Chandra Asri Operates Enclosed Ground Flare, Reduces Environmental and Social Impacts

Continuing its commitment to sustainability, PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical Tbk is now ready to operate Enclosed Ground Flare (EGF), a smokeless flare technology at its petrochemical complex in Cilegon, Banten. Reaches a total investment of US$ 14 million, EGF was built to minimize the social and environmental impacts of its plant operations. Being built since 2018, EGF is capable of burning 220 tons of hydrocarbons per hour using a closed combustion method without causing heat and noise. From an environmental perspective, EGF is designed to carry out the combustion process completely so that no hydrocarbons from combustion are discharged into the air. From a social perspective, EGF is able to reduce noise while eliminating flame and smoke.
