Abstract
This preliminary plant design focuses on the production of Acrylic Acid (C₃H₆O₂) from glycerol through a dehydration–oxidation process with a design capacity of 60,000 tons per year. Based on technical and economic considerations, the construction of this plant in the Java Integrated Industrial and Port Estate (JIIPE), East Java, is considered feasible and strategically important for industrial development. Acrylic acid is widely used as a raw material for coatings, adhesives, and polymers, while polymer solutions are applied in industrial coatings and superabsorbent materials such as disposable diapers. The global demand for acrylic acid continues to increase, making it an essential commodity in the industrial sector. Considering the growing market potential, it is planned to establish a chemical plant in Indonesia to produce acrylic acid. The production process uses the dehydration–oxidation method. In the first stage, glycerol is diluted to 80.8% and vaporized into gas form using a vaporizer. The gaseous glycerol then undergoes a dehydration reaction in Reactor-1 at 360°C and 0.51 atm, producing acrolein. This reaction is non-irreversible and endothermic, with a conversion rate of 80%. The product from Reactor-1 is purified from impurities using an absorber, cooled in Condenser-2, and then sent to Reactor-2. In Reactor-2, the acrolein gas reacts with oxygen from the air at 260°C and 1.48 atm. This reaction is also non-irreversible but exothermic, with a conversion rate of 76%. The product from Reactor-2 is then cooled, condensed, and separated from impurities through a distillation column. The final product, acrylic acid with 98% purity, is stored in a storage tank. This plant is designed as a continuous process operating 330 days per year with 173 employees. Economic evaluation shows that the project is feasible, with a total capital investment of IDR 550.9 billion, a payback period of 3 years and 5 months, an internal rate of return (IRR) of 11.4%, and a break-even point of 32.46%. Based on technical and economic evaluations, the establishment of this plant in JIIPE, East Java, is declared feasible and strategically significant for Indonesia’s industrial development.
