Nalco Water Indonesia District Manager, Hamdani Bantasyam told Petromindo.com on Thursday the company has participated in a recent tender held by PLN, and is currently waiting for the result.

Nalco has been engaged in the provision of the water treatment technology and related services for 130 power plants in Indonesia including coal-fired, gas-fired and geothermal, he said.
