moisture, releases an unpleasant odor at all landfills. Moreover, the landfill by-products are greenhouse gases that deplete the earth's ozone. All landfill operators should be neutralizing these harmful gases, however, few do. Unlike most other Thai landfill operators, WMS collects, contains, and treats the landfill gas in a professional manner at an on-site flare station. As the volume of gas continues to grow, WMS will consider constructing a commercially viable electric generation station.
WMS has positioned six wells in the upper, middle, and lower ground water streams surrounding the landfill. Quarterly monitoring of these wells allows WMS to evaluate the status of the waste inside the landfill. In the unlikely case that the landfill begins leaking by-products into the ground water, WMS site engineers could quickly take action. The results from the quarterly reports are included in the environmental report to the government. This report also includes data on the site's air quality, dust, noise, and surface water.
WMS can handle all of your recycling needs at ESBEC. Our proven processes and technology recovers recyclable materials such as glass, paper, metals, plastics and other materials. Unlike many roadside recyclers who place their residue in open dumps or municipal facilities, WMS properly disposes of recycling residue.
Every transportation vehicle that enters or leaves the site is weighed to ensure that the amount of waste treated is consistent with our customers' record. This procedure allows WMS to provide accurate invoices and full documentation to every customer.
As a part of the WMS's effort to keep debris and bad odors from polluting the local community, all transportation vehicles exiting the site must wash their wheels.
