Palembang (ANTARA) - Pertamina Patra Niaga Refinery Unit (RU) Plaju,\nor Plaju Refinery, in South Sumatra, is developing Breezon MC-32, an\neco-friendly propylene-based refrigerant (R1270) that possesses low\nglobal warming potential.<\/p>\n
Acting Executive General Manager of PT Pertamina Patra Niage RU\nPlaju, Asrinur, stated in a written report received in Palembang on\nTuesday, that the development of Breezon is a continuation of the Plaju\nRefinery\u2019s innovation in providing more environmentally friendly\nproducts.<\/p>\n
\u201cInnovation will continue to evolve to meet the challenges of the\nera. From Musicool to Breezon, we strive to present products that not\nonly provide added value to the industry but also serve as part of the\neffort to protect the environment, including the ozone layer,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
He explained that the journey of refrigerant innovation began in 2006\nwith Musicool, a hydrocarbon refrigerant developed by the Plaju Refinery\nas an alternative to conventional refrigerants. As technology and\nindustrial needs progressed, Plaju Refinery workers subsequently\ndeveloped Breezon MC-32 starting in 2018.<\/p>\n
Breezon MC-32 has zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP), ensuring it\ndoes not damage the ozone layer. The product also possesses a very low\nGlobal Warming Potential (GWP).<\/p>\n
Beyond environmental aspects, Breezon MC-32 maintains a minimum\npurity level of 99.7 per cent by weight. Based on test results, the use\nof this product has the potential to save electricity consumption by\napproximately 20 to 30 per cent, as it requires a lower mass for\ncharging compared to synthetic refrigerants.<\/p>\n
He further explained that the development of Breezon is part of the\nimplementation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)\nprinciples, particularly through product development that focuses on\nenvironmental aspects and energy efficiency.<\/p>\n
These efforts align with the transformation of the Plaju Refinery in\nsupporting more sustainable operations, including the development of a\nGreen Refinery as part of Pertamina\u2019s journey towards the 2060 Net Zero\nEmission (NZE) target.<\/p>\n
Breezon MC-32 is currently being utilised within the Pertamina Group.\nOne example is PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC), which uses it to support\nfacility operations at the Cepu Gas Field in Central Java.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis utilisation also demonstrates the use of domestic innovation to\nsupport industrial needs within the Pertamina Group,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Plaju Refinery is committed to continuously developing innovations\nthat support energy efficiency while prioritising environmental\nsustainability. The development of this refrigerant product is expected\nto be part of the effort to introduce more eco-friendly technologies and\nsupport future industrial needs.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/plaju-refinery-develops-breezon-as-eco-friendly-refrigerant-1790082013", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
