Executive Summary Prarancangan Pabrik Asam Benzoat Proses Oksidasi Toluena Dengan Desain Alat Utama Flash Drum (Fd-101)
ABSTRACT
Benzoic acid is an intermediate material needed in Indonesia. The benzoic acid plant is designed with a production capacity of 18,000 tons per year. The raw materials used are toluene and oxygen, with the assistance of cobalt acetate catalyst through the toluene oxidation reaction. The average import of benzoic acid in Indonesia is 8,339 tons per year (BPS, 2023). It is expected that the establishment of this first benzoic acid plant in Indonesia will meet both domestic and international demand.
The plant is planned to be located in Kuripan Kidul Village, Kesugihan District, Cilacap Regency, Central Java. The raw material of propene is supplied by PT Pertamina RU IV Cilacap. The benzoic acid plant requires a significant amount of power, so an internal power substation and other power sources will be built within the plant area. Each piece of equipment in the benzoic acid plant is equipped with a control system to maintain process variable values at set points, and safety is ensured through valve control and alarms.
The results of the economic analysis for total capital investment (TCI) amounted to IDR 628,037,268,276, working capital investment (WCI) amounted to IDR 94,205,590,241 and total production costs (TPC) amounted to IDR 536,653,248,699. Revenue from sales of benzoic acid products is 1,205,353,759,488/year. Benzoic acid factory profitability analysis is determined based on the return on investment (ROI), payback period (PBP), internal rate of return (IRR), break even point (BEP), and net present value (NPV). Calculation of return on investment (ROI) for the benzoic acid factory is 25.417%. Calculation of the payback period (PBP) for the benzoic acid factory for 2 years 10 months 15 days. The calculation of the internal rate of return (IRR) for the benzoic acid factory is 20.068%. Calculation of the break even point (BEP) for the benzoic acid plant at a production capacity of 25.286%. Calculation of the net present value (NPV) of the benzoic acid factory is IDR 131,125,591,679.00. with a discount rate of 19%. Profitability analysis shows that the toluene oxidation process benzoic acid plant is feasible to establish and is an attractive investment.
