Attractions for high-tech industries?
name at least 5
- attractive landscaped working environment
- cheap land prices
- proximity to other high-tech industries
- government incentives
- highly qualified and skilled workforce
- attractive location to live-shopping, cultural and entertainment facilities
- easy access to airports
- close to research facilities and universities
- good road links
Factors that affect the location of the industrial zone
west oil mill case study
- Raw material + input
Close to the Carey Island palm oil plantation which is where they get the FFB’s from to make the oil. - Nearby urban areas
Kuala Lumpur and Port Klang are close to the area which means there are nearby customers and transport links - E26 Road
Large road for easy transportation of FFB’s and to customers. FFB’s need to be transported quickly for the best production.
inputs

- FFBS (brought in using trucks) are used to make the crude oil.
- Capital
- Labour
process
west oil mill case study
- Grading process to remove ripe and unripe fruit bunches.
- Sterilization : The fruit is steam to soften and detach individual fruit from the bunch.
- Pressing: The individual fruits are pressed to extract the palm oil.
- Purification: Impurities are removed leaving crude palm oil
outputs

- Crude palm oil
- Unripe fruit bunches
- Empty bunches
- Shells
- Fibre
- Palm oil mill effluent (POME — liquid waste)
- Mulch (old stems leaves) organic fertiliser.

- Stripped bunches: These are used as fertilizer on the plantations.
- Fibre and Shells: used as boiler fuel in the mills
- POME: can be processed with a methane capture technique where the end result is biogas which can be used as energy. Pome is also treated at a wastewater treatment pond to reduce acidity.
positive impacts of industrial zones
west oil mill case study
- Has helped millions of people achieve economic independence
- Enabled people to have jobs (600,000 people)
- In 2011, a total of 4.917 million hectares were planted
- From 1960 to 2010, infant mortality rates have decreased drastically from about 70 per 1000 live births to around 10 because families were able to make money to provide for their families
negative impacts of industrial zones

- Dangerous work zones
- dense population
- Pollution
- Transportation of infrastructure
