ABSTRACT Indonesia has exported ten shipments of acetophenone through three suppliers to various countries, including China, Japan, and Singapore. However, Indonesia still imports acetophenone from several countries due to insufficient domestic supply. This situation presents a significant opportunity to establish a local plant to meet domestic demand and compete with international producers f…
ABSTRACT Hydrogen (H2) is the first and lightest element in the periodic table and the most abundant in the universe. When used as fuel, hydrogen has the highest energy content, the lowest volume density, and the lowest buoyancy. Green hydrogen is considered more effective because it does not produce emissions (zero emission). Moreover, using renewable energy sources can support sustainable pr…
ABSTRACT Ammonium Nitrate is a chemical that is often used as an explosive for coal mining, mineral mining, military explosives, and can also be used as fertilizer and anesthetic. Ammonium nitrate is formed from the neutralization reaction of ammonia and nitric acid using the UHDE process. Neutralization occurs in a bubble reactor. The ammonium nitrate output from the reactor flows into the …
ABSTRACT Propylene oxide is a compound used as a reaction intermediate in the production of polyether polyol, propylene glycol, ether glycol and ethylene glycol. Supply for propylene oxide in Indonesia is by importing from Germany, Singapore, Japan and China. Until now, no propylene oxide factory has been established in Indonesia. In order to meet the demand for propylene oxide, a propylen…
ABSTRACT Industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly due to increasing community needs. One industry that continues to increase is the chemical industry, such as the paint, ink, perfume and cosmetics industries. One of the compounds needed in this industry is ethyl acetate. Imports of ethyl acetate are relatively large, namely around 85,000 tons per year, so it is necessary to build an Ethyl Acet…
ABSTRACT Acrylic acid is an important chemical in the industrial world because acrylic acid is an intermediate chemical that is widely used in industrial production processes and consumer products. Acrylic acid is mainly used as a raw material in the manufacture of acrylic esters, as a monomer for polyacrylic acid and its salts, as a comonomer for use as a flocculent and ion exchange resin p…
ABSTRACT Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, low-viscosity organic compound that makes the liquid hygroscopic. Ethylene glycol is used to add fiber to polyester, PET containers, antifreeze and coolant to engines in all weather conditions. In Indonesia, there are not many ethylene glycol factories or producers so that imports are made to meet the needs. Therefore, ethylene glycol proces…
ABSTRACT This research aims to design a Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) plant using the Phillips STAR process with the main tool design for the Esterification reactor (R- 101). MTBE is used as a fuel additive to increase octane number, reduce pollutant emissions, and improve engine performance. The factory is planned to be located in Bukit Batu District, Bengkalis Regency, Riau, under the name …
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 t…
ABSTRACT Caprolactam is one of the petrochemical industry products that is currently increasingly needed. The use of caprolactam products in the industrial world is very extensive. This can be seen from its use in the caproic amino acid plastics industry, polyurethanes, car paints, and mainly used as raw material for nylon-6. Caprolactam is also required in the film, imitation leather, synth…
ABSTRACT Terephthalic acid is an organic compound that is commonly used as a raw material for making polyester terephthalate, polyester filament yarn, and polyester staple fiber, and is also used to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Demand for terephthalic acid is increasing along with industrial development, especially the plastics and textile industries. The use of PET is usually…
ABSTRACT Propylene oxide is a compound used as a precursor for various chemicals such as polyester resin, propylene glycol, and polyurethane. Supply for propylene oxide in Indonesia is by importing from Germany, Singapore, Japan and China. In order to meet the demand for propylene oxide, a propylene oxide plant with a capacity of 60,000 tons per year was designed to be established in the Indra…
ABSTRACT Indonesia is one of the developing countries, which continues to experience growth. The need for acrylonitrile is quite a lot in Indonesia. But currently, the need for acrylonitrile is met by imports from other countries. Acrylonitrile is used as a chemical intermediate component in the manufacture of acrylic fibers, plastics, synthetic rubber and many other products. The purpose of…
ABSTRACT Dimethyl terephthalate is a chemical compound with the formula C10H10O4. This compound is a diester obtained from the esterification reaction between terephthalic acid and methanol. This compound is a white solid that melts to produce a colorless liquid that can be distilled. This factory is planned to operate for 330 days per year and work continuously 24 hours/day with a capacit…

ABSTRACT Biodiesel is an alternative energy that can replace diesel fuel. The process of making biodiesel in the triglyceride transesterification reaction produces a byproduct called glycerol, which is approximately 10% of the amount of biodiesel produced. Currently, glycerol has not been processed much so it still has a low selling value. Therefore, glycerol processing is necessary in order t…
