Executive Summary Rancangan Pabrik Dimetil Karbonat Proses Oksidasi Karbonilasi Metanol Dengan Desain Alat Utama Kolom Distilasi Dimetil Karbonat (T-103)
ABSTRACT
Indonesia faces continued import needs for dimethyl carbonate (DMC) to satisfy domestic demand driven by growth in the automotive, electronics, biodiesel and lithium-ion battery industries. Global market analysis indicates a value of USD 1.17 billion and a production volume of 2 million tonnes of DMC in 2023, with a projected growth rate of 7% through 2032. Indonesia’s domestic demand for DMC is projected at approximately 65,700 tonnes in 2029, with imports remaining significant. In response, a more environmentally friendly DMC plant with a capacity of 30,000 tonnes/year has been designed for Desa Guntung, North Bontang, East Kalimantan. The proposed DMC production uses a methanol oxidation–carbonylation process with CuCl₂ as catalyst; by-products are water and dimethyl oxalate (DMO), the latter of which can be marketed. The reaction is carried out in a fixed-bed, multi-tube tubular reactor at 130°C and 2 MPa, followed by separation and purification via pressure-swing azeotropic distillation (PSA) to produce DMC at 99.7% purity. Plant utilities include wastewater treatment, supply of process/domestic/cooling water and boiler feedwater for steam, on-site power and steam generation, and compressed air for instrumentation and control. Based on the conducted economic analysis, the project yields a Net Present Value (NPV) of IDR 2,932,136,704,469, a Return on Investment (ROI) of 26.16%, a Break-Even Point (BEP) of 20.37%, a Payback Period (PBP) of 2.22 years, and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 16.13%. These profitability results indicate that the establishment of the DMC plant is economically viable.
