Air Quality Monitoring

WHA Group has always attached great importance to the environment. We are committed to developing, monitoring, inspecting, and preventing and mitigating environmental impacts. Therefore, we have installed air quality monitoring stations (AQMS) in our industrial estates across Thailand.

There are currently 7 AQMS stations installed to monitor air quality in the WHA ESIE 1, WHA ESIE 2, WHA CIE 2, WHA ESIE 4, WHA ESIE 3, WHA Rayong 36 industrial estates, and WHA Nghe An Industrial Zone in Vietnam. These stations can automatically and continuously monitor and display measurement results covering various indices such as total suspended particulates (TSP), particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM-10), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). They also monitor meteorological data such as wind speed and wind direction.

The company displays the data from the system to inform the community and stakeholders of the air quality in the atmosphere around the industrial estate in a timely manner via the company's website

Since 2023, WHA has developed the UOC (Unified Operation Center) system, which is a central control system that collects, integrates, and displays data from monitoring systems in the company's projects and operating areas, such as air quality monitoring stations (AQMS) and wastewater quality monitoring stations (WQMS).

The UOC system was established to support real-time monitoring of various statuses in the service area. This allows for the transparent display of environmental performance data and supports compliance with government regulations requiring the disclosure of monitoring results to the public.

Environmental Monitoring and Control Center of Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate (Rayong) was established by Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) in collaboration with WHA Industrial Development Public Company Limited Group, to monitor the environmental quality in 11 industrial estates:

Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate (Rayong)

WHA Chonburi Industrial Estate 1

WHA Chonburi Industrial Estate 2

WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 1

WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 2

WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 3 - WHA ESIE 3

WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 4

WHA Eastern Industrial Estate (Map Ta Phut)

WHA Rayong Industrial Land - WHA RIL

WHA Saraburi Industrial Land - WHA SIL

WHA Rayong 36 Industrial Estate.

By doing so, it seeks to ensure high-standard environmental management by the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) and WHA Industrial Development Public Company Limited Group, ultimately benefiting surrounding communities. Additionally, it promotes best practices in environmental management for industrial estates, fostering a foundation of environmental good governance.

Environmental Monitoring and Control Center of Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate (Rayong) focuses on the following components:

1. Realtime wastewater quality monitoring system (WQMS)

which measures pH, BOD and TDS values in treated wastewater holding pond of the industrial estates before the treated wastewater is reused as reclaimed water or discharged into natural water source. If any of the measurements are not in line with the standards, an automated SMS will be sent to related agencies for immediate response. In addition, data collection for information retrieval is possible.

2. Reports of environmental quality indicators

which include ambient air quality indicators, such as SO₂, NO₂, TSP, noise pollution, and surface water quality in the areas adjacent to water discharge areas of the industrial estates.

3. List of operators/factories

which are required to comply with requirements and regulations, such as quality of air emission, wastewater treatment facilities, EIA compliance, risk analysis and boiler and steam generator inspection, and is crucial for the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand to ensure effective monitoring and assessment.

4. Compliant Center

which serves as a channel for filing environmental complaints. Complaints can be filed via a call center at the telephone number 038- 954-543 or website using a registered account. Staff will log the complaint and notify responsible persons for action. The status of the complaint, such as in progress or completed, is also displayed. If the complaint reported is not related to by WHA Group and the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand, staff will coordinate with relevant agencies for further action. The outcome will also be communicated through our website: https://envi.wha-industrialestate.com/

While WHA Industrial Development (WHA ID) has thrived over the past 20 years, developing over 11 industrial estates across 68,100 rais (26,925 acres), environmental protection and social responsibility remain core values. This commitment is evident in WHA Group's collaboration with the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT). This partnership led to the implementation of a "constructed wetland" system at Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate (Rayong) and WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate. This innovative method utilizes vegetation to treat wastewater, proving more effective, environmentally friendly, and energy-saving compared to traditional treatment methods. This initiative exemplifies WHA Group's dedication to fostering sustainable practices within its industrial estates.
