 WHAT IS BATCH PROCESS
• In a batch process, the main steps of process
operate discontinuously.
• In contrast with a continuous process, a batch
process does not deliver its product continuously
but in discrete amounts.
• This means that temperature, concentration, and
other properties vary with time.
• In practice, most batch processes are made up of
a series of batch and semicontinuous steps.
• A semicontinuous step runs continuously with
periodic start-ups and shutdowns
 ADVANTAGES OF BATCH
PROCESS
• Are economical for small volume
• Are flexible in accommodating changes in
product formulation.
• Are flexible in changing production rate
• Allow the use of standardized multipurpose
equipment for the production of a variety of
products from the same plant
 ADVANTAGES OF BATCH
PROCESS
• Are best if equipment needs regular cleaning
because of fouling or needs regular sterilization.
• Are amenable to direct scale-up from the
laboratory.
• Allow product integrity. Each batch of product
can be clearly identified in terms of the feeds
involved and conditions of processing. This is
particularly important in industries such as
pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs.
 EXAMPLE OF BATCH PROCESS

Reactor

Steam Product
Storage
Feed Storage

C.W.

Steam
 Process Steps
• Feed material is withdrawn from storage using a pump
• The feed material is preheated in a heat exchanger
before being fed to the reactor
• After the reactor is full, further heating takes place inside
the reactor using steam in the reactor jacket.
• During the later stages of the reaction, cooling water is
applied to the reactor jacket.
• The reactor product is withdrawn using a pump.
• The reactor product is cooled in a heat exchanger before
going to storage.

 PRODUCTION SCHEDULES FOR
MULTIPLE PRODUCTS
Produksi 2 produk dengan 3 tahapan proses
Start cycle 1 – produk A Start cycle 2 – produk A

Produksi A Karena sequensial maka:

1. produksi produk B harus nunggu A selesai dulu
Produksi B semua tahapan proses
2. produk A dan B harus selesai semua (1 proses),
baru mulai ke proses ke 2 (cycle ke 2)
 PRODUCTION SCHEDULES FOR
MULTIPLE PRODUCTS
Start cycle 1 – Produksi 2 produk dengan 3 tahapan proses
produk A Start cycle 2 Kemudian, maju kedepan
– produk A utk step kedua dari
produk B, harus
nyambung dg step
terakhir dr produk B
10 hr
(2)
5 hr 2 hr
5 hr 2 hr
Letakkan dulu step
terakhir dr produk B (1)
setelah step terakhir
produk A selesai

Karena Overlapping maka:

Produksi A 1. produksi produk B TIDAK harus nunggu tahapan produksi A
selesai semua. Mulai step 1 dr produk B dari mana? Mulai dari
Produksi B step terakhir dr produk B, tunggu step terakhir dr produk A
selesai. Lalu, step 2 dan 1 dr produk B mengikuti
2. Untuk mulai cycle kedua, tidak harus nunggu produksi produk
B selesai semua.
 PRODUCTION SCHEDULES FOR
MULTIPLE PRODUCTS
Produksi 2 produk dengan 3 tahapan proses
Start cycle 1 – produk A Start cycle 2 – produk A

Hold up

• Karena ada equipment hold up, maka utk step 1 produk B bisa
langsung dilakukan
• Demikian juga dengan step kedua utk produk B

Bandingkan dengan OVERLAPPING BATCH pada slide sebelumnya

 PRODUCTION SCHEDULES FOR
MULTIPLE PRODUCTS
Start cycle 1 – Produksi 2 produk dengan 3 tahapan proses
produk A
Start cycle 2 – produk A
1. Step 1 dan 2 dr
produk B pd
cycle 1 bisa lgsg
dilakukan jika
step 1 dan 2
produk A selesai
2. Step 1 cycle 2 dr
produk A bisa
lgsg dilakukan
tanpa harus
menunggu step 2
dr produk A cycle
1 selesai.

• Karena ada Intermediate storage utk step 1 dan 2, maka utk step 1
produk A cycle ke2 bisa langsung dilakukan

Bandingkan dengan EQUIPMENT HOLP UP pada slide sebelumnya

PRODUCTION SCHEDULES FOR
MULTIPLE PRODUCTS
Produksi 2 produk dengan 3 tahapan proses dan
masing-masing produk ada 3 batch

harus nunggu 3 batch

produk A selesai semua baru
produksi produk B
AAABBB

Produk A dan B diproduksi

secara bergantian
ABABAB

Makespan: waktu yg diperlukan utk

produksi suatu produk sesuai
dengan jumlah batch produksinya
PRODUCTION SCHEDULES FOR
MULTIPLE PRODUCTS

Ketika alat akan

digunakan utk produksi B
setelah digunakan utk
produksi A, maka alat
harus di bersihkan, misal
perlu waktu 2 jam.
Maka proses cleaning ini
akan memperpanjang
cycle time dan makespan
PRODUCTION SCHEDULES FOR
MULTIPLE PRODUCTS

Perpindahan produk dr
step 1 ke step 2
memerlukan waktu
transfer, akan
memperbesar cycle time
dan makespan
