Abstract. The development of palm-oil plantations aims to create employment opportunities, improve the prosperity of community and income country. However, palm-oil plantation waste in the form of fronds has not been optimally managed. The aims of this research is to study of palm-oil fronds management feasibility in palm-oil plantations to be compost and mulch. The goals of this research is to study of palm-oil fronds management feasibility in palm-oil plantations to be compost and mulch. The study was conducted on one of the palm-oil plantations in West Aceh District. The techno-economic feasibility study refers to the use of all the necessary equipment and machinery in the management of palm-oil fronds. Factors to be considered in techno-economic analysis are NPV, Net B/C, IRR, Payback Period and BEP. The palm-oil plantation area studied is 576 ha which has the potential to produce as palm-oil fronds as much as 781 unit/day. Palm-oil fronds management uses two scenarios: centralized management scenarios (designed for only one processing unit) and decentralization (designed into two processing units). The results show that the techno-economic criteria of NPV, Net B/C, IRR, payback period and BEP for scenario one are Rp 766,518,333; 1.25; 25%; 8.09 years; 23,290.72 tons, respectively. The techno-economic criteria of NPV, Net B/C, IRR, payback period and BEP for scenario two are Rp 487,406,792; 1.07; 15%; 14.23 years; 40,935.51 tons, respectively. The value of these techno-economic criteria suggests that the management of palm-oil fronds from centralized scenarios is more feasible to undertake than the decentralization scenario. Studi Kelayakan Tekno-Ekonomi Pengelolaan Pelepah Sawit Menjadi Kompos dan Mulsa di Kabupaten Aceh Barat Abstrak. Pengembangan perkebunan kelapa sawit bertujuan untuk menciptakan kesempatan kerja, meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat dan sektor penghasil devisa negara. Namun, Limbah perkebunan kelapa sawit berupa pelepah sawit belum dikelola secara optimal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah melakukan kajian kelayakan tekno-ekonomi dari pengelolaan limbah pelepah sawit menjadi kompos dan mulsa. Kajian dilaksanakan pada salah satu perkebunan kelapa sawit di Kabupaten Aceh Barat. Studi kelayakan tekno-ekonomi merujuk pada penggunaan seluruh alat dan mesin yang diperlukan dalam pengelolaan limbah pelepah sawit tersebut. Faktor yang dipertimbangkan diantara adalah NPV, Net B/C, IRR, Payback Period dan BEP. Luas perkebunan yang dikaji adalah 576 ha yang berpotensi menghasilkan pelepah sawit sebanyak 781 pelepah/hari. Potensi limbah pelepah sawit tersebut ditangani dengan dua skenario yaitu skenario pengelolaan sentralisasi (didesain hanya satu unit pengolahan) dan desentralisasi (didesain menjadi dua unit pengolahan). Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa kriteria tekno-ekonomi NPV, Net B/C, IRR, payback period dan BEP untuk skenario satu masing-masing adalah Rp 766,518,333; 1.25; 25%; 8.09 tahun; 23,290.72 ton. Kriteria tekno-ekonomi NPV, Net B/C, IRR, payback period dan BEP untuk skenario dua masing-masing adalah Rp 487,406,792; 1.07; 15%; 14,23 tahun; 40,935.51 ton. Nilai kriteria tekno-ekonomi ini mengisyaratkan bahwa pengelolaan pelepah sawit skenario sentralisasi lebih layak untuk dilakukan dari pada skenario desentralisasi.

The current situation, domestic supportive policies and problems of photovoltaic generation technology are analyzed. According to the roof resources and solar illumination conditions in Shanghai, feasibility analysis of distributed roof photovoltaic generation technology is presented in angle of economic feasibility. The influence of generation price subsidies on the internal rate of return and payback period is obtained and finally raising advices to improve domestic photovoltaic generation technology.

The aim of this study was to determine the economic and environmental feasibility of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) briquette. The economic feasibility was determined by the BCR, NPV, Payback Period, and BEP value. While the environmental feasibility was determined by the potential of water hyacinth briquette to control water hyacinth in Cirata Reservoir. Briquette A1P3 (the charcoal combinations of rice husk: water hyacinth 1:1 and the percentage of tapioca binder 5%.) was used in this research. The need of water hyacinth briquettes by a satay (tiny grilled chicken) seller and a grilled fish seller is greater than the need of charcoal and coconut shell charcoal. It shows that water hyacinth briquettes have a lower economic value than charcoal and coconut shell charcoal. A project of water hyacinth briquette processing is economically feasible with the assumption that all products sold because of the BCR value (1.1) > 1, and the NPV value (58,390,711) > 0, with Payback Period in 4.6 years and BEP 95,621.5 kg in 5 years. The use of water hyacinth briquettes by a satay and grilled fish trader at 20,949 kg briquettes/year has the potential to control water hyacinth in Cirata Reservoir of 0.02% per year.

The trading of palm oil in the world from year to year increasing. Along with improvement request of palm oil needed by a adequate palm plantation development. Indonesia as second biggest producer in world also have the importance to extend areal palm plantation. The Extension potency of palm plantation instructed in East Indonesia region. One of big potency is Papua. For development palm plantation in Papua needed a feasibility study. The result of feasibility study an IRR (Internal Rate of Return) of 19.77%; a NPV (Net Present Value) of Rp.180.956.970.000,00; a Profitability Index of 1,11; a BEP (Break Event Point) of 11.499.970 kilograms and Payback Period of 6 year and 2 month. Based on this study, development of Palm plantation is feasible to be implementation in Papua

Purpose. Determine the main quantitative indicators for the economic analysis of the reliability of the pellet mill with a fixed matrix. Methods. Methods of grouping, system analysis, synthesis, scientific generalizations and the method of argumentation were used. Results. It is indicated that the main quantitative indicators for the economic analysis of machine reliability are: the cost of measures to increase reliability, the economic effect of increasing reliability and the payback period of measures to increase reliability. Equations are given for determining the payback period of measures to increase reliability and operating costs with increasing reliability. The conditions of economic feasibility of work to increase the level of reliability are determined. Conclusions. The calculations show that the annual economic effect of increasing the reliability of the pelletizer is 175.82 thousand UAH/year. Reliability enhancement measures reduce operating costs by 18.7% and payback periods are 2.55 years. Keywords: livestock, pellet press, reliability, efficient use, economic feasibility.
