Satria Confirms Pyrolysis Machines at Klungkung TOSS Centre Are Environmentally Friendly

Klungkung Regent I Made Satria has confirmed that the exhaust gas from the pyrolysis waste processing machine at the Local Waste Processing Site (TOSS) Centre produces minimal pollution and is environmentally friendly. He made this statement during a trial of a 750-kilogramme capacity pyrolysis machine at the TOSS Centre in Kusamba Village, Dawan District, Klungkung, Bali, on Tuesday (9/6/2026). The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle politician explained that the pyrolysis unit from PT Andersons Group, Cook Island, is a machine recommended by the central government. Its processing system does not involve burning but rather heating at high temperatures. “This means the heating process does not produce smoke. What comes out of the chimney resembling smoke is actually steam. So, it can be said that because it produces steam, this machine is environmentally friendly,” Satria clarified. Nevertheless, Satria requested the company to still conduct emission tests on the pyrolysis machine’s exhaust gas. This is important as accountable documentation when the pyrolysis unit becomes fully operational in Klungkung. In addition to ensuring the pyrolysis machine is environmentally friendly, during the trial Satria also ensured the company could empower local workers. He specifically asked the company to train local personnel to operate the machine so that the TOSS Centre is not filled with outside labour. “So, we also request the company to train our workforce so we do not continuously use outside labour,” Satria explained. The processing of waste using the pyrolysis machine at the Klungkung TOSS Centre is a collaboration between the Klungkung Regency Government and PT Inpac Solutions Indo and PT Bali Bersih Bersinar. According to Satria, the Klungkung Regency Government only provides the location and the waste; the rest is fully managed by the company. He hopes the full operation targeted for late June can proceed according to plan. Director of PT Inpac Solution Indo, Anak Agung Pablo Subamia, explained that the trial conducted was only on the smallest capacity unit among all the machines to be operated at the TOSS Centre. A larger machine capable of processing 8 tonnes of waste per hour will arrive shortly. “All these machines will be able to process 168 tonnes of waste per day. We are progressing towards that,” Pablo stated. Gradually, PT Inpac Solution Indo will begin clearing the residual waste mounds at the TOSS Centre, starting from 20 to 40 tonnes per day, then continuing with 50 to 75 tonnes, until all machines are operational and reach 168 tonnes per day. All machines are expected to be operational by late June or mid-July 2026. The output from the processed waste includes oil, black carbon, and wire. The oil produced is said to be used directly as fuel for the existing machines. “So, this 750 KG capacity machine is designated to produce oil which we will use to power the other three machines,” Pablo concluded.
