Prarancangan Pabrik Pembuatan n-Butil Asetat dari Asam Asetat dan Butanol dengan Kapasitas 14.000 Ton/Tahun

Abstract

The production of n-Butyl Acetate from acetic acid and butanol is carried out through an esterification reaction under operating conditions of 90°C and 1 atm pressure in a stirred tank reactor. The n-Butyl Acetate plant is planned to have a production capacity of 14,000 tons/year (1,767,677 kg/hour) and operate 330 days a year. This plant is expected to meet 36.7% of Indonesia's n-Butyl Acetate needs. The company's business entity is planned to be a Limited Liability Company (PT) and its organizational structure is staff, with a workforce of 108 people required. The results of the economic analysis of the design of the n-Butyl Acetate plant from Acetic Acid and Butanol show that the total investment capital is Rp.622,676,951,477.52. Total production costs are Rp.530,806,230,614.94. Sales revenue is Rp. 700,000,000,000.00. Net profit of Rp. 112,568,856,641.06. Profit Margin (PM) of 22.962%, Break Even Point (BEP) of 36.711%, Return on Investment (ROI) of 18.078%, Pay Out Time (POT) of 5.531 years, Return on Network (RON) of 30.13%, Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 24.48%. From the economic aspects, it can be concluded that the Preliminary Design of a Plant for the Production of n-Butyl Acetate from Acetic Acid and Butanol is feasible.
