Prarancangan Pabrik Asam Benzoat Dari Toluena Proses Oksidasi Dengan Desain Alat Utama Crystallizer (V-103)
ABSTRACT
Indonesia is one of the developing countries that has been actively involved in development across various sectors, especially in the chemical industry. The benzoic acid industry in Indonesia is one with promising prospects. Benzoic acid is utilized as a preservative, flavor enhancer, additive, nucleating agent, intermediary, and stabilizer or catalyst. The pre-design objective of this plant is to fulfill domestic benzoic acid demands, save foreign exchange reserves, create opportunities for other factories utilizing benzoic acid as raw material, and generate new job opportunities to reduce unemployment rates. The plant proposed location is in the industrial area of Cilacap Tengah District, Cilacap Regency, Central Java Province, with a production capacity of 15,000 tons per year, utilizing an crystallizer (V-103) as the primary equipment. Economic feasibility analysis indicates that establishing a benzoic acid factory is viable, with a Payback Period (PBP) of 3.828 years, Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 22.7322%, Return on Investment (ROI) of 26.120%, and Break-Even Point (BEP) of 51.219%.
Keywords: benzoic acid, plant, crystallizer, economics.
