Description
Ammonia is used as a raw material in the chemical industry. The ammonia produced by Pupuk Kaltim is marketed in liquid form at -33°C with a minimum purity of 99.5% and a mixture (impurity) with up to 0.5% water content.
Ammonia is formed from natural gas as raw material which is reacted with air and water vapor and gradually processed at high temperature and pressure through several catalyst-containing reactors. Pupuk Kaltim has five Ammonia plants, namely Plant 1A, Plant 2, Plant 3, Plant 4, and Plant 5. The total capacity reaches 2.74 million tons of Ammonia per year.
The main raw materials for ammonia product formation in the last 3 years are shown in the following table:
| Type | Unit | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Renewable Raw Materials | ||||
| Air | Nm3 | 2,876,941,792 | 3,016,317,697 | 3,101,595,452 |
| Non-Renewable Raw Materials | ||||
| Natural Gas | MMBtu | 68,709,745 | 69,772,683 | 70,259,683 |
In 2024, the use of air as raw material amounted to 3,101,595,452 Nm3 or 39% of the total raw material requirement for producing ammonia. In the urea fertilizer production process, all raw materials (liquid ammonia and CO2) are fully consumed, therefore cannot be recycled.

MSDS
Material Safety Data Sheet
The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is an instruction sheet/document containing chemical material information such as material characteristics (physical and chemical), potential dangers, methods of handling, special action in emergencies, and other necessary information.
The document plays an important role in ensuring occupational safety in the handling of chemicals. SDS provides information on the correct procedures in transportation, storage before use, handling during use, and emergency special handling up to disposal of the chemicals after use. Every employee who uses chemicals must read the SDS material for personal, material, and environmental safety.
Chemical manufacturers are obliged to provide SDS for the chemical products they produce according to national and international regulations.
