SURYA.co.id | SURABAYA – Industrial gas producers in 2018 are expected to increase their output by 5% by the Ministry of Industry. But entrepreneurs have a higher target, since potential users or users of industrial gases are still very large.
"One of the potentials is in the east of Indonesia," said Arief Harsono, president of the Indonesian Industrial Gas Association. (AGII), intercepted by the AGII X congress in Surabaya on Thursday (5/7/2018).
Therefore AGII, which has members of about thirty industrial gas processing companies, has agreed to invest in an industrial gas plant in the region. This measure must be applied because the industrial gas still can not be transported over long distances.
Among others, because the package is still imported with a high price, so it is less efficient and special to transport arbitrary industrial gases. this industry is a processed gas of some kind of chemical that can be used by industries such as hospitals, food preservation, fruits, vegetables and food and beverages
"We are so very dependent. He added that it existed in Papua and Nusa Tenggara, we certainly want to invest there a factory, "continued Arief
Currently, the potential that can take advantage of industrial gas in Papua and Nusa Tenggara is definitely an industry For example, the use of a treatment related to pure oxygen and the like.For all this time, the need has been met by a limited distribution with products from North Sulawesi or from Maluku, which already have factories and distribution networks.
Over the past seven years, the Indonesian industrial gas industry has grown by 300%.
But the number of companies has decreased by 60 companies that are members of AGII, now only 30 companies.
"We noted that from 2011 to 2018, there was a 300% increase for industrial gas, the requirement initial load of 900 million cubic meters now reaching 2.4 billion cubic meters, "said Arief
. reaching 5-6 percent each year that contributes to the national demand for industrial gas. Arief hopes that in the future, with the growth of the national economy, industrial gas demand will increase and that next year will increase by another 10%.
While his congress highlights the lack of synchronization of central and local government policy, the gas industry "For example, HO permits (interruptions) that were abolished by the central government, but that still exist and requested to be extended by some regions, even we have paid a fine related to the authorization, "he said
. the congress also agreed on the manufacture of standard cylinders or packaging of industrial gases sold to consumers, through the cooperation of the Ministry of Labor giving priority to the element of occupational safety
