Salah satu tahap yang penting dalam perancangan pabrik adalah perhitungankeekonomian yang biasanya dilakukan dengan menggunakan aplikasi simulasi proses.Beberapa penelitian terdahulu, memanfaatkan SuperPro Designer sebagai simulasiproses, namun belum banyak yang menggunakannya pada proses produksi bioethanolberbahan baku tandan kosong kelapa sawit (TKKS). Pada simulasi ini, dilakukan empatskenario proses: (1) SHF-Adsorpsi; (2) SHF-Permeasi Uap; (3) SSF-Adsorpsi; danSSF-Permeasi Uap, dimodelkan menggunakan SuperPro Designer yang memfasilitasikomposisi bahan baku dan produk, ukuran unit operasi, konsumsi utilitas, estimasimodal dan biaya operasional serta pendapatan dari produk dan coproduk. Pemodelandidasarkan pada data yang diperoleh dari produsen ethanol, penyedia jasa teknologi,manufaktur peralatan dan jasa engineering untuk industri. Dari hasil analisis ekonomihasil simulasi, skenario SSF-Permeasi Uap yang paling rendah biaya produksinya dandapat dikembangkan di Indonesia. Berdasarkan analisis sensitivitas pada skenariotersebut, fluktuasi harga jual bioethanol, harga tepung TKKS dan harga produksi enzimakan mempengaruhi nilai keekonomiannya

One of the important steps in plant design is economic analysis that usually done byusing simulator process application. Many research reports have used SuperProDesigner as simulator, but only a few used it in bioethanol production simulationprocess for Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) as feedstock. In this simulation, four scenarioprocess models: (1) SHF-Adsorption; (2) SHF-Vapor Permeation; (3) SSF-Adsorpstion;and (4) SSF-Vapor Permeation for ethanol production from EFB were developed usingSuperPro Designer software that handle the composition of raw materials and product,sizing of unit operations, utility consumption, estimation of capital and operating costsand the revenues from products and coproducts. The models were based on datagathered from ethanol producers, technology suppliers, equipment manufacturers, andengineering working in the industry. Based on economic analysis, scenario model SSFVaporPermeation provided cost effective and can be developed in Indonesia. It wassuggested through sensitivity analysis that, deviation bioethanol selling price, EFBpowder price and enzime production cost were necessary for bioethanol productionvalue.;One of the important steps in plant design is economic analysis that usually done byusing simulator process application.
