Prarancangan Pabrik Stirena Proses Ebmax (Badger) Dengan Desain Alat Utama Reaktor Dehidrogenasi (R-103)
ABSTRACT
Styrene is a petrochemical product that is widely used to make synthetic rubber. Styrene (C6H5CH=CH2) is the simplest aromatic monomer and by far the most important monomer. Styrene is also known commercially as styrene monomer (SM), styrene is produced in large quantities for polymerization. In this design, styrene is made using ethylbenzene as raw material through a dehydrogenation reaction (badger) in the gas phase. The raw material for stilbenzene was first produced by the Ebmax process through alkylation and transalkylation reactions with ethylene (99%) and excess benzene in the liquid phase. The styrene factory to be built with a capacity of 50,000 toms/year is located in the industrial area of Dumai City, Riau. The styrene plant is planned to operate for 330 days a year while the remaining time will be used for shutdown, maintenance and repair of equipment. The company established is in the form of a Limited Liability Company with a line and staff company organizational structure. The employee work system consists of a shift and non-shift system. The main tool designed in this factory design is the Dehydrogenation Reactor (R-103) with a multiturbular fixed bed type. The results of the feasibility analysis for this styrene plant show that the Return on Investment (ROI) after tax is 40.36% and the Pay Out Time (POT) after tax is 2.47 years with a maximum acceptable payout time of 2-5 years. Meanwhile, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is 22.74% with the condition that it is feasible to establish IRR> interest rates of 22.55% and a Break Event Point (BEP) value of 43.3%, this value fulfills the requirements because the BEP for chemical factories in generally ranges from 40% -60%. Based on the results of the feasibility analysis of the styrene from ethylbenzene plant design, it was found that this plant was feasible to establish because it met the requirements of a chemical plant feasibility analysis.
