Elessent Clean Technologies recently confirmed the opening of its new office in Jakarta, Indonesia, a press release reported.
“The Jakarta office is Elessent’s sixth location serving the Asia Pacific market. The opening of the office demonstrates our commitment to serving this critical region. We’re pleased to bring first-class M&R solutions to sulfuric acid production facilities during a time of significant expansion in metal extraction,” said Kanson Xue, director of Asia Pacific, Elessent.
The new establishment will offer a wide range of technical services, while prioritizing the improvement of maintenance and reliability of local sulfuric acid plants.
With the subsidiary name PT MECS MandR Solution, Elessent’s Jakartan’s establishment date was Dec. 7.
MECS technology, licensed and marketed by Elessent Clean Technologies, currently serves over 400 licensed acid plants across the globe. The launch comes as demand for metals, such as nickel and copper, rises. Indonesia was chosen as the location for the new addition due to its top-rated performance as a miner for metals.
As a result of the global transition to net zero carbon emissions, demand has also increased for electric vehicles, wind energy technologies, batteries and fuel cells.
“Elessent’s foundation was built, in large part, on the desire to change our world through sustainability and carbon neutrality efforts, and we couldn’t be more excited about the opportunities that our office in Indonesia will bring. We always strive to ensure our clients have the ability to meet their industry’s growth needs through the most environmentally conscious methods, and as a global leader in sulfuric acid technology licensing and expertise, our close proximity to clients will be a massive asset with the ongoing demand for battery metals,” said Eli Ben-Shoshan, CEO, Elessent.
