Technology Collaboration Between Ecolab and Pertamina Geothermal Energy Sets New Benchmark for Energy Performance
Integrating Ecolab’s 3D TRASAR™ and PGE’s Flow2Max® technologies to enhance geothermal power generation
Jakarta, Indonesia — Ecolab with PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk (PGE) announces the launch of 3D TRASAR™ Technology for Geothermal with Flow2Max® Two-Phase Flow Meter Technology. The innovation combines both technologies, delivering a new level of operational data intelligence, resource efficiency, and asset protection for the geothermal industry.
Transforming Geothermal Energy Operations Through Integrated Innovation
3D TRASAR™ Technology for Geothermal with Flow2Max® is a landmark in geothermal efficiency, integrating real-time monitoring, data intelligence, and automation program control to help address the industry’s long-standing challenges of scaling and flow variability, improving reservoir sustainability while reducing maintenance costs.
The technology system’s combined capabilities are designed to enable geothermal operators to:
• Conduct online monitoring of mass flow rate and enthalpy of two-phase (liquid and vapor) flow with precision Flow2Max®.
• Predict and inhibit asset scaling using Ecolab’s advanced 3D TRASAR™ Technology for Geothermal.
• Integrate field data and digital analytics via ECOLAB3D™ for data-driven actionable decision-making and long-term efficiency.
• Support reservoir sustainability with precise chemical dosing and process control.
“Through this collaboration with Pertamina Geothermal Energy, we are setting a new performance benchmark for geothermal energy,” said Evan Jayawijayanto, President Director of Ecolab International Indonesia. “3D TRASAR™ Technology for Geothermal with Flow2Max® can enable our customers in the geothermal industry to operate smarter, safer, and more sustainably by using actionable data to protect their assets.”
“Flow2Max® is a homegrown innovation that elevates Indonesia’s geothermal capabilities on the global stage. By integrating with Ecolab’s automation and digital intelligence, we are creating a world-class solution that not only enhances performance but also contributes to Indonesia’s and the world’s renewable energy goals.”

As Indonesia pursues its target of generating 25% of its total energy mix from renewable sources by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 — according to the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR, November 2022), geothermal energy is expected to play a leading role. This offering realizes this vision by supporting geothermal asset operation at their highest efficiency, with a reduced environmental footprint.
Ecolab and PGE’s cooperation reinforce a shared commitment to ESG-driven innovation, supporting cleaner, more efficient energy generation that advances both economic and environmental goals. The collaboration between Ecolab International Indonesia and Pertamina Geothermal Energy follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2024, focused on developing, manufacturing, and globally implementing Flow2Max® technology.
