TRCPA - The following came from pages 26-27 and isn't entirely clear to me. I wonder if the limitation is the individual KDSs or another part of the equipment such as the pelletizer?
The 80,000 MT/year is derived from the limitation of processing capacity of the pelleting equipment. Based on clarification with the technology supplier (refer to letter from QL Tawau Pellet), there are 3 processing lines and the maximum capacity per line is designed to be 1.5 mT/hour. Thus the maximum processing throughput of the pellet system is estimated to be around 30,955t/y (4.35 x 7,116 operating hours).
