| dc.description.abstract | Sodium nitrate industry in Indonesia is one of the chemical plant which
has a quite good prospects. Sodium nitrate product has a broad enough market
such as industrial ethyl acetate, and also used as a semi-finished material for
making chemicals.
Sodium nitrate factory with raw material of sodium hydroxide and nitric
acid with a capacity of 15.000 ton / year is planned to operate for 330 days / year.
The factory was established in Karawang, West Java, with a land area of 15.004
m2 and 145 employees. Sodium hydroxide needs for this factory are 1.009.0808
kg / hour and needs for nitrate acid as much as 1.315.0057 kg / hour. The product
of sodium nitrate as much as 1.738.7298 kg / hour. The process of making
sodium nitrate performed continuously in RATB. In the reactor, exothermic
reaction takes place in the process of synthesis reaction and occurs at 60 °C with
a pressure of 1 atm.
From the economic analysis of this plant, it shown Return On Investment
(ROI) 37,29% before tax and 18,64% after tax. Pay Out Time (POT) 2,11 years
before tax and 3,82 years after tax. Break Even Point (BEP) by 46% and 25,12%
Shut Down Point (SDP). Discounted Cash Flow Rate (DCF) accounted for 16,40%.
From the feasibility analysis data above concluded that the plant is profitable and
feasible to set. | en_US |
