Prarancangan Pabrik Stirena Proses Ebmax (Badger) Dengan Desain Alat Utama Reaktor Alkilasi (R-101)
ABSTRACT
Styrene (C6H5CH=CH2) is the simplest aromatic monomer and is a petrochemical product that is widely used to make synthetic rubber and plastics. Styrene is known commercially as styrene monomer (SM), styrene is produced in large quantities for polymerization. In this design, a styrene plant will be built with a capacity of 50,000 tons/year in the industrial area of Dumai City, Riau. Styrene will be made using ethylbenzene as raw material through a dehydrogenation reaction (Badger) in the gas phase. Ethylbenzene is first produced using the EBmax process, through alkylation and transalkylation reactions with ethylene (99%) and excess benzene in the liquid phase. The styrene plant is planned to operate for 330 days a year while the rest of the time will be used for shutdown, maintenance and repair of equipment. The company established is in the form of a Limited Liability Company (PT) with a line and staff company organizational structure. The employee work system consists of a shift system for operating and utility unit employees, while office employees use a non-shift system. The main tool designed in this design is an alkylation reactor (R-101) with a fixedbed multiturbular type as a place to react ethylene with benzene using MCM-22 catalyst. The design results show that the reactor height is 13.2457 m and the diameter is 1.870 m. Factory profitability analysis obtained a Break Even Point (BEP) of 43%, Rate Of Return (ROI) of 40.3369%, Internal Rate Of Return (IRR) of 22.8236% and Payout Time (POT) of 2.5 years. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the styrene plant is economically feasible to establish.
