This document summarizes a proposed xylitol plant that would use corncob as a raw material with a production capacity of 2000 tons per year. The plant would be constructed in Lampung, Indonesia to meet domestic demand for xylitol and explore export opportunities. It would employ 97 workers and use hydrolysis with HCl and hydrogenation processes to produce xylitol from xylose. An economic analysis estimates the plant would have a net profit of Rp 85.296.226.325, payback period of 4.5 years, break-even point of 31%, and internal rate of return of 23.29%.

Pre-design xylitol plant uses corncob as raw material. Capacity production of
xylitol plant is 2000 ton/year in based 330 days/year. Xylitol factory is expected to meet the domestic demand and to open up export opportunities. The form of business Company Plant is PT by using the line structure and staff. Labor requirements to run the business amounted 97 employees. Fabric location is planned to be constructed in Piring Sewu, Lampung, Bandar Lampung with land area 27.490 m2. Water source for xylitol plant is derived from the river Way, Lampung and to meet the needs of electricity that obtained from State Electricity Company (PLN) and Generator powered 765,0669 kW. The method used is hydrolysis with HCl and hydrogenation. In the hydrolysis process with HCl as a catalyst, the following reactions occur: (C5H8O4)n + nH2O → nC5H10O5
In the hydrogenation process of xylose to xylitol, the following reactions occur:
C5H10O5 + H2 → nC5H12O5
