Prarancangan Pabrik Pembuatan Soap Noodle dari Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Oil (RBDPO) Menggunakan Proses Saponifikasi dengan Kapasitas Produksi 40.000 Ton/Tahun

Abstract

The preliminary design of the soap noodle plant from RBDPO using the saponification process has a production capacity of 40,000 tons/year and operates for 330 days a year. The main process in the preliminary design of this factory consist of four stages, namely the raw material preparation stage, the saponification and separation stage, the neutralization and mixing stage and the drying stage. The reaction is a saponification reaction that takes place in a continued stirred tank reactor (CSTR) which operated at a temperature of 120°C and a pressure of 2 bar with a residence time of 30 minutes. The factory for making soap noodle from RBDPO using the saponification process is planned to be established in the Sei Mangkei Special Economic Zone (KEK) area located in Simalungun Regency, North Sumatra with a total area of 14,751 m2. The workforce required is 194 people in the form of a Limited Liability Company or Perseroan Terbatas (PT) with a line and staff organizational structure. For the establishment and operation of the factory requires investment capital of IDR 357.032.538.292 and production costs of IDR 456.643.330.885. Based on the feasibility analysis, this plant has a BEP of 44,464%, ROI of 23,386%, POT for 4.28 years, RON of 38,976%, and IRR of 29,684%. From the results of the economic analysis. Based on the results of the economic analysis, it can be concluded that the preliminary design is feasible to be established.
