| dc.description.abstract | Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) is one of biomass waste from palm oil that can be used for kertas
production. Selection of EFB is based on the availability, besides that waste treatment of EFB is still
rarely done in Indonesia. The production of kertas is consisting of four steps, pre-treatment, cooking,
bleaching, and post-treatment.
First, the EFB size will be reduced to to adjust its size to the specifications of the tool used.
The EFB will also go through a temperature and pressure adjustment process to suit operating
conditions. After that, EFB will enter into the bleaching process, where the bleaching process is the
most important main process in making this pulp. EFB that enters the mixer will be reacted with
H2O2. From the bleaching process, a brightness of 82% is obtained. The output of the Rotary Drum
Vacuum Filter enters the drum dryer to remove moisture content and is dried until it has a moisture
content of 5%. Then the pulp sheet is flowed to the head box,after that to wire part and the paper is
printed on the drum reel and then the paper is obtained.
The location of the factory was established in Serdang Bedagai, North Sumatra with a land
area of 37,041 m2
. To operate this factory, a workforce of 210 people is needed with a Public Limited
Company as a form of business entity. This company will be led by a main director with a line and
staff system as the structure of the leadership system
Economic analysis and evaluation were carried out to determine the feasibility of
establishing this company. From the analysis, it is obtained the ROI after tax was 27,29% and POT
was 3,664 years with a low level ofrisk. Obtained a BEP value of 37,26% with an SDP value of
33,14%. Through the economic analysis,the IRR value obtained is 22,39% with a MARR value of
3,25%. Based on the data obtained, the pulp mill is feasible to build with a capacity of 15.000
tons/year is feasible to be established. | en_US |
