ABSTRACT DESIGN OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE FACTORY FROM RUTILE AND COKE WITH CHLORINE PROCESS CAPACITY 50.

000 TONS / YEAR (PLUG FLOW REACTOR MULTITUBULAR (R-202)) By Dessy Agustina Sari Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one type of pigment and other types are synthetic iron (II) dioxide, carbon black pigment, lithophone, chromium (II) dioxide. The use of pigment types in the world is 68% TiO2. The use of TiO2 as a pigment and a catalyst in addition, can also be used as material in producing ceramics. Under Indonesia's import data, TiO2 demand continue to increase every year and so far the material needs are imported from China. Along with the increasing development of user industries, the titanium dioxide Titanium Dioxide Plant development is needed to support industrial development in Indonesia. Titanium dioxide is produced by the chlorine process in which raw materials rutile, coke is contacted with chlorine gas in a Fluidized Bed Reactor (B-201). Operating conditions took place with temperatures 909 K and pressure of 1 atm. Gas produced one of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4). Gas is what will form the TiO2 which will be reacted TiCl4 and O2 gas in the Plug Flow Reactor Multitubular (R202). Operating conditions in the R-202 is 1020 K and 3 atm. Meanwhile, both the reaction conversion by 98%. TiO2 product output from R-202 will be condensed in Sub-Cooler Condenser (E-304) and then separated from the liquidvapor in the Flash Drum (H-306). TiO2 in the liquid phase can be cooled at Rotary Cooler (B-310), while the gas vapor will be processed in the adsorber (D-307) for separating chlorine gas from other gas mixtures. Factory production capacity is planned 50.000 tonnes/year with operating time for 330 days in 1 year. Planning, the location of the factory was established in the industrial area located in Kotawaringin Bagendang East Central Kalimantan Province. Labor needed as many as 180 people with a form of business entity Limited Liability Company (PT) led by a Director. Managing Director assisted by the Director of Production and Financial Director with line and staff organizational structure. The provision covers the needs of utilities and water treatment system, providing steam, instrument air supply, and power generation. Meanwhile, factory support unit includes a laboratory, as well as instrumentation and process control.

From the economic analysis obtained the following results. Fixed Capital Investment (FCI) = USD 2,314,404,076,053.240 Working Capital Investments (WCI) = USD 408,424,248,715.278 Total Capital Investment (TCI) = USD 2,722,828,324,768.520 Break Even Point (BEP) = 44.681% Shut Down Point (SDP) = 17.854% Pay Out Time Before Taxes (POT), b = 2.730 year Pay Out Time After Taxes (POT), a = 3.195 year Return Before Taxes On Investment (ROI), b = 22.631% Return After Taxes On Investment (ROI), a = 18.105% Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) = 29.391% Based consider the above matters, then it is proper establishment of Titanium Dioxide plant was assessed further in terms of process as well as economic. Because this plant is a plant that is profitable and good prospects.
