CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Rationale
Air is an important factor in life that must be protected for survival. Air pollution
is the entry or inclusion of substances, energy, and other components into the ambient
air by human activities, so that ambient air quality drops to a certain level that causes
ambient air can nott fulfill its function (PP RI No. 41/1999).
Industrial development is increasing in line with the development of science.
Increasing population growth rate brings correlation of increasing food demand
followed by increased production in the agricultural sector, as well as the construction
of chemical fertilizer factories. The consequence of industrial development process is
the increase of waste issued by the industry including air waste that can change the
ambient air quality (Fardiaz S 1997). Development without accompanied by good
environmental management efforts can lead to air pollution either directly or indirectly.
PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang is one of the largest urea fertilizer industry and
the first built in Indonesia. The main products of PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang are
ammonia and urea, besides fertilizer factories also produce air pollution emissions
which can affect human health and environment. Therefore it is necessary to control and
monitor the quality of ambient emissions and air quality continuously and coordinated
in the factory environment of PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang and around with
reference to Governor Regulation of South Sumatera. 6 of 2012 on the Standard of NonMoving Source Emissions, Decree of the Minister of Environment No. 133 of 2004
(Attachment 1) on Emission Quality Standards for Fertilizer Industry Activities.

CHAPTER II. LITERATURE REVIEW
Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most commonly produced industrial chemicals. It
is used in industry and commerce, and also exists naturally in humans and in the
environment. Ammonia is essential for many biological processes and serves as a
precursor for amino acid and nucleotide synthesis. In the environment, ammonia is part
of the nitrogen cycle and is produced in soil from bacterial processes. Ammonia is also
produced naturally from decomposition of organic matter, including plants, animals and
animal wastes (New York State Department of Health (2004).
About 90% of the ammonia produced by industry is used in agriculture as
fertilizer. Ammonia is also used as a refrigerant gas, for purification of water supplies,
and in the manufacture of plastics, explosives, textiles, pesticides, dyes and other
chemicals. It is found in many household and industrial-strength cleaning solutions.
Household ammonia cleaning solutions are manufactured by adding ammonia gas to
water and can be between 5 and 10% ammonia (Chemical Safety Facts 2018).
Ammonia solutions for industrial use may be concentrations of 25% or higher
and are corrosive Most people are exposed to ammonia from inhalation of the gas or
vapors. Since ammonia exists naturally and is also present in cleaning products,
exposure may occur from these sources. The widespread use of ammonia on farms and
in industrial and commercial locations also means that exposure can occur from an
accidental release or from a deliberate terrorist attack.
3
Anhydrous ammonia gas is lighter than air and will rise, so that generally it
dissipates and does not settle in low-lying areas. However, in the presence of moisture
(such as high relativehumidity), the liquefied anhydrous ammonia gas forms vapors that
are heavier than air. These vapors may spread along the ground or into low-lying areas
with poor airflow where people may become exposed.
Ammonia interacts immediately upon contact with available moisture in the skin,
eyes, oral cavity, respiratory tract, and particularly mucous surfaces to form the very
caustic ammonium hydroxide. Ammonium hydroxide causes the necrosis of tissues
through disruption of cell membrane lipids (saponification) leading to cellular
destruction. As cell proteins break down, water is extracted, resulting in an inflammatory
response that causes further damage (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
2015).

3.2. Tools and Equipment
The Tools and equipment that used in implementation of measuring ammonia
level at prilling tower, among others are:
3.2.1. Dreager Ammonia Tubes
Draeger Ammonia Detector Tubes are a reliable way to detect harmful levels of
NH3 with incredible accuracy. Coming in a box of 10, the tubes feature well-spaced
5
graduation marks and a wide diameter. The tubes are easy to understand and offer
results within a 10 percent (+/-) deviation accuracy.
Draeger tubes have been the standard ever since they pioneered colorimetric gas
detection back in the 1930s. Draeger tubes offer detection for 500 gases using more
than 200 tubes. Using a Draeger Accuro Manual Pump, getting an accurate and fast
reading anywhere without much effort at all.

3.2.2. Draeger Accuro Manual Tube Pump
The Draeger Accuro Manual Pump works with Draeger Tubes for a reliable and
convenient testing method for spot measurements such as the detection of
concentration peaks, confined space entry, and worst-case scenarios. The Draeger
Tubes Accuro Pump is popular for its spot-on and quick results. With just a few
pumps and without electricity, this device works with the tubes to deliver readings
often within a 10 percent deviation of the results.

3.3 Data Collection Methods
The methods that were used in the implementation of Field Work Practices
(FWP), among others are:
(a) Literacy Study is a method of collecting data by searching references and literature
related to activities that will be complementary and comparison data with existing data.
(b) Observation is data collection conducted by direct observation accompanied by
practice at PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang.
(c) Interview is the method of taking data verbally. Interviews were conducted to get
explanation and clarification on the technical issues that occurred in the field by asking
directly to the relevant parties.

CHAPTER IV. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF PT. PUPUK SRIWIDJAJA
PALEMBANG
4.1. History of PT. Pupuk Sriwidjaja
PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang is the first urea factory in Indonesia established
on December 24, 1959 in Palembang, South Sumatera. This company is a State Owned
Enterprise (SOE) in the form of PT (Persero), where all its shares are owned by the
government through the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia and in its
implementation delegated to the Ministry of Industry and Utilization of SOEs. The name
Sriwidjaja enshrined to commemorate the glory of the Indonesian kingdom that once
brought the archipelago to the top of glory in about the 7th century ago. August 14, 1961
was an important milestone in the history of PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang because
on that date the construction of the first fertilizer factory known as Pusri I factory was
established.
PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja was established approximately 7 km from the center of
Palembang City, on the edge of the Musi River. PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja has a total area of
500 ha with front facing to Jalan Mayor Zen. Land area used for factory location is 20.47
Ha, while land area for employee housing is 26.53 ha. The reserve location prepared for
41.7965 ha is intended for inventory expansion of factory complex and employee
housing.
In 1963, the Pusri I Factory started production with an installed capacity of 100.
000 tons of urea and 59.400 tons of ammonia every year. During the period 1972 to
1977, the company has built a number of Pusri II, Pusri III, and Pusri IV factories due
to increased fertilizer demand. Pusri Factory II has an installed capacity of 380.000 tons
9
every year. In 1994, the Pusri II factory conducted urea optimization project to 552.000
tons every year. The Pusri III and Pusri IV plants built in 1976 and 1977 have the same
installed capacity of 570 000 tons of urea. On December 12, 1994, an effort was made
to rejuvenate and increase the production capacity of the plant by inaugurating the Pusri
IB factory with a capacity of 570 000 urea tons every year to replace the Pusri I plant
that was discontinued for reasons of reduced efficiency.
In 2010, the separation (Spin Off) of PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja Company to PT Pupuk
Sriwidjaja Palembang and transfer of rights and obligations as stated in the Amendment
of Articles of Association of PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja through Notarial Deed of Fathiah
Helmi, SH. 14 dated November 12, 2010 which has been ratified by the Minister of
Justice and Human Rights dated December 13, 2010. AHU-57993.AH.01.01 Year 2010.
Since April 18, 2012, the Minister of SOEs Dahlan Iskan inaugurated PT. Pupuk
Indonesia Holding Company (PIHC) as the new chief company of fertilizer, replacing
PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja (persero). Until now, PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang still use
brand and trademark Pupuk Sriwidjaja.
The optimization project known as the Ammonia Optimization Project (AOP) for
Pusri-II, III, and IV and Urea Optimization Project (UOP) for Pusri-II is done to improve
efficiency and saving of raw materials by PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja in collaboration with
licensor process as consultant. The project has several advantages:
(1). Ammonia Factory PUSRI-II, III, and IV increased production by 20% and natural
gas savings by 10%.
(2). Urea PUSRI-II Factory has increased production by 50% and 10% natural gas
consumption savings.
10
The optimal process of PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja is done by having total installed capacity
of 2.280.000 tons of urea every year and 1.324.000 tons of ammonia every year as shown
in Table 1.
