PRARANCANGAN PABRIK BENZOTRIKLORIDA DARI TOLUEN PROSES KLORINASI DENGAN DESAIN ALAT UTAMA REAKTOR BATCH (R-101)
Benzotrichloride was a derivative of toluene. Benzotrichloride was widely used in
the synthetic dye industry, organic synthesis, as an intermediate in the chemical
industry, in the production of benzoyl chloride, chlorinated toluenes,
benzotrifluoride, benzoic acid, and as an intermediate for dyes. The demand for
benzotrichloride in Indonesia and globally continued to increase, giving the
benzotrichloride industry a promising outlook for the future. The process used in
the preliminary design of the benzotrichloride plant was the chlorination process.
Benzotrichloride was synthesized from toluene, which was reacted with chlorine
gas at a temperature of 70°C and a pressure of 1 atm in a batch reactor with the
aid of light to enhance the chlorination rate. The economic analysis of the plant
showed a return on investment (ROI) of 27.91%, a payback period (PBP) of 2 years
and 8 months, an internal rate of return (IRR) of 22.72%, and a break-even point
(BEP) of 40%. Based on this economic analysis, it could be concluded that a
benzotrichloride plant from toluene using the chlorination process was feasible to
establish.
