| dc.description.abstract | Needs of dimethyl formamide in Indonesia keep increasing from year to year. But the absence of dimethyl formamide plant in Indonesia could not support the demand. So the demand of this product fully supported from the overseas. Therefore, the establishment of the factory will fullfill dimethyl formamide needs in the country, or at least can lower the import needs. Pre-design factory with a capacity of 25,000 Dimethyl formamide tons/year is designed to produce dimethyl formamide that meets the needs of the market standard. The plant will be operated for 330 days/year, and planned to be built in the province of Banten, Miri close to the harbour in order to facilitate the transportation of raw materials and final products. The factory will be operated for 330 days in a year with employees totalling 300 men.
The raw materials needed for production in the form of Dimethyl Amin and Methyl Format in to be imported from Japan, Dimethyl Amin from Mitsubishi Gas Chemical, Japan with a capacity of 75,000 tons/year and Methyl Format from Mitsubishi Gas Chemical, Japan with a capacity of 20,000 tons/years. The process was operated at temperature of 120 °C and pressure of 3.4 atm in a Shell and Tube (RAP) reactor with conversion reaction of 99%. The utilities needed are water coolers, water, steam and fuel which are 217,603,953 kg/j, 5568.00 j, 6,102,728 kg/kg/j and 286.00 lt/h, respectively the need for electricity from PLN of 175.99 Kwatt and a generator as a reserve.
Economic evaluation on this factory concluded that required capital investment amounting to Rp. 774.999.997.345, production cost is Rp. 789.585.926.175, profits before tax estimated at Rp. 152.914.073.824. and profit after tax is estimated at Rp. 122.331.259.060. Percent return on investement (ROI) before tax of 37.5% and (ROI) after tax of 30%. Pay Out Time (POT) before tax for the year and 2.10 (POT) after tax for the past 2.5 years. The value of the Break Even Point (BEP) factory was located at 42.19% and Shut Down Point (SDP) 20.60% with Discounted Cash Flow Rate (DCFR) 24.59%. Based on economic analysis, it was concluded that the plant with a capacity of 25,000 dimethyl formamide tons/year was low risk and decent to be established. | en_US |
