Pra Rancangan Pabrik Pembuatan Furfural dari Cangkang Kemiri Menggunakan Proses Suprayield dengan Kapasitas 330 Ton/Tahun

Abstract

The preliminary design of a furfural production plant from candlenut shells using the SupraYield process has a production capacity of 330 tons/year with an operating time of 330 days/year. This preliminary design consists of three stages: raw material preparation, hydrolysis and dehydration, and purification. The hydrolysis and dehydration reactions are carried out using 4 fluidized bed reactor units operating at a temperature of 167°C with a residence time of 3.5 hours. The amount of raw material required to meet the plant's annual production capacity is 238.33 kg/hour. The furfural production plant is planned to be built in Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province, with a total plant area of 6,380 m². The water requirement for this plant will first be treated from the Buih River at 3,249.12 kg/hour. The planned organizational form of this furfural production plant is a Limited Liability Company (PT) with a line and staff organizational structure and a total of 100 employees. The results of the economic analysis carried out in this preliminary design are as follows: 1. Capital Investment (CI) = Rp106.416.844.358,37 2. Total Cost (TC) = Rp49.299.190.451,79 3. Profit Margin (PM) = 44,49% 4. Break Event Point (BEP) = 36,05% 5. Return On Investment (ROI) = 25,49% 6. Return On Network (RON) = 42,48% 7. Pay Out Time (POT) = 3,92 years 8. Internal Rate of Return (IRR) = 28,04%

Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the furfural production plant from candlenut shells using the SupraYield process with a capacity of 330 tons/year is feasible to establish.
