Prarancangan Pabrik 1-Hexana Dari Etilen Menggunakan Proses Alphahexol Dengan Disain Alat Utama Menara Distilasi O-Xylene
ABSTRACT
1-Hexene is a raw material in plastic production and classified as a linear alpha
olefin compound. 1-Hexane is produced from the ethylene trimerization process.
The use of 1-hexene in the production of High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and
linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is one of the co-monomers. The use of
1-hexane in the manufacture of HDPE and LLDPE is about 2 - 4% and 8 - 10% of
the co-monomer. HDPE and LLDPE are used as packaging for food and
beverages. The need for 1-hexana in Indonesia is increasing over time, but in
Indonesia there is no factory to produces 1-hexene. The increasing need for
imports will reduce the source of foreign exchange for the country. So that the
establishment of the 1-hexene plant can reduce the need for imports and can
increase the country's foreign exchange. The main design is an o-xylene tower
which functions to separate o-xylene from the mixture. The type of distillation
column used is the tray column. The operating conditions at the distillation
column are temperature of 204 °C at the top stage and 270 ° C bars at the bottom
stage with pressure at 4 bar respectively. Plant economic analysis is carried out
to determine the feasibility of the factory to be built. Based on the results of the
economic feasibility analysis of the factory, the 1-hexana plant is feasible to build
with a PBB of 2 years, an IRR of 22.7433%, an ROI of 39.388%, and a BEP of
54%.
