Prarancangan Pabrik Pembuatan Crude Coconut Oil (CCO) dengan Proses Direct Micro Expelling (DME) Kapasitas 7.000 Ton/Tahun

Abstract

Indonesia has great potential for developing coconut-based derivative products, especially in North Sumatra, which is one of the regions with the highest coconut production. One of its leading products is Crude Coconut Oil (CCO), which is widely utilized across various industries. Compared to other vegetable oils, CCO possesses high economic and functional value. The increasing domestic demand for CCO encourages the need for a more efficient and high-quality production process, such as the Direct Micro Expelling (DME) method, which produces high-quality oil without requiring a fermentation stage as in conventional methods. The preliminary design of a CCO plant using the DME process has a capacity of 7,000 tons per year and operates 330 days annually. The plant is planned to be located on vacant land in West Nias Regency, North Sumatera Province. The objective of this plant design is to apply chemical engineering principles, including mass and energy balances, equipment specifications, chemical process operations, process design, utilities, and other aspects of chemical engineering. Total capital investment : Rp 2.860.761.515.075 Production cost : Rp 981.854.201.614 Sales revenue : Rp 710.341.441.429 Net profit : Rp 149.526.281.154 Profit margin : 32,32% Break even point : 39,58% Return on investment : 25,79% Pay out time : : 3 years 10 months Return on network : : 42,98% Internal rate of return : 32,03% Based on the economic analysis, it is concluded that the establishment of a crude coconut oil is considered feasible.
