| dc.description.abstract | This methyl chloride from methanol and hydrochloride acid plant is designed
with the capacity of40,000 ton/year, with minimum 99.50 %methyl chloride content
in the product. This plant will operate 330 days a year. This plant will need
methanol as raw matereal 28.072 tons/year and hydrochloride acid 79.673 tons/year.
We plan to build this plant at industrial zone in east Kalimantan, will use about 5
hectar area and 135 total workers. This methyl chloride production could be devided
into three major step, the first step is raw matereal preparation, vapourize methanol
and hydrocloride and make theese vopours suitable as reactor feed at 623 Kand 1.30
atm. The next step is chemical reaction between methanol vapour and hydrochloride
acid vapour over alumina gel catalist with 95 %of methanol is converted to methyl
choride. The last step from methyl chloride production is product purification with
minimum 99.50 %methyl choride content in the product. This plant will need water
about 20,000 kg water/hour, fuel oil about 705 kg/j kg/hour, plant and pressure
control air 27.820 kg/j, and total electricity 500 kW. The plant will need totalfixed
capital investment Rp 244,000,000,000.-, and working capital Rp.247.015.895.850,-.
This is low risk plant, from economic evaluation we know that net profit after taxes
about Rp 52,881,711,763.-/ year, with Rate ofReturn on Investment (ROI) 21.69 %,
Pay out Time ( POT) 3.16 years, Break Event Point (BEP) 44,678 %design
capacity, Shut Down Point ( SDP) 25,923 %design capacity, and Discounted Cash
Flow ( DCF) 32,52%. Base on theese results we have conclusion that this methyl
choride from methanol and hydrochloride acid plant with capacity 40,000 tons
product /year is interesting. | en_US |
