Chimneys of Sungai Palas Boh Tea Factory

This old 5m high chimney at Sg Palas Boh Tea Factory
is of a tea dryer furnace used in the process of drying the tea leaves
which uses rubber wood as a source of fuel.

  4. this looks like it must be a small operation.
    interesting the use of rubber trees for fuel - or is that very common?

    Nava.K,

    VioletSky,
    The Boh Tea plantation started in 1929
    and it's operation have been done in a very sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
    Rubber wood is very common here in Malaysia
    and it's used because it burns very well.
