OPT Procurement at Kluang Pilot Plant

Our Kluang Pilot Plant continuously Procure oil palm trunk (OPT) from surrounding plantations. In photos of OPT loaded onto a truck, look like ordinary logs, but they contain 70-80% moisture. OPT is chipped, soaked and washed, crushed, dried and molded to produce fuel pellets, raw material pellets for boards, and other multi-purpose OPT samples.
