The District Government of Tanah Laut, South Kalimantan, and PT PLN Persero of Asam-Asam Power Management Unit (UPK) signed an MoU for utilization of fly ash bottom ash (FABA) from the coal-fired power plant (PLTU) of Asam Asam.
"FABA from the remaining of coal combustion at the PLTU Asam-Asam is no longer categorized as B3 (the hazardous and toxic waste) because it is used as supporting material for infrastructure and others," said the Tanah Laut District Secretary H Dahnial Kifli.
He said this to the press after the seminar on the use of FABA in accelerating the regional economy and the signing of MOU between the Tanah Laut government and PT PLN of Asam-Asam Power Management Unit.
