Pra-Perancangan Pabrik Monoetanolamin (MEA) dari Etilen Oksida dan Amonia dengan Katalis SIO2-al2o3 Kapasitas 11.000 Ton/Tahun

Abstract

Monoethanolamine is an organic compound that is commonly used for CO2 gas absorption, detergent manufacturing, and anti-rust materials. The factory is planned to be established in Bandar Lampung City, Lampung Province with an area of 87,000 m2. Monoethanolamine is produced by reacting ammonia and ethylene oxide in the liquid phase, in a multitube fixed bed reactor. The reaction that occurs is an exothermic reaction that requires a refrigerant to maintain the temperature. The main product is 99% monoethanolamine as much as 11,000 tons/year with by products in the form of diethanolamine as much as 272 tons/year and triethanolamine as much as 94 tons/year. The raw materials used are ammonia as much as 3,657,706 kg/hour and ethylene oxide as much as 7,514 tons/year. The water requirement for utilities is 1.020.786,220 kg/hour, the electricity requirement is 2,144,739 kW and the steam requirement is 18,108.82 kg/hour. From the economic analysis, FCI was obtained of Rp.350,851,613,494 and working capital of Rp. 61,914,990,617 assuming that this factory is low risk, then the RoI is obtained 15.125%. Based on the economic evaluation data, the monoethanolamine factory is feasible to be established
