INTRODUCTION
Maleic anhydride is a chemical intermediate that is used to produce resins, surface coatings,
lubricant additives, and agricultural chemicals. The compound’s chemical formula is
C2H2(CO)2O and is the acid anhydride of maleic acid. In its pure state, the compound
colorless or white solid with an acrid odor. Maleic anhydride was traditionally manufactured by
the oxidation of benzene or other aromatic compounds. As of 2006, only a few smaller plants
continue to use benzene; due to rising benzene prices, most maleic anhydride plants now use n-
butane as a feedstock.
In 1995, global production of maleic anhydride was estimated at 1.8 billion pounds, with an
estimated value of $700 million. Over the last five years, world consumption has increased at an
average annual rate of 5.8%, with the fastest growth occurring in Asia, where it is used as an
intermediate for production of 1,4-butanediol.
CHEMICAL REACTIONS
The raw material is benzene. The primary reaction is one in which benzene is partially oxidized
to form maleic anhydride (Equation 1). There are three undesired side reactions, the subsequent
combustion of maleic anhydride (Equation 2), the complete combustion of benzene (Equation 3),
the formation of the by-product , quinone (Equation 4).

PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Maleic anhydride is a white crystalline solid which widely used in food, oil, electronic and
polymer industry. It can be produce by the oxidation of benzene, n-butane or other aromatic
compounds. However, the production of Maleic Anhydride for this project only focuses on the
oxidation of Benzene which acts as limiting reactant. Oxidation process is a chemical between
two substances in which one substance is oxidized. It occurs when the oxidation state of a
molecule, atom or ion increased. Benzene was oxidized to form Maleic anhydride with some
carbon dioxide and water. The reactions are shown below:
C6H6 + 4.5O2 C4H2O3 + 2CO2 + 2H2O
The process flow diagram for the Maleic Anhydride production is shown in Figure 2.3.
The reactor choose in this study is PFR(R-1) as PFR has the ability to convert highest conversion
of benzene into Meleic Anhydride. Initially, Benzene inlet has been heated to change the phase
from liquid to gases phase. The benzene then mix with air to before it continues to react in the
PFR. The process rate constant was given as shown below:
k1 =
The reacted compound was then proceed to feed into the gas absorber (Absorber
Column) to further separate the unwanted gas with Maleic Anhydride. The solvent used in this
column is dibutyl phthalate which change the Maleic Anhydride phase from gases to liquid. The
reaction of the Maleic Anhydride with water creates another chemical compound which is
Maleic Acid. About 95% water was converting forming the Maleic Acid. The process was then
continues entering the distillation column to separate the solvent with other chemical compound.
Overhead product of the distillation column consist of 85% Maleic Anhydride with a few
nitrogen and oxygen. The bottom product of the distillation was which Dibutyl phthalate was
recycle back to solvent inlet stream to be used in next reaction.
PROCESS SELECTION
In every process, the selection process is required and very important to run a chemical plant
reaction. In this process, Maleic Anhydride is a desired product and there are a few processes
that available in order to achieve the desired product. First of all, the first step to run the reaction
is by choosing the good and right raw material. The main raw material that plays a big role in
this process is benzene. From study, the industry had widely used either benzene or n-butane, but
most of the time, the industry is much preferable toward n-butane. This is because, n-butane
process is considered to more advantages in term of health, safety and economics.
According Lonza group, a chemical company, benzene route is competitive in low cost
revamps and medium-size plants. However, when the cost of benzene is high, this route is
much less attractive.
Instead of that, most of companies are using the packed bed reactor or fluid bed
process rather than shell and tube vertical design reactor in production of Maleic
Anhydride because it have advantages over the fixed bed route, such as lower air -to-
hydrocarbon concentration in the feedstock and no need for premixing, but has
disadvantages including abrasion of the catalyst, conversion rates and by-product
formation. While shell and tube with the presence of catalyst is good for conducting gas
phase chemical reactions and best suits if heat transfer play important role in the chemical
reaction conversion. However, shell and tube are not so good for liquid reactions. As a nutshell,
the importance in process selectivity is the efficiency, effect of the material and the cost required
to run the process.
OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this project is to do a preliminary analysis to determine the feasibility of

constructing a chemical plant to manufacture 58,940 ton/year maleic anhydride. The raw
material is benzene. From the World Maleic Anhydride Supply & Demand By Region graph in
the appendices, we get the the value of production of maleic anhydride which is 58940 tonne /
year for 2016.
The goal of this project is to design a grass roots facility that is capable of producing 58,940
million pounds of maleic anhydride per year from n-butane.
Our job is to analyze a simplified maleic anhydride production process, to suggest profitable
operating conditions, and to write a final report summarizing our findings.

MARKET ANALYSIS
The Maleic Anhydride Market in asia from year had incease from year 2001 to 2015 had
grow smoothly and in the year 2016, they had reach about 800 to 1300 Metric Tons.10 The
production of Maleic Anhydride fro asia region by 2014 is about 56%, and the consumption is
about 13.6% and the capacity is about14%. These record can be referring in the appendices.10
According to the Maleic Anhydride Market’ Book, the global Maleic Anhydride
production market is projected to grow at smooth and fascinating pace of 6.6%, from USD 4.72
million to USD 6.5 million metric tons, during the forecast period.10 The total capital investment

Energy Balance
Energy balances are calculated in order to determine the energy value needed in some
processes such as heating, cooling or reaction. Some assumptions are made to produce the
energy balance calculations. Common equations and formula regarding energy balance are also
included in the calculations.
Assumption:
 Open system
 Steady state
 Kinetic and potential energy negligible
 No shaft work
 No leakage in the vessels and piping used in the system
 Pure reactant is used
General energy balance equation:
Output = input + generation – consumption – accumulation

HEAT INTEGRATION
The term of “Pinch technology” was introduced to represent a new set of thermodynamically
based on methods that guarantee minimum energy levels in design of heat exchanger networks.
Over the last two decades it has emerged as an unconventional development in process design
and energy conversation. The term “pinch technology” is often used to represent the application
of the tools and algorithm of Pinch technology for studying industrial processes. Development of
the rigorous software programs like Aspen PinchTM have proved to be very useful in pinch
analysis of complex industrial process with speed and effieciency (Linnhoff and Vredeveld,
1984).
Pinch analysis is used to identify energy cost and heat exchanger network capital cost targers for
a proces and recognizing the pinch point. The procedure first predicts, ahead of design, the
minimum requirements of external energy, network area and the number of units for a given
process at the pinch point. Next a heat exchanger network design tha satisfies these target is
synthesized. Finally the network is optimized by comparing energy cost and capital cost of the
network so that the total annual cost is minimized. Thus, the prime objective of pinch technology
analysis is to achieve financial savings by better process heat integration (maximizing process to
processs heat recovery and reducing the external utility loads (Linnhoff and G.T.Polley, June
1988).

Since there is no pinch temperature can be obtained from the interval diagram, thus the heat
integration cannot be performed. This may be due to only two heat exchangers involved
therefore the temperature interval diagram has less temperature which consequently does not
have any overlap between the cold and hot water stream. From the observation, the more heat
exchanger involve, the pinch technology can be applied very well. Since there is no pinch
temperature identified, thus we cannot proceed with the pinch technology. In order to conduct
the pinch technology, more heat exchanger such as heater and cooler must be added to the
system.

TOWER T-602
Based on the Table 11.13 of the Analysis, Synthesis and Design of Chemical Processes, there are
some rules that need to take account in order to do the heuristics for a tower. These rules are as
follow:
Rule 5 : Optimum reflux in the range of 1.2 -1.5Rmin

Rule 6 : Optimum number of stages approximately 2Nmin
Rule 7 :Nmin= ln{x/(1-x)ovhd/[x(1-x)bot]} / ln α
Rule 8 :Rmin= {F/D}/(α – 1)
Rule 9 : Use safety factor of 10% on number of trays
Rule 14 :Lmax= 53 m and L/D <30
On the other hand, there are also rules that must obey in doing the heuristics for trays. The rules
taken from table 11.14 of the same book are as follow:
1. 𝐻𝐻𝐻 = (𝐻𝐻𝐻ℎ𝐻 ∙ 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻) 0.5 ; ovhd = overhead
btm = bottom

equipments used consist of pump, heater, compressor, tower, reactor and mixer. Each equipment
cost will be calculated based on 3 factors:
 The specific equipment type

 The specific system pressure
 The specific materials of construction

FIXED CAPITAL INVESTMENT
An investment is an agreement between two parties, whereby one party, the investor, provide
money to second party, the producer, with the expectation that the producer will return money to
the investor at some future specified date.
Terms used in describing investment are:
P: Principal or Present Value
F: Future Value
n: Years between F and P
Total Capital Investment is referred to funds invested in a firm or enterprise for the purpose of
furthering its business objectives usually made up of two components:
Total Capital Investment = Fixed Capital + Working Capital
Fixed capital is all cost associated with building the plant and working capital is the amount of
capital required to start up the plant and finance the first few month of operation before revenues
from the process start.
All the cost for equipment are as follow.

The utility requirements for a process are obtained from material and energy balances then
translated into expected demands natural gas or heating oil for fired heat, steam, electricity,
cooling water, and refrigeration. In addition to the utilities required for heating and cooling, the
process may also need process water and air for applications such as washing, stripping, and
instrument air supply. The cost of utilities can vary widely with the location, with the size of the
service required, with the national and local economy, and even with the season. Generally
utility pricing is regulated and the approved tariffs are readily available from the utility company
or the cognizant regulatory agency
2. Labor cost.
The technique used to estimate operating labor requirements is based on the data obtained using
Alkahayat and Gerrard Method. According to this method, the operating labor requirements for
chemical processing plant is given by equation below2:
Cost of operating labor, COL

NOL = ( 6.29 + 31.7 P2+ 0.23Nnp ) 0.5
NOL : Number of operator shifts

P : Number of processing steps involving particulate solids
Nnp : Number of non-particulate processing steps and includes compression, heating and cooling,
mixing and reaction.
In general, for the processes considered in this text, the value of P is zero, and the value of Nnp is
given by
Nnp = ∑ 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻

NOL = (6.29 + 3.17P2 + 0.23Nnp)0.5
= (6.29 + 3.17(0)2 + 0.23(12))0.5
= 3.00
The value of NOL is the number of operators required to run the process unit per shift. A single
operator works on the average 49 weeks (3weeks time off for vacation and sick leave) a year,
five 8-hour shift a week.
= 49 week/year × 5 shift/week
= 245 shifts per operator/year
Assumption:
A chemical plant operates 24 hours per day. This requires (335 days/year × 3 shift/day) 1005
operating shifts per year. The number of operators needed to provide this number of shifts is
= 1005 shift/year ÷ 245 shifts per operator/year
= 4.1 operators
The operating labor = NOL × 4.1 operators
= 3.00 × 4.1
= 12.3 ≈ 12 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻
To estimate the cost of operating labor, the average hourly wage of an operator is required.
Based on the Chemical Plant Operator Salary in United States3, the hourly rate about $21.12
which is equivalent to RM 94.41.
Labor costs = 12 operator × RM 94.41 × 8 hour per day/operator
= RM 9063.36 per day
The cost of operating labor, COL is equal to the salary given to each of operator yearly which in
this case the yearly salary given is
In one year, COL = RM 9063.36 per day × 335 days/year
= RM 3036225.6 / year (two million ,

eight hundred eighty nine thousand ,

4. Waste treatment cost.
The amount of waste produced must be known in order to determine waste treatment charges,
which depend on material balance. The waste disposal cost depends on the nature of the waste,
as well as whether a commercial or municipal treatment plant can handle it or investment in
onsite waste treatment equipment is needed. When project specific data is available, published
method for estimating the cost of treatment can be used.

The land that is chosen to build this chemical plant is located at Pulau Indah, Port Klang in
Selangor. 17To be exact, this land is located in Pulau Indah Industrial Park, Port Klang, Selangor.
The size of this land is at about 20.11 acres which is enough to build the plant for production of
maleic anhydride and it is also enough to make expansion in future.17 The price of this 20.11
acres including GST is RM 36 795 150.00 which is equivalent to $8.21 x 106.17
This location is one of the strategic area for chemical industry since this area has been reserved
for industrial area and it is ideal location for cost savings as well as high returns.18 Pulau Indah
Industrial Park (PIIP) has attracted many investors including giant investors such as Central
Sugar Refinery Sdn. Bhd. (CSR) and Federal Flour Mill Berhad (FFM).18
Many big companies are attracted to invest to the PIIP since it has providing innovative
industrial solutions. This including the complete infrastructure and tariff such as electricity,
telecommunication, enough water supply and sewage and water treatment. 18
The electricity supplied to this area are from three power stations which are Connaught Bridge in
Klang, Kapar Power Station in Kapar and Putrajaya Power Station in Serdang.18 These three
power stations has contribute at about 3 877 Mega Watt to the total installed capacity of
Malaysia which at 19 723 Mega Watt. The total current capacity in Pulau Indah is 275/132 Kilo
Volt with transformer capacity at 11/0.433 Kilo Volt and main distributor substation at 33/11
Kilo Volt.18
The telecommunication facility has a very good coverage where the Pulau Indah’s
telecommunication network provides unlimited broadband internet access with high speed
connectivity. 18 This excellent facility can fulfill all broadband application such as web hosting,
18
video streaming, e-commerce and many other online needs. The speed of internet access
become one of the most important thing and need due to borderless world.
The water for Pulau Indah Industrial Park or PIIP is supplied by a few dams in Selangor
including Semenyih dam and Sungai Selangor dam. 18 The total water capacity demand in Pulau
Indah is at about 20 million gallons per day. 18 The demand is rather small than the capacity that
can be supplied by both dams where the Semenyih dam can generate at about 140 million gallons
18
per day. Meanwhile at about 400 million gallons per day can be generated when the water
scheme in Sungai Selangor is combined with other major damns. 18 The total capacity of water
generated are expected to reach as high as 1900 gallons per day. 18 Thus, the dam in Selangor can
supply more than enough of the water capacity needed by the PIIP.
The PIIP is built with sewage and waste treatment facility. One of the facility regarding the
sewage treatment is a built of flood retention pond which acts as a run-off basin. 18 The pond
handles a quick influx of water and catches large amounts of surface run-off in order to minimize
the effects of large rains and flooding. 18

SALVAGE VALUE
Salvage value is the estimated value that the owner is paid when the item is sold at the end of its
useful life. The value is used to determine annual depreciation in the accounting records, and
salvage value is used to calculate depreciation expense on the tax return.
PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS
NON-DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW
A loan transaction starts with a positive cash flow when the loan is received - and continuous
with negative cash flows for the pay offs.
Payback period (PBP)
Payback period also known by a variety of other name, such as payout period, payoff period and
cash recovery period.
PBP = Time required, after start-up, to recover the fixed capital investment for the project
The shorter the payback period, the more profitable the project.
Cumulative cash position (CCP)

Cumulative cash position is simply the worth of the project at the end of life.

DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW
There are a few profitability criteria that should be analyze which including the discounted
payback period, net present value, present value ratio and discounted cash flow rate of return.
These criteria are divided into two types of criterion which are time criterion and cash criterion.
For the time criterion which is discounted payback period is the time required for a plant to
recover back the fixed capital investment FCIL and a project with the shortest discounted
payback period is the most desirable.
There are two types of cash criterion which are net present value (NPV) and present value ratio
(PVR). The value of NPV is taking from the cumulative discounted cash flow at end of the
project life meanwhile the PVR is the ratio of present value of all positive cash flow to the
present value of all negative cash flow. The NPV is totally dependable on the level of fixed
capital investment therefore a better criterion to compare the project with different investment is
the PVR criterion. From the PVR, if it give the greater value than the unity, thus the project can
be said profitable but if it less than the unity it shows that the project is unprofitable.

To find DCFROR :
Discounted rate
Discounted cash flow rate of return (DCFROR) is the interest rate at which all the cash flow
must be discounted in order for the net present value, NPV of the project to be equal to zero.
Therefore, when NPV is equal to zero, the DCFROR value is 32.2%and shown below:
Table : Interest rate when NPV is zero
Interest Rate, i NPV (RM Miliion)

𝐻𝑥 − 0.03 0 − 428.62
=
0.35 − 0.03 −38.8694 − 428.62
𝑥 = 32.2%
COMPARISM BETWEEN DCFROR WITH THE INTERNAL INTEREST RATE
From the DCFROR obtained in the discounted cash flow, the value obtained is as much as 32.2%
which is slightly higher than 3% from the internal interest rate in 2016. The difference is at about
29.8% where the DCFROR is higher than the current internal interest rate, thus the project is
profitable to proceed.
COMPARISM BETWEEN NON-DISCOUNTED AND DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW
The rate of return on investment (ROROI) is calculated in the part of non-discounted cash flow
meanwhile the discounted cash flow rate of return (DCFROR) is calculated in the discounted
cash flow. The value of ROROI obtained is at 22.04% per year but the value of DCFROR
obtained is at 32.3% which is slightly higher than the ROROI. Thus it can be concluded that the
discounted cash flow is more profitable than the non-discounted cash flow.
CONCLUSION
The aim of the project is to make a preliminary design plant for production of maleic anhydride
that includes the economic analysis. As the conclusion, the payback period for non discounted
cash flow within 20 years is 3.2 years . This is because the selling price of maleic anhydride and
maleic acid, thus make the revenue is moderate amount which is $115.45x10^6, giving
cumulative ratio (CCR) of 4.43 and return of rate on investment (ROROI) is 22.04% per year.
However, it is a little bit longer for discounted payback period within 3.5 years because the
payment to the bank is increasing year by year as the give interest rate each year 3%. The
present value ratio (PVR) is 4.607 with DCFROR of 32.2%. The project depends on a good and
stable price of maleic anhydride and the variation in utility price had minimum effect on the
payback time.
