Hi Ong It’s Idul Fitri (Muslim feat after the fast) vacation time in Indonesia and the reason for the delay in getting back to you. Our office reopens next Monday December 8.
I’m curious why you are using the most expensive palm oil derivative to make biodiesel! Maybe CPO or getting WVO from local food processors would make more sense. Are there rejects, tailings etc available that you can process. I don’t believe importing other oils would be a good idea at all. You have transportation and tax costs as well as palm oil traditionally costing 30% or so less than soy.
