What Pt Krakatau Tirta Industri does

PT Krakatau Tirta Industri (KTI) is an Indonesian state-owned industrial water services company established in 1979 as a subsidiary of PT Krakatau Steel (Persero) TBK and part of the Chandra Asri Group. The company supplies clean water, high-purity industrial process water (including demineralized and desalinated water), and wastewater treatment/reuse services to heavy industrial customers, industrial estate operators, and government utilities. Its technology stack spans conventional treatment (coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection), advanced treatment (ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, mixed bed polishing, ion exchange), seawater desalination via SWRO, and wastewater biotreatment/MBR systems. KTI operates from Cilegon, Banten with a Jakarta representative office.

KTI delivers services through five engagement models tailored to customer capital and operational preferences: BOO (Build-Own-Operate), BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer), ROT (Rehabilitate-Operate-Transfer), EPC, and O&M. EPC and O&M services are executed through its wholly-owned subsidiary PT Krakatau Tirta Operasi dan Pemeliharaan (KTOP), while a second subsidiary PT Krakatau Blue Water supports reuse and treatment projects. Across more than a dozen facilities, KTI runs total installed capacity exceeding 3,000 LPS, with reported production losses below 0.75%, distribution losses below 2%, and 24/7 supply continuity. Named industrial customers include PT Krakatau Steel, PT Krakatau Posco, PT Mitsubishi Chemical Indonesia, PT Amman Mineral Industri, PT Latinusa Tbk, and PDAM Giri Tirta Gresik (the latter via BOT).

The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to large industrial accounts under multi-year contracts; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. KTI's customer mix is concentrated in steel, chemicals, and mining/smelting verticals, anchored by group-entity demand. Recent strategic activity includes the 2022 ground-breaking of the DDWS Sumbawa desalination and demin water project for PT Amman Mineral Industri, indicating geographic expansion beyond Java.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Aetra Air Tangerang: Indonesian piped water utility serving parts of Tangerang under a regional concession model. Comparable to KTI on Indonesian water utility operations and tariff-regulated service delivery, though concentrated in residential/municipal water rather than industrial process water.
• Moya Indonesia: Indonesian water and wastewater utility operator running municipal water concessions (e.g. Palembang, Tangerang). Comparable to KTI on BOT-style water utility operations and public-sector water service contracts in Indonesia, but focused on municipal rather than industrial customers.

Broad incumbents

• Ecolab: Global provider of water, hygiene and infection-prevention solutions, with a large industrial water services business serving heavy industry, food & beverage, and chemicals. Overlaps with KTI on industrial water treatment, boiler/cooling programs and outsourced plant programs, often competing for large industrial accounts in Southeast Asia.
• Xylem Inc. Global water technology company providing pumps, treatment systems, smart metering and services for utilities, industrial and commercial customers. Comparable to KTI as a full-scope industrial/municipal water provider, with increasing focus on digitally enabled treatment and asset management.
• Pentair: Global water solutions company supplying treatment, filtration and flow technologies for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Comparable to KTI on industrial water treatment and reuse equipment supply, though more equipment- and channel-oriented than KTI's utility/BOO service model.
• Suez Water Technologies & Solutions: Major global water services and technology provider serving industrial clients with treatment chemicals, equipment and outsourced operations. Comparable to KTI in delivering outsourced industrial water (demin, RO, reuse) and O&M services, and an active bidder in Indonesian industrial water tenders.
• Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions: Global leader in water and wastewater treatment services for industrial and municipal customers, with established operations across Southeast Asia. Directly comparable to KTI in industrial process water, demin, desalination and wastewater reuse, and a key competitor for non-captive Indonesian industrial mandates.

Direct peers

• Organo Corporation: Japanese pure and ultrapure water specialist serving semiconductor, pharmaceutical, power and general industrial customers, with growing Asian industrial water services presence. Comparable to KTI on high-purity demin and RO system design/build/operate for industrial customers, particularly in steel and chemicals.
• Kurita Water Industries: Japanese specialty water and process treatment company focused on industrial ultrapure water, boiler/cooling water and wastewater treatment for heavy industry and electronics. Closely comparable to KTI on industrial demin water, plant O&M and chemicals-and-equipment integrated service offerings for steel, chemical and smelter customers.

Others

• PT Adhi Karya (Persero) Tbk: Indonesian state-owned construction and EPC company, and a listed implementation partner on KTI's Cipasauran Dam and WTP Cidanau project. Comparable as an Indonesian water infrastructure EPC contractor and JV partner, though Adhi's scope is broader than KTI's dedicated water services focus.
