PT Pupuk Kalimantan Timur (also called Pupuk Kaltim or PKT) is one of the strategic industrial companies in Indonesia with five Ammonia plant units and five Urea plant units in one location in Bontang, East Kalimantan and is the subsidiary of PT Pupuk Indonesia Holding Company. While the NPK factory units are spread in three cities (Bontang, Semarang, and Surabaya), including the production of organic fertilizer (called zeorganic) which is spread in five regions (Demak, Banyuwangi, Parepare, Badung, and East Lombok).

History[edit]
Establishment and early history[edit]
In 1977, an offshore fertilizer project was started on two ships owned by Pertamina, the largest Indonesian oil producer, which later became the beginning of the establishment of PT Pupuk Kalimantan Timur. The success of the project finally began the establishment of a factory covering an area of 493 ha (hectares) which was once a very dense forest area on the hillsides of the forests of East Kalimantan. Precisely on December 7, 1977, PKT was officially established. The main raw material for the plant in Bontang is natural gas which is piped from Muara Badak, about 60 km from the factory location.
Initially the Pupuk Kaltim project was managed by Pertamina with floating fertilizer factory facilities or a factory on board. Because of some technical considerations according to Presidential Decree No.43 of 1975 the project location was transferred to land, and through Presidential Decree 39 of 1976 the management was handed over from Pertamina to the Ministry of Industry.
In 1979 the construction of the Kaltim-1 plant began and the commercial operation period was first started in 1987. The Kaltim-2 plant was built in early 1982 and completed 3 months ahead of the stipulated schedule and succeeded in achieving commercial operations faster than East Kalimantan. -1, namely in 1984. The Kaltim-1 plant and Kaltim-2 factory were inaugurated by President Soeharto on October 28, 1984.
The Kaltim-3 plant was built in 1986 and was inaugurated on April 4, 1989. In addition, a unit for making urea formaldehyde (UFC-85) with a capacity of 13,000 tons per year was built to improve the quality of urea fertilizer produced.[2]
Development since 1990[edit]
On November 20, 1996, an IV urea unit (POPKA) was built which aims to increase added value for residual Ammonia (Ammonia excess) and CO2 gas which is wasted into the atmosphere to produce granular urea products. The factory with a projected production capacity of 570,000 tons per year was completed on April 12, 1999. The investment value for the construction of the POPKA factory was US$44 million and Rp 139 billion.
The Kaltim 4 factory was built in 1999 with a projected capacity of 570,000 tons of urea granule and 330,000 tons of ammonia per year. Construction of the urea plant was completed in mid-2002, while the ammonia plant was completed in early 2003. In 2007, Pupuk Kaltim made the NPK factory fuse blending in Bontang to produce NPK with phosphates imported from Morocco.
The Kaltim 5 plant, which is planned to have a capacity of 1.2 million tons of urea per year, will soon be realized by the Kaltim-5 Factory PKT which will replace the existence of the Kaltim-1 factory unit which is likely to be closed because it is old and inefficient. To support Kaltim-5 operations, Pupuk Kaltim will also build an ammonia plant with a capacity of around 600,000 tons per year.
At present Pupuk Kaltim has five Urea fertilizer plants with a total capacity of 2.98 million tons of urea per year and four Ammonia plants with a total capacity of 1.85 million tons of Ammonia per year. While NPK fertilizer production is as much as 350,000 tons per year with factories in three cities, namely: Bontang, Semarang and Surabaya.[3]
Pupuk Kaltim currently owns a local TV station based in Bontang, Publik Khatulistiwa TV.
Products[edit]
The products produced by Pupuk Kaltim are as follows:[4]
- A compound that is soluble in water, CO (NH3) 2, with most of it is nitrogen content which is the main component of urine of mammals and other organisms such as fungi, as the end result of protein metabolism. Urea fertilizer is produced and prepared in bulk and granules.
- A chemical compound formed from two gases, nitrogen and hydrogen with NH3 chemical formula. Ammonia is used as a raw material in urea production.
- NPK Pelangi:
- NPK Pelangi is a new product intended to improve the welfare of farmers. This fertilizer has advantages such as increasing yield of more than 40%, easily stocked and directly seeped, the stem is stronger and resistant to fall, suitable for all types of plants, the soil becomes more fertile, nutrient available complete and balanced, made of quality materials, and safe for environment. NPK Pelangi is divided into 4, including: NPK Pelangi MAXI, NPK Pelangi UNGGUL, NPK Pelangi PRIMA, and NPK Pelangi SUPER.
- Zeorganik:
- Organic fertilizers from Pupuk Kaltim contain components of C-organic ingredients that function to increase soil fertility, also contain non-organic minerals that function to increase Cation Exchange Capacity (kTk) of land, so as to increase the efficiency of non-organic fertilizer use while reducing the rate of evaporation of water from the soil.
