Pra Rancangan Pabrik Pembuatan Metil Salisilat dengan Proses Esterifikasi Metanol dan Asam Salisilat dengan Kapasitas Produksi 4.500 Ton/Tahun dan Tugas Khusus Rancangan Keteknikan Evaporator

Abstract

This methyl salicylate production plant from salicylic acid and methanol with esterificartion process has a production capacity of 4.500 tons/year and operates for 330 days a year. The main process in the pre-design of this factory consists of three stages, namely the raw material preparation stage, the esterification reaction process, the neutralization reaction process, and the methyl salicylate purification process. The reaction is an esterification reaction of salicylic acid and methanol with a sulfuric acid catalyst which takes place in a stirred tank flow reactor at a temperature of 68oC. The amount of acetaldehyde required to achieve annual production capacity is 1.266,258 kg/hour. The planned factory location is in Brongsong Village, Kendal Regency, Central Java Province. with a total plant area of 13.034,3 m2. Water needs in this factory are supplied from the Waridin River as much as 2.086,85 kg/hour. The planned form of company organization is a Limited Liability Company (PT) with a line and staff organizational structure, and a total of 114 employees. For the establishment and operation of the factory it requires capital investment of IDR 194.242.087.335 and production costst of IDR 56.018.035.645. Based on the feasiblity analysis, this plant has a BEP 33%, ROI 23% POT for 5 years, RON 37,94%, and IRR of 21,68%. Based on the economic analysis, it can be concluded that plant is feasible to established
