Prarancangan Pabrik Pembuatan N-Butil Asetat dari Asam Asetat dan Butanol Menggunakan Metode Reactive Distillation dan Pemisahan Membran Pervaporasi dengan Kapasitas Produksi 10.000 Ton/Tahun

Abstract

N-Butyl Acetate is a compound that can be obtained from the esterification process of acetate compounds and butyl alcohol compounds either in batch or continuously. N-Butyl Acetate is widely used as a solvent in various industries such as the paint and coating industry such as nail polish and printing ink, the cosmetics industry such as perfume, the food and beverage industry such as synthetic flavors, the textile industry, plastics and artificial leather, and the pharmaceutical industry. The pre-design of the n-butyl acetate manufacturing plant from acetic acid and butanol is designed with a production capacity of 10,000 tons/year and operates for 330 days a year. The factory location is planned to be built in the Java Integrated Industrial and Port Estate (JIIPE) Gresik Industrial area, which is located on Jl. Kig Raya, Manyar District, Gresik Regency, East Java, Indonesia with a factory area of 15,268 m2. The workforce required is 160 people with the factory business entity form being a Limited Liability Company (PT) with a line and staff organizational structure. The results of the economic evaluation show that the investment capital (CI) value is Rp. 541,359,582,913.90, the total production cost is Rp. 396,107,190,620.20 and sales profit is Rp. 534,815,453,365.90 with a net profit of Rp. 108,693,395,737. This factory is projected to reach the break-even point (BEP) at 53.425% capacity with a return on investment (POT) of 5 years and 2 months. Based on the results of the economic analysis, the factory design is considered feasible to be established.
