Prarancangan Pabrik Dimetil Eter Dari Tandan Kosong Sawit (Tks) Menggunakan Proses Indirect Synthesis Dengan Disain Alat Utama Destilasi Dimetil Eter
ABSTRACT
The level of LPG demand is increasing every year, even the import of LPG has
been carried out for a long time, but the need for LPG has not been fulfilled, this
has led to the establishment of a Dimethyl Ether (DME) factory to cover LPG
needs in Indonesia. DME can also be used as a propellant in aerosol form such as
hairspray, insecticide, and air freshener. The main raw material used in the
manufacture of DME is Oil Palm Empty Bunches (TKS). This factory is built with
a capacity of 50,000 tons / year which will be established in Pelintung, Medang
Kampai District, Dumai. The DME production process is carried out by the
Indirect Synthesis process where DME is made through 2 processes, namely
methanol synthesis from EFB and DME synthesis from methanol. Methanol
synthesis and DME synthesis occur in 2 different reactors where methanol is first
synthesized then dehydrated to DME. The main equipment design in this plant is
the DME Distillation which functions to separate DME as the top product from
Methanol and water as the basic product. The feed, distillate and bottom
temperatures in this distillation tower are 48,10C, 33,70C and 231.40C with a
pressure of 9 atm. , 97 m. Economic analysis on the design of this factory shows
xiv
that this factory is feasible to be established with a factory Payback Period (PBP)
of 2.29 years and a BEP at a capacity of 38%.
