Pertagas to run Prabumulih NGL plant at full capacity

By Godang Sitompul

State-owned PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas) plans to run the Prabumulih NGL plant in South Sumatra at full capacity in November-December of this year.

This would allow the plant to produce 700 tons of LPG per day, said Pertagas President Director Gunung Sardjono.

?We expect that by November or December, it (the plant) can run at full capacity so that LPG production could reach 700 tons per day,? Gunung told Petromindo.com Tuesday.

?Coordination with PEP, Gasdom, and ISC is very crucial because the operation of the plant would heavily depend on gas feed from PEP, also the readiness of Gasdom and ISC to absorb the LPG product,? he added.

He said that the NGL plant in Prabumulih will come on stream in September or October of this year.
