Prarancangan Pabrik Alkohol Lemak (Fatty Alcohol) Dari Cpo (Crude Palm Oil) Dengan Disain Alat Utama Menara Distilasi Metil Ester
ABSTRACT
Fatty Alcohol (fat alcohol) is a product of CPO processing. Fatty Alcohol is a derivative of
vegetable fats and animal oils and is a non-oil and gas export commodity that is needed in various
industries such as the perfume, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries. The
need for fatty alcohol continues to increase every year. The import of fatty alcohol has been
carried out but the demand for fatty alcohol has not been met. this led to the establishment of a
fatty alcohol factory with the main raw material being crude palm oil to cover this need. This
factory was built with a capacity of 130,000 tons/year which will be established in Pelintung,
Dumai. The fatty alcohol production process is carried out with 3 processes such as pretreatment,
transesterification and hydrogenation. The main equipment design in this factory is fatty alcohol
distillation which works to separate fatty alcohol as the top product from methyl ester as the base
product. The feed, distillate and bottom temperatures in this distillation tower are 170 oC, 160.969
oC and 330.336 oC with a pressure of 1 atm. The fatty alcohol distillation has 11.225 m (441.929
in) high, 1,859 m (73.191 in) outside diameter, and uses skirt support. Economic analysis on the
design of this plant shows that this plant is feasible to build with a factory Payback Period (PBP)
of 0.93 years and BEP at a capacity of 20 %.
