PRARANCANGAN PABRIK ASETANILID DARI ASAM ASETAT DAN ANILIN DENGAN KAPASITAS 25.000 TON/ TAHUN

Acetanilide is one of compound that is used as a raw material in the manufacture of various kinds of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. Acetanilide industrial development in Indonesia have a great opportunity, considering the increasing of need and until now has been no recorded acetanilide plant has been established in Indonesia. The import of acetanilid by Indonesia reached 41.666 tons/year in 2008 (BPS, 2008) and tended to increase. Based on the results of the study, supply ability of acetanilide industry in the world that has existed between 20.000-30.000 tons/year. Therefore, selected for the production capacity of this plant is 25.000 tons acetanilide / year. Acetanilide plant is planned to be established in Kebakkramat, Karanganyar, Central Java. The raw materials used are acetic acid and aniline. 18.206,18 tons / year of acetic acid is obtained from PT. Indo Acidatama Solo, while the needs of aniline as 20740.58 tons / year is obtained by import from China. Acetanilide manufacturing methods used in this plant is reacting acetic acid with aniline in CSTR producing acetanilide and water. Then the acetanilide from the reaction products will be crystallized. And then it is followed by solids separation and drying processes to take its products in the form of acetanilide crystals. As a support, utility unit supply as much as 56,41 tons / hr of cooling water, as much as 0,295 m3/hr of residual fuel oil no.6, 350 kVA of power, 100 m3/hr compressed air, and 3548,21 kg/hr of steam. Calculation of economic evaluation results is fixed capital required equal to $ 10.964.207,94 and Rp 10.283.009.887,40 and working capital equal to $ 16.481.565,98 and Rp 38.068.977.318,40. At 100% production capacity, obtained ROI before tax of 29,64%, ROI after tax of 14,82%. POT before tax of 2,50 years, POT after tax of 4,03 years with a BEP of 52,18%, SDP at 35,96%, and 19,06% of DCFRR. Based on consideration of the economic evaluation results, this acetanilide plant with capacity of 25.000 tons / year worth to be studied further
