Prarancangan Pabrik Ammonium Klorida dari Ammonium Sulfat dan Natrium Klorida Kapasitas 32.000 Ton/Tahun Jurusan Teknik Kimia Fakultas Teknik Universitas Gadjah Mada INTISARI Ammonium Klorida (NH4Cl) adalah bahan kimia yang cukup banyak digunakan di dalam industri kimia. NH4Cl digunakan sebagai bahan baku pembuatan batu baterai, pembersih solder untuk industri elektronika, lem triplek, pengeras salju, pupuk, dan bahan reduksi nitroparaffin menjadi alkylhydroxylamine. Produksi NH4Cl dilakukan dengan metode methatesis (NH4)2SO4-NaCl yang didahului dengan proses pemurnian garam dapur menjadi NaCl murni. NaCl dan (NH4)2SO4 dilarutkan dengan air dalam sebuah reaktor pada suhu 30°C dan tekanan 1 atm. Setelah keluar reaktor terbentuk larutan NH4Cl dan larutan Na2SO4 lewat jenuh yang kemudian dikristalkan di dalam Crystallizer. Pabrik NH4Cl ini tergolong pabrik beresiko rendah karena kondisi operasi dan bahan yang digunakan tergolong aman untuk lingkungan. Seluruh proses dilakukan dalam ruangan karena sifat bahan yang mudah menyerap air. Pabrik NH4Cl direncanakan akan didirikan di Gresik, Jawa Timur dengan luas areal lahan ± 7,5 ha dan dibutuhkan 225 tenaga kerja. Pabrik dirancang pada kapasitas 32.000 ton/tahun dan beroperasi secara kontinyu selama 360 hari/tahun. Untuk menghasilkan NH4Cl sebanyak 3.616,25 kg/jam dibutuhkan bahan bakar fuel oil sebanyak 1277,26 kg/jam, kebutuhan air sungai sebanyak 12,6905 m3/jam, kebutuhan listrik 1019,89 kW dan kebutuhan total steam sebanyak 16660,71 kg/jam. Dalam pendirian pabrik diperlukan Modal Tetap sebesar $ 6.452.181,43 dan Rp 215.931.928.424,65, Modal kerja Rp 144.213.953.047,49 dengan keuntungan sebelum pajak Rp 93.919.677.175,13 dan Rp 46.959.838.587,57 setelah dipotong pajak. Dari hasil perhitungan diperoleh Return on Investment (ROI) sebelum pajak 34,28% dan 17,14% setelah dipotong pajak, Pay Out Time (POT) sebelum pajak 2,25 tahun dan 3,68 tahun setelah dipotong pajak, Break Even Point (BEP) 49%. Shut Down Point (SDP) 2813% dan Discounted Cash Flow of Return (DCFRR) 35,48%. Dengan demikian maka pabrik ini layak untuk dikaji dan dikembangkan lebih lanjut. Cahya Setiawan (06/193328/TK/31536) M.

Ammonium chloride is used as a raw material for the batteries manufacture, cleaning solder for electronics industry, plywood glue, hardener snow, fertilizer, and the material for alkylhydroxylamine nitroparaffin reduction. NH4Cl production done by methatesis method (NH4)2SO4-NaCl were proceded by a process of purification of salt to become pure grade NaCl. NaCl and (NH4)2SO4 is dissolved in water in a reactor at a temperature of 30°C and a pressure of 1 atm. After exiting the reactor is formed NH4Cl solution and supersaturated solution of Na2SO4 which later crystallized in the Crystallizer. NH4Cl plant is classified as low risk due to plant operating conditions and the material used is safe for the environment. The whole process is done in the room due to the nature of materials that easily absorb water. NH4Cl factory is planned to be constructed in Gresik, East Java with a total area of ± 7.5 ha of land and required 225 labours. The plant was designed with the capacity of 32,000 tons / year and operates continuously for 330 days / year. Ammonium chloride to produce as much as 3,616.25 kg/h of fuel, needed fuel oil as much as 1277.26 kg/h, the water needs of the river as much as 12,6905 m3/h, electricity needs 1019.89 kW and the needs of a total of 16660.71 kg of steam/h. Fixed capital is required $ 6,452,181.43 and Rp 215,931,928,424.65 and working capital is required Rp 144,213,953,047.49, with profit before tax Rp 93,919,677,175.13 and Rp 46,959,838,587.57 after tax. From the calculation results obtained by Return on Investment (ROI) before taxes 34.28% and 17.14% after tax, Pay Out Time (POT) before tax 2.25 years and 3.68 years after tax, Break Even Point (BEP) 49%. Shut Down Point (SDP) 28.13% and Discounted Cash Flow of Return (DCFRR) 35.48%. Based on that NH4Cl plant is quite interesting to study further. Cahya Setiawan (06/193328/TK/31536) M.
