Helping Improve Safety and Strengthening Sustainable Operations for Chandra Asri
Insight
Chandra Asri Petrochemical is Indonesia’s largest integrated petrochemical company. It produces raw materials that are used in a variety of everyday products, from food packaging and water tanks to automotive parts and personal protective equipment. The company is committed to reducing its environmental footprint through various initiatives, including minimizing the use of water and energy.
Innovation
Building on a longtime partnership with Chandra Asri, Ecolab provided onsite expertise, state-of-the art technologies and sustainable chemistry to the company. The team introduced 3D TRASAR™, a water management solution that provides digital insights into plant operations and identifies opportunities to improve operational efficiency, and PRISM™ Technologies*, which protects assets from fouling, or the accumulation of unwanted material on solid surfaces.
* PRISM™ Technologies is not available in Latin America
Impact
Ultimately, these paired solutions led to more efficient operations at Chandra Asri’s facility and inspired the team to expand the solutions to a second plant. By delivering water and energy savings with 3D TRASAR™, the plant made progress toward its sustainability goals while reducing operational costs. And by using PRISM™, Chandra Asri reduced plant emissions and decreased the need for manual cleanings, helping to protect its employees.
“We are pleased to partner with Ecolab, in line with our ethos of being a growth partner, to mark another key milestone for Chandra Asri’s sustainability journey. We believe if we all act as responsible stewards for the environment, we will all benefit in the long run. Chandra Asri is fully committed towards delivering improvements that reduce our environmental footprint, as we actively seek to balance environmental, economic and social goals via transparent and proactive engagement with the community and key stakeholders around us.”
