| dc.description.abstract | Indonesia's growing industrialization and rising demand for plastic-based products
highlight the need to reduce reliance on imported polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
This thesis outlines the preliminary design of a PET manufacturing plant with a
planned capacity of 60,000 tons per year, utilizing ethylene glycol (EG) and
purified terephthalic acid (PTA) through direct esterification and polycondensation
processes. The plant is proposed to be built in Cilegon, West Java, Indonesia to
serve the expanding domestic market, particularly in the packaging and textile
sectors. Hazop analaysis from several factors conclude in low risk and Economic
analysis reveals a Fixed Capital Investment (FCI) of Rp 901,093,047,516, a
payback period of 2.2 years (pre-tax), a Break-Even Point (BEP) of 56.87%, a
Return on Investment (ROI) of 35.59% before tax, and a Discounted Cash Flow
Rate of Return (DCFRR) of 10%. The results of the technical and financial
evaluations confirm that the project is feasible and profitable. Establishing this PET
facility is considered a strategic move to support national industry development,
reduce import dependency, and enhance sustainable economic growth in Indonesia. | en_US |
