RDF Indah Kiat Serang Claimed to be Largest in Southeast Asia, Capacity 8,100 Tons per Day

“It is already operational, but implementation is being carried out in stages. "The facilities witnessed during this visit are the third phase with greater investment and capacity," he said. Heppy said.

According to him, Hanif had visited the facility about two years previously and encouraged the company to speed up the completion of the RDF construction.

Indah Kiat also stated that she was ready to collaborate with the Serang Regency Environmental Service. However, the company requires that the waste received has been sorted and has relatively homogeneous characteristics.

“In principle, waste must be sorted because the RDF we use requires a more homogeneous type of material. "Waste that is not homogeneous cannot be processed directly," he said. he explained.

Indah Kiat is ready to absorb plastic waste that meets specifications. Meanwhile, used paper can be used as raw material for production because it still has commercial value or used as RDF material.

RDF Used for Factory Energy

The RDF products produced by the Indah Kiat facility have not yet been marketed to outside parties. All production is used to meet part of the factory's internal energy needs.

RDF is used as a mixed fuel to reduce the use of coal, although the company has not completely abandoned this fossil energy.
