Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
PT Pertamina (Persero) converts the entire 12 kg blue LPG cylinder into a tube Bright Gas. Vice President for Corporate Communication of PT Pertamina (Persero), Fajriyah Usman, explained that this exchange was carried out to improve services.
“It is not true that there is a withdrawal. In order to improve services for the community, especially regarding household gas needs, Pertamina is gradually exchanging the 12 kg ELPIJI product tube that has blue savings to Bright Gas,” said Fajriyah to CNNIndonesia.com, Sunday (17/10) .
Fajriyah explained that Pertamina will focus on distributing Bright Gas 12 kg pink. Fajriyah explained that pink colored gas is much safer than blue gas.
He also confirmed that Bright Gas charges the same price as blue Elpiji.
“In the future, the distribution will be focused on Bright Gas. Because actually these two products have the same content. The price is the same and Bright Gas is even equipped with a double spindle valve so it is safer to prevent leakage,” he explained.
The replacement scheme is when the user’s blue tube runs out of gas, then the government will exchange it for Bright Gas. Conversion is done gradually.
“So when people buy refills of 12 kg gas, they will be given a new Bright Gas cylinder if the stock at the agent is available. So it is done in stages. It does not mean that the blue cylinders will automatically no longer be valid,” he explained.
Fajriyah confirmed that gas replacement is free of charge. And the price of Bright Pink gas mentioned by Fajriyah is not different from the price of LPG in each region.
“The replacement of the tube is free of charge and the refill price remains the same as the ELPIJI blue tube,” he concluded.
