The aim of experiment was to study the pyrolysis oil derived from sorted landfill plastic waste that had been buried for 15 years by the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization. The pyrolysis oil was produced using a Fixed-Bed Reactor at 450 °C for 1.5 hours with LPG as the feedstock, with the goal of using the pyrolysis oil as an alternative fuel. The experiment was conducted under four different conditions : (1) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has not been washed but has been reduced in size, (2) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has been washed and has been reduced in size, (3) plastic waste buried in a landfill that not has been washed and has not been reduced in size, (4) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has not been washed and has been reduced size, with activated carbon used as a catalyst. The experiment revealed that three products were produced : Oil, gas, and char in different quantity. The pyrolysis oil were compared in terms of quality based on pH, Heating value, Moisture content, Functional group, and Chemical Composition. The pyrolysis oil we obtained will be referenced according to the criteria from the Department of Energy Business. The analysis results of the pyrolysis can explain which conditions are suitable for replacing fuel oil in industrial It is therefore one of the approaches that helps manage plastic waste in landfills, reducing the quantity by converting it into usable energy.

Diabetes is a significant global health issue, particularly due to complications related to diabetic wounds. Studies indicate that approximately 15-25% of diabetic patients develop foot ulcers, with more than 50% of severe cases leading to amputation. This results in a substantial decline in the quality of life for patients. Current treatments for diabetic wounds face challenges such as antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections and delayed wound healing, highlighting the need for innovative solutions to accelerate the healing process and reduce the risk of limb loss. Cotylelobium lanceolatum Craib, a medicinal plant long utilized in traditional Thai medicine, is known for its anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. This study focuses on developing an extract from Cotylelobium lanceolatum Craib in the form of nano silver (Nano Silver) to enhance the effectiveness of diabetic wound treatment. Nano silver technology enables deeper penetration into the skin, provides potent antibacterial activity, and promotes wound healing by reducing inflammation and stimulating tissue regeneration. The development of nano silver derived from Cotylelobium lanceolatum Craib extract is expected to help reduce chronic wounds in diabetic patients, lower the risk of infection, and decrease the incidence of limb amputation and mortality associated with diabetic wound complications. This research represents a significant step toward creating a safer and more effective treatment alternative for diabetic wound care.

"Eco Mango Pack: Eco-friendly Packaging for a Sustainable Future" focuses on developing innovative packaging for Nam Dok Mai mangoes, considering fruit safety, shelf life, and environmental impact. The selected materials include a box made from coconut husk, and dry water hyacinth stems have been utilized as internal cushioning to enhance shock resistance. Additionally, dried coffee grounds are incorporated into the packaging to extend the mango's shelf life. The design also takes into account the needs of small-scale farmers, making the packaging suitable for community enterprise production and reducing production costs. This project aims to add value to Thai agricultural products, support the circular economy concept, and promote the use of environmentally friendly materials in the packaging industry.

This research aimed 1) to study the problems and needs in the packaging design of the community enterprise group 2) to develop packaging for the community enterprise group 3) to study the satisfaction with the packaging design of the members of the Klong Dan Shrimp Paste Community Enterprise Group 3 Klong Dan Subdistrict, Bang Bo District, Samut Prakan Province, consisting of 9 members The study found that the community enterprise group faced the problem of lacking suitable packaging for souvenirs and had a need to develop packaging that is appropriate for this purpose. The packaging material selected was paper, with a rectangular shape including a handle for portability It can be folded for easy transportation and stacked for storage, while maintaining durability The packaging color used was light brown, and the label color was white The label included the following details: shrimp paste recipe, ingredients, manufacturing and expiration dates, the background of the community enterprise group, a QR code, phone number, a short story, group name, production site, as well as illustrations of the group’s location and red krill. The results of developing packaging for the community enterprise group indicated that the new packaging design increased the credibility of the product, building customer confidence in the product. Regarding the satisfaction with the packaging design among the group members, it was found that Packaging Design 1 had the highest level of satisfaction (x ̅ = 4.57, S.D. = 0.22). Among the aspects, color received the highest satisfaction score (x ̅ = 4.74, S.D. = 0.06), followed by the label (x ̅ = 4.69, S.D. = 0.10), while the lowest was the properties aspect, which was rated at a moderate level of satisfaction (x ̅ = 3.83, S.D. = 1.58), respectively.

Smart Agriculture has rapidly developed in recent years, particularly with the integration of robotics and automation technologies to improve production efficiency and reduce costs, thereby enhancing the quality of current agricultural practices. A key innovation in this area is the rail-based robotic arm, designed to enhance work efficiency using a rail system with high precision and effectiveness. The application of this robotic arm covers various processes, such as planting, sorting, maintenance, harvesting, and resource management, allowing continuous operation and reducing human labor in repetitive and high-risk tasks. Studies have shown that the use of rail-based robotic arms in agriculture can significantly improve work efficiency, reduce production costs, and effectively mitigate environmental impact. By using robots in agricultural processes, it is possible to reduce contamination, lower the risk of crop damage, and make agriculture more sustainable. Additionally, it can increase accuracy in operations on limited spaces or farms with diverse crops. From these findings, it can be concluded that adopting rail-based robotic arm technology in agriculture not only enhances long-term production efficiency but also promotes sustainable agriculture and maximizes resource use, meeting future agricultural demands

This cooperative education report presents a project for developing a Distributed Control System (DCS) for boilers in a sugar factory. The objective is to enhance the control system for boilers 1-8 to operate cohesively within the DCS framework provided by ABB, utilizing the ABB Ability™ System 800xA software. The overall functionality of the system involves creating a control program that begins with the utilization of bagasse, a byproduct from the sugar extraction process, as fuel for the boiler. The program manages various operations of the boiler, including the intake of air into the combustion chamber, the internal functioning of the boiler, and the treatment of flue gases before their release into the atmosphere. The project encompasses the development of the DCS program, the design and creation of HMI display graphics, the study and design of the boiler control system, the documentation of the project, and the control processes utilizing the ABB Ability™ System 800xA software, culminating in the operational outcomes.
