The state-owned energy company, PT Pertamina together with PT Pupuk Kujang and PT Rekacipta Innovation Institute of Technology Bandung established a joint venture factory, PT Katalis Sinergi Indonesia. This is the first catalyst plant in Indonesia and will be labeled “Katalis Merah Putih”.
The factory will have capacity of 300 tons per year. The plant will begin construction by the end of 2020 and is expected to start operating in 2021. The catalyst is an important part to accelerate the reaction of the process of forming the final product. Almost all process industries, both chemical, petrochemical and olechemical industries, including biomass and vegetable-based renewable energy technologies require catalysts.
