FEASIBILITY STUDY OF THE FOUNDATION OF BIOETHANOL FACTORY IN LANGKAT, NORTH SUMATERA
Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
One of the potential alternative energy resources, in tackling the petroleum crisis, is the bioethanol. This paper reports the analysis of feasibility study of the construction of Bioethanol factory in Langkat Regency of North Sumatra Province. With an observation and analysis study it was found that currently, in North Sumatra there is no availability of bioethanol processing plants from molasses. The availability of molasses is much greater than that of the bioethanol manufacturing capacity. The availability of raw materials from PTPN II (State Plantation Company ) and PTPN (State Plantation Company) VII averaged 53,000 tons of molasses, of which 64% of the molasses production of 36,000 tons to be diverted to produce bioethanol and 36% might be exported. Based on the factory installed capacity of 5 tons of molasses per hour, in one day the factory works normally for 24 hours, in a month 25 days and in a year work for 300 days, the production capacity planning.It concludes that the three sensitivity analysis tools show that the boietanol plant capacity of 5 ton / h molasses is feasible to build in North Sumatra.
