| Summary: | Refinery Unit VI Balongan (RU VI Balongan) is the sixth of seven refineries owned
by PT Kilang Pertamina International (PT KPI), Sub holding Refinery &
Petrochemical, PT Pertamina (Persero). After endstate some time ago, PT KPI was
required to be more aggressive in increasing the company's profit. Therefore, one
of RU VI Balongan's efforts as part of PT KPI is to increase the flexibility of Crude
oil processing because it is the most significant component in the Cost Structure,
which in 2021 reached 76% of the total cost.
This study aims to determine the factors that cause the high cost of Crude Oil in RU
VI and provide alternative solutions based on the root cause. Through the Five Why
Analysis method, it was found that the high cost of RU VI Balongan Crude Oil is
more due to dependence on certain types of Crude Oil, namely the Super Heavy
(SH) grade, whose availability in the global market is minimal so that the price is
high compared to other Crude Oil.
In order to reduce the cost of Crude Oil, it is necessary to optimize the preferences
of raw processing. Therefore, in this research, the author limited it to the case of
RU VI Balongan. Based on the FGD conducted with several SMEs in RU VI
Balongan, several criteria were obtained that became a reference for Crude Oil
Preferences, namely Crude Availability, Yield Suitability with design equipment,
economy, and economy handling & storage. The alternatives to choose are (1)
Processing Domestic Crude, (2) Processing Domestic Crude combined with one
type of Imported Crude and (3) Processing Domestic Crude combined with two or
more types of Imported Crude.
The selection of the best alternative is made by the AHP method, concluding that
Domestic Crude Processing is the best choice for RU VI with the lowest Crude Oil
Cost, among other alternatives. |
