MEMPAWAH - President Director of PT Borneo Alumina Indonesia (PT BAI) Leonard Manurung targets Smelter Grade Alumina Refinery (SGAR) Mempawah Phase I to produce 3,000 tons of alumina per day after starting full operation in the first quarter of 2025.
For information, PT BAI is a subsidiary of the State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN) PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminum and PT Aneka Tambang Tbk.

The alumina produced by SGAR will be sent through the ports of Kijing, Mempawah and taken to Kuala Tanjung, North Sumatra for further processing by Inalum.
