Cellulose acetate is a cellulose derivative product that has high commercial value because it is widely applied to textile fibers, cigarette filters, plastics, photographic films, paper and membrane coatings. The need for cellulose acetate in Indonesia is quite large because Indonesia is one of the largest textile producing countries in the world. However, Indonesia does not yet have a factory that produces cellulose acetate. Therefore, the establishment of a cellulose acetate factory has a large market opportunity for domestic and foreign needs. The pre-designed plant of cellulose acetate from sugarcane using the Emil Heuser method is planned to operate with a production capacity of 10,000 tons/year. The factory location will be on Raya Krembung road, Krembung region, Sidoarjo Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The land area required is 25,000 m2. The planned of business entity is a Limited Liability Company (Ltd). The pre-designed plant has a Profit Margin of 41.69%, Break Even Point 30.99%, Return on Investment 27.53%, Pay Out Time 3 years 6 months 3 days, Return on Network 44.88%, and Internal Rate of Return 35.99%. Based on the analysis of this economic aspect, it can be concluded that this factory is feasible to be established.
