Petrokimia Gresik Dinobatkan Sebagai "The Most Committed Corporate In Circular Economy" Berkat Komitmen dan Konsisten Dalam Penerapan Ekonomi Sirkuler dan Teknologi Ramah Lingkungan

Petrokimia Gresik, an Agroindustry Solutions company under the Pupuk Indonesia holding group, has been awarded “The Most Committed Corporate in Circular Economy” at the 2025 Indonesian Circular Economy Award (ICEA). The award was symbolically received by Petrokimia Gresik’s Director of Operations and Production, Majus Luther Sirait, in Bali recently. Luther stated that this achievement was earned because three of Petrokimia Gresik’s innovations received the Platinum Award category. These innovations further strengthen Petrokimia Gresik’s position as a company consistently implementing circular economy principles and environmentally friendly technologies.

“We would like to express our gratitude, as our breakthroughs in reducing carbon emissions or decarbonization—particularly through circular economy strategies have received recognition from stakeholders. This award certainly further motivates us, the entire Petrokimia Gresik workforce, to continue innovating in support of the Government’s target of achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2050,” said Luther.

The three innovations that received the Platinum Award include the implementation of INTHERVAL (Integrated Thermal Valorization System) technology, which optimizes the utilization of waste gas as fuel across several boiler facilities. The next innovation is the application of the Jet Scrubber Hightech System at the ZK Plant, which successfully reduced hydrochloric acid (HCl) gas emissions while simultaneously increasing the production of liquid HCl.

Lastly, the development of the Advanced Post-Scrubber System was carried out to reduce hydrogen fluoride (HF) emissions and increase the recovery of H₂SiF₆ (fluorosilicic acid) at the Phosphoric Acid Plant. Fluorosilicic acid is widely used in various industrial applications, such as drinking water fluoridation, aluminum fluoride production, and cement hardening.

He explained that these innovations represent Petrokimia Gresik's strategy to minimize environmental impact resulting from plant operations through a Green Industry and sustainable approach. These breakthroughs also reaffirm Petrokimia Gresik’s commitment as an environmentally responsible company.

“The implementation of circular economy at Petrokimia Gresik focuses on converting by-products into value-added products. What was initially a cost center—part of our commitment to reducing carbon emissions has now successfully created added value while offering concrete solutions to preserve the company’s environmental ecosystem,” Luther concluded.
