Davao Oriental Eco Industrial Park’s Final Masterplan Revealed in December 2018

The final masterplan of the 1,500-hectare $27 billion Davao Oriental Eco Industrial Park (DOEIP) in Banaybanay, Davao Oriental, is set to be revealed on December 13 this year.

The presentation will be done in time for the project’s contractors and suppliers’ convention at the Davao Convention and Trade Center, Torres Street, Davao City.

The masterplan will serve as a guide in realizing the big-ticket project from permits, data gathering, scope of construction and supplier partners to the phase progression of the whole project.

“It’s like the bible of any big construction. Every detail must be very accurate and specific. Being a part of its project management one, or all of us rather in the company, cannot afford to be complacent,” - Glen Reyes, Marketing Head of Collaborative Industrial Revolution Inc. (CIRI) said in an interview. 

Mr. Reyes underscored that the masterplan will remove all doubts about the Davao Oriental Industrial Park project.

“Presenting it to the suppliers, contractors, government officials, residents and all individuals involved would mean seriousness on our part as project management. Now that we have the Master Plan I am confident everything will turn around,” he added.

The Davao Oriental Eco Industrial Park project is a partnership project between the Provincial Government of Davao Oriental and Pionaire Finance Limited.

Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to Train Banaybanay Citizens

The Local Government Unit (LGU) of Banaybanay, Province of Davao Oriental, has tapped the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to train its citizens for the construction of a 1,500-hectare eco-industrial park.

"Banaybanay LGU wants its people to be the ones to work and benefit from the construction. We will train the applicants and provide them with various construction-related courses," TESDA-11 Regional Director Lorenzo Macapili said.

He continued that TESDA initially targets to train 100 trainers for this project, and might eventually add the trainers via the agency's "train the trainers" approach.

"The (Banaybanay) LGU said the project would need 5,000-10,000 construction workers. But that doesn't mean 5,000 'at one-shot'. Getting the workers would be gradual," Macapili clarified.

The regional director said the Banaybanay town government would like to hire its residents for this project, and it would also hire those from adjacent municipalities.

"So, if there are many IPs (indigenous people) in one municipality, for instance, they would also learn from us," Macapili said.

Macapili said the construction industry in Davao Oriental would provide on-site training for the applicants or trainees.

Davao Oriental Eco-Industrial Park Updates: Relocation of Affected Banaybanay Residents

What is a Cement Plant?

The cement industry is highly affected by increased energy prices and CO₂ penalties. The need for adaptation to a more environmentally friendly, and cost effective, energy solution is urgent in the increasingly competitive global market.
 
In cement plants, generic measures like preventive maintenance, use of efficient motors, efficient and variable speed drives, proper insulation, optimization of compressor and lighting systems can help reduce energy consumption.   
 

Cement Kilns

Cement kilns are used for the pyroprocessing stage of manufacture of Portland and other types of hydraulic cement, in which calcium carbonate reacts with silica-bearing minerals to form a mixture of calcium silicates. 

Over a billion tonnes of cement are made per year, and cement kilns are the heart of this production process: their capacity usually defines the capacity of the cement plant. 
 

Manufacturing of Cement

 

Cement is manufactured through a closely controlled chemical combination of calcium, silicon, aluminum, iron and other ingredients.

Common materials used to manufacture cement include limestone, shells, and chalk or marl combined with shale, clay, slate, blast furnace slag, silica sand, and iron ore. 

These ingredients, when heated at high temperatures form a rock-like substance that is ground into the fine powder that we commonly think of as cement.

The most common way to manufacture portland cement is through a dry method.

Dry process

In the dry process, the raw materials are dried in a combined drying and grinding plant to reduce the moisture content below 1%. The materials are ground in either a ball or a roller mill with drying of the materials being achieved by sweeping the mill with the exhaust gases from the kiln. 

The drying capacity of the raw grinding system may be supplemented by auxiliary hot air generating furnaces. The dried, finely ground raw mix powder is then blended and homogenised in silos with the mixing being provided by compressed air.

The blended and homogenised raw mix is then usually fed to a gas-suspension preheater ahead of a short rotary kiln. These preheaters consist of successive heat exchanger and collection cyclone stages arranged above one-another in series in a tower. 

Partial calcination of the raw mix takes place prior to the mix entering the rotary section of the kiln.

Additionally a precalciner can be integrated between the kiln and the suspension preheater which ensures complete calcining of the raw mix before it enters the kiln. Precalciners increase kiln capacity and reduce energy consumption.

Fuel consumption is lowest in this process and is in the range of 2750-4000 kJ/kg of clinker. 

The power consumption is in the range of 120-125 kWh/tonne of cement (Chemical Universe, 2007). However, the most modern, dry-process cement plants can have power consumption in the range 80-100 kWh/tonne of cement by deployment of compression grinding equipment for raw and finish milling rather than ball mills. 

Production of blended cements is also widely used to reduce unit electrical energy consumption

Although the dry process is the most modern and popular way to manufacture cement, some kilns in the United States use a wet process. 


Wet Process

In the wet process the preparation of the raw mix is achieved by grinding the dry raw materials with water in wash mills, or ball mills with rubber linings. The resultant slurry is mixed in slurry basins where compressed air is introduced and the slurry is continuously stirred to produce a slurry of consistent composition.

In the conventional wet process this thick liquid slurry, which may have water content of 30-40%, is fed directly into the kiln where the water is evaporated in the drying zone at the kiln inlet. 

This drying zone is fitted with curtains of chains which promote heat exchange between the slurry and the exhaust gases from the combustion of fuel in the kiln passing counter-current with the slurry feed up the kiln.

After passing through the drying zone the raw material moves down the kiln through the preheating zone to be calcined and finally burnt to clinker in the sintering zone. 

Conventional wet kiln technology has a high heat consumption and produces large volumes of exhaust gases. 

In more modern wet kiln systems water is driven off the raw slurry prior to entering the kiln in a slurry drier. 

Slurry “thinning” chemicals may be added to allow the slurry to be pumped to the kiln with lower water content. 

These more modern wet kiln systems have lower specific heat consumption compared to conventional wet kilns.

What is a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Plant?

Natural gas is one of the world’s most important sources of energy.


Today approximately 30% of the world's energy demand is derived from natural gas. The majority of natural gas is delivered by pipeline in gaseous form.

Liquefied natural gas is an odorless, colorless, non-toxic, non-corrosive and non-flammable form of methane. As fuels go, it's pretty cool.


LNG touches only a small portion of the world's gas supply, but it's the fastest-growing portion. 

Since 2000, global demand for LNG has grown 140 percent and now accounts for roughly 10 percent of the methane consumed worldwide. The rest moves to market by pipeline.

Natural gas and LNG in particular is expected to play an essential role in the world’s transition to cleaner sources of energy.

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Plant

An LNG plant refines natural gas obtained from deep within the earth and condenses it into a pure, concentrated, efficient form of energy. 
During the process, ‘impurities’ such as small amounts of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, are removed. 
When refined, it is almost pure methane— one of the most efficient sources of energy.

Advantages of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)

• It makes it possible to use natural gas in areas where natural gas is not available via the national delivery network or municipal distribution system.

• It is a more economic source of energy when compared to black products (fuel oil and diesel) and LPG.

• It is suitable for consumer purposes such as process, steam recovery, heating and cooking in sectors like tourism, steel, paper and ceramic.

• Because of it high energy content, the total amount of energy needed is reduced.

• It expands 600 times to reach its gaseous state (1 unit of LNG = 600 units of natural gas).

• A large amount of natural gas can be stored and transported at low pressure.

• It can be used in all burning devices by making minor changes.

• Because it is a clean fuel, it contributes to improved product quality and reduces maintenance costs.

However, in the past two decades Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) have become much more important in the world's energy market. LNG is exported from 19 countries. 

In recent years, LNG production processes and LNG usages are becoming diverse with new technologies for gas field development and increase of LNG demand.

Davao Oriental Rebel Returnees Acquire ICT Training

The Provincial Government of Davao Oriental has tapped the Tech4d Center, a computer-based educational mechanism under the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT), to provide former NPA rebels with new tech skills.

Ms. Amelia S. Dean, DICT acting regional head for operations and coordination services, said the center provides delivery channels of “information and communication technology (ICT)-enabled services and government services to reach rural areas.”  “We are nationwide. We also serve as training hub to educate the public on digital literacy and to raise awareness on the importance of ICT,” stated Ms. Dean.

The beneficiaries are former members of the New People’s Army who are staying at the Davao Oriental Provincial Government’s Happy Home, a halfway house for those who have surrendered and laid down their arms.

Ms. Dean said the Tech4d Center provides programs like English competency, financial literacy, research, farming technologies, and also offers online job opportunities, business networking, and provides training for those who want online jobs.

Davao Oriental Barangay Takes Charge of Major Road Maintenance Work

The maintenance of a PHP 52.2M concrete farm-to-market road with a 45-meter concrete bridge will now be the responsibility of Barangay Mikit in Baganga town under a pioneering community-based road maintenance (CBRM) program. 

Davao Oriental Governor Nelson L. Dayanghirang, at the CBRM program launch and turn-over ceremony said giving the maintenance responsibility to the barangay “will ensure the sustainability of the completed project as it allows community involvement in taking care of it.” “For the first time, the responsibility of taking care of an infrastructure project is given to the beneficiaries. This will provide them an opportunity to participate in maintaining the projects given to them,” Governor Dayanghirang said in a statement. 

The CBRM program is based on the inter-management agreement of the provincial government with the DA and World Bank. 

Engineer John Christopher Algallar of the Provincial Engineering Office said the program saves the Davao Oriental Provincial Government of the need to mobilize resources as “it will pay the barangay for the maintenance, which in turn enables the barangay to generate additional income.”

Two Davao Oriental Towns To Get Abaca Sector Funds

The upland villages of Manay and Boston towns in Davao Oriental have been allocated a combined PHP 7M fund to boost its abaca production, starting with a plant disease eradication program. 

The Davao Oriental Provincial Government, in a statement, said addressing diseases is the “most important” step to improving the abaca industry because it is key to propagating healthy seedlings. 

The other components of the abaca projects are nursery development, abaca farm expansion and rehabilitation, and livelihood training support on abaca processing.

The program officially started on Aug. 1. “All of our efforts for the program will be useless if we do not address first the eradication of the disease which is viral in nature and quickly spreads,” said Ednar G. Dayanghirang, chief of staff of the Davao Oriental Provincial Governor’s office. 

The abaca sector funding is sourced from the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace Process (OPAPP), through its Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (Pamana) Program which is intended for peace-building through livelihood support.

Davao Region Raises Minimum Daily Wage For Workers

Davao region workers will be receiving an additional PHP 56 to their daily wage after the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) implements two tranches of a wage hike this month.

The first tranche of PHP 30 is expected to be reflected in the workers’ August 16th payroll. 

This should mean an increase in daily wage to P370 for workers in the industrial, commercial and retail services sectors. 

Agriculture workers should be receiving a daily wage of P365.

Employees in businesses in the retail services should be paid P355 each after the wage increase.

The succeeding tranche of P26 will be applied to the workers' payroll by February of next year.

The new Wage Order RB XI-20 was issued on June 26, or about 20 days after the regional wage board conducted public hearings and consultations in Davao City, Digos City, Mati City, Panabo City, Island Garden City of Samal, Tagum City, Compostela Valley, Davao del Norte, Davao Occidental, Davao Oriental and Davao del Sur.

The regional wage board said its public hearings and consultations corroborated the study it conducted on the wage profile of workers in the region, which necessitated a new round of wage increase “to restore lost purchasing power of minimum-wage earners in Davao region for them to cope with the rising cost of living.”

The RTWPB added, however, that its prescribed wage hike would not affect or impair the productivity and viability of businesses and industries in the Davao region. 

The Wage Board further said that “Consistent with the government’s policy of achieving a higher level of productivity to preserve and generate jobs, and to augment the income of workers, there is a need to build the capacity of business enterprises to be competitive through productivity improvement and gain sharing programs.”

The wage board is persuading businesses “to adopt productivity improvement schemes such as time and motion studies, good housekeeping, quality circles, labor-management cooperation as well as implement gain sharing programs.”

The new wage rates would not cover domestic helpers, house helpers, or kasambahay, whose minimum-wage requirement has been set by the Batas Kasambahay or Republic Act 10361. 

Workers of establishments registered under the Barangay Micro Business Enterprises (BMBE) law and the Go Negosyo Act of 2013 are also not covered by the wage hikes.

Need For More Economic Zones in Davao Region

Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (DCCCII) seeks to strengthen the promotion of more economic zones in the Davao Region.

“We need more economic zones as to promote and even bolster the continuing progress of the business sector in the city or even in the region,” DCCII Chair Ma. Lourdes Monteverde said during a Kapehan sa Dabaw media forum last July 23, 2018.

“It has a tedious process to go through. We have to consolidate with different institutions’ approval in order to implement such. The minimum hectares to develop an industrial manufacturing economic zone for the foreigners can locate or Filipino companies who are into manufacturing is about 25 hectares,” Monteverde added.

Monteverde also said that there are more to just establishing economic zones in the regions. She advised that providing sustainable community livelihood must also be considered.

“Factors like power supply, road network, and connectivity must be considered because goods must be transported efficiently and effectively,” Monteverde further said.

LGU of Banaybanay, Davao Oriental Taps TESDA for Eco Industrial Park Construction

The Local Government Unit of Banaybanay, Davao Oriental has tapped the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to train its residents for the construction of a 1,500-hectare eco industrial park.

Under a MOU between the Davao Oriental Provincial Government and Pionaire Finance Limited, a 1,500-hectare eco industrial park will be constructed in Banaybanay.

"Banaybanay LGU wants its people to be the ones to work and benefit from the construction. We will train the applicants and provide them with various construction-related courses," TESDA- Region 11 Director Lorenzo Macapili said.

"The (Banaybanay) LGU said the project would need 5,000-10,000 construction workers. But that doesn't mean 5,000 'at one-shot'. Getting the workers would be gradual," Macapili further explained.

The regional director said the Banaybanay government would like to hire its residents for this project, and it would also hire those from nearby municipalities.

"So, if there are many IPs  in one municipality, for example, they would also learn from us," Macapili said.

Indigenous people are among TESDA's priority beneficiaries in its free training programs.

Meanwhile, Macapili said there is no specific date yet as to when this project would start. According to him, the LGU also did not specify the target date for the project's completion.

"What's clear for now is our partnership with the municipality of Banaybanay. The provincial government of Davao Oriental and the construction industry there are also our partners in this project," he added.

Regional Director Macapili said the construction industry in Davao Oriental would provide on-site training for the applicants or trainees for the construction of the Davao Oriental Eco Industrial Park.

What is an Eco-Industrial Park?

Definition

An eco-industrial park (EIP) is an industrial park in which businesses cooperate with each other and with the local community in an attempt to reduce waste and pollution, efficiently share resources (such as information, materials, water, energy, infrastructure, and natural resources), and help achieve sustainable development,

  

An EIP may also be planned, designed, and built in such a way that it makes it easier for businesses to co-operate, and that results in a more financially sound, environmentally friendly project for the developer.

  

The Eco-industrial Park Handbook states that "An Eco-Industrial Park is a community of manufacturing and service businesses located together on a common property. Members seek enhanced environmental, economic, and social performance through collaboration in managing environmental and resource issues."

The World Bank Group, United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and German Development Cooperation (GIZ) GmbH launched the first joint international framework on eco-industrial parks (EIPs).

Around 250 self-classified EIPs exist globally; about a third of them in non-OECD countries, and those numbers are growing.

Eco-industrial parks such as Ulsan Mipo and Onsan in South Korea show they can spark economic growth while reducing environmental and social impacts.

Importance of Eco-industrial Parks

Industrial parks cluster industrial businesses in a dedicated location to achieve efficiencies and take advantage of collaborative opportunities. But concentrating economic activity in one area runs the risk of also concentrating negative environmental and social impacts, such as pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and poor labor standards.

The EIP framework describes the minimum expectations for eco-industrial centers across four categories:

• Park management performance
• Environmental performance
• Social performance
• Economic performance

Local communities embracing the concept of Eco-industrial park are looking for some additional benefits for all the interested parties, both public and private: higher economic efficiency, generation of additional revenues through positive regulations at the community level, the creation of jobs, solving the conflict between economy and environment, diminishing the demand on the county infrastructure, decreasing the effects of pollution, using energy from regenerating sources and replacement materials. 

Communities and enterprises creating Eco-industrial parks will have common grounds for industrial development, which is much more competitive, more efficient and much cleaner than traditional industrial parks. 

Davao Oriental Governor Dayanghirang Unveils Major Infrastructure Projects

Governor Dayanghirang delivered his state of the province address last July 1, just in time for the province’s celebration of its 51st founding anniversary,  and laid down this year’s infra projects that would boost Davao Oriental province’s economy.

These include the tramline system to connect remote areas to the nearest road network, development of the Mati Airport, expansion of the tourism complex; construction of multi-purpose buildings cum evacuation centers; more potable water system; and, construction of a new multi-purpose building at the provincial capitol.

The Governor added that he was looking forward to the province’s new $27-billion Davao Oriental Eco Industrial Park project to be developed in partnership with Pionaire Finance Limited in Banaybanay, Davao Oriental.

Davao Oiental province’s tourism industry is also making headway. He reported that the province set new records for a total number of visitors, achieving a large 187 percent growth rate from 2011 to 2017.

In other sectors, Gov. Dayanghirang also reported developments in environmental protection, local revenue collection, employment, healthcare, human resources, social services, public safety, and peace and order.

TESDA Region XI Launch Skills Training Program For Thousands of Workers in Davao Oriental

The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority of Region XI (TESDA XI) is set to conduct a massive skill training for the thousands of workers in Banaybanay, Davao Oriental for the proposed Davao Oriental Eco-industrial Park project.

The Davao Oriental Eco-industrial Park project is a joint venture between the Local Government Unit of Davao Oriental and Pionaire Finance Limited.

During the launching of the skills training program on July 14, TESDA Director General, Secretary Gene Mamondiong said the program aims to develop and train workers in the different trade areas particularly on courses like carpentry, masonry, tile setting, plumbing, and other construction-related skills.

TESDA Launching of Skills Program

The program is TESDA’s response to the request of the local government unit of Banaybanay to provide the required training assistance for the construction workers of the proposed multi-billion Davao Oriental Eco-Industrial Park project that is set to rise in the said town.

The program dubbed as “TESDA-Banaybanay, Davao Oriental Kasanayan para sa Kabuhayan at Kapayapaan para sa Proposed Eco-Industrial Park” will also serve as TESDA XI’s skills training program intended to support the “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure program of the Government.

Apart from the training, TESDA will also build training courts with dorms to provide the trainees the necessary venue and equipment required in their training.

Municipal Councilor Rabsalon Lamaran stressed that the Eco-Industrial Park project would require labor force of at least 10,000 up to 30,000 skilled workers from the start until its full operation.

“The investors agreed that it will be thru localized employment given that workers to be employed have TESDA National Certificates,” Lamaran said.

Davao Oriental Governor Cites Major Projects During The Province 51st Anniversary Celebrations

The Davao Oriental provincial government will implement major infrastructure projects this year to boost the province's economy according to Governor Nelson Dayanghirang during his state of the province address on July 1. 

He laid down this year’s infrastructure projects that he said would boost the province's economy.

Dayanghirang added that he is looking forward to the incoming locators in the province’s USD 27-billion Davao Oriental Industrial Park in Banaybanay town.

He said the industrial park, which will be developed in partnership with Pionaire Finance Limited, is set to create 10,000 jobs for local residents.

Governor Dayanghirang said his administration has sought to foster greater inclusiveness and maximum participation in growth and development by all of the stakeholders, rather than the Davao Oriental provincial government doing everything alone and by itself.

“The province of Davao Oriental has traveled through a significant journey over the past few years. Taking off from the concrete foundations of effective governance already laid by the previous administration, the present leadership has set its sights on delivering the promise of a more progressive government by advancing a slate of sustainable development programs to improve the lives of the people of Davao Oriental," the Governor said.

Davao Oriental Eco Industrial Park Updates: Banaybanay Relocation Site

A relocation site at Banaybanay Davao Oriental has been proposed for the Davao Oriental Eco Industrial Park Project.
