JAKARTA (Dec 19): SumiSaujana Group Bhd (KL:SUMI) plans to expand its footprint into Indonesia after wholly owned subsidiary SumiSaujana TCM Chemicals Sdn Bhd (SSTCM) entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to jointly explore the development of a wet gas sulphuric acid (WSA) facility at PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional’s (KPI) refinery units in Indonesia. The proposed facility will convert acid gas produced during refinery operations into commercial-grade sulphuric acid, while recovering heat to be reused, helping reduce emissions and comply with environmental regulations. “Indonesia is a net importer of sulphuric acid. “So this refinery plant is expected to produce sulphuric acid from WSA which will help reduce the country’s reliance on imported sulphuric acid,” he said. Besides, SumiSaujana executive director and chief operating officer Ramli Mohamad said the collaboration represents the first Malaysian-led green technology initiative in the country.
