Abstract

The feasibility study for the clean water processing business for ferry needs aims to evaluate the potential sustainability and profitability of the project. The need for clean water on ferry ships, especially on long-distance routes, is very important to support ship operations, crew, and passenger needs. Clean water is used for consumption, sanitation and various other needs. This project utilizes Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology to process river water into clean water that is suitable for use, considering the limited sources of clean water. This study covers several main aspects, namely market, technical, and economic analysis. Market analysis shows that the demand for clean water for ferry ships and communities continues to increase along with the growth in the number of ships and trips as well as population growth. Technical analysis highlights optimal water treatment technology, production capacity, and supporting infrastructure needs. The RO system was chosen because of its efficiency in producing clean water of high quality and meeting international standards. The capacity of the RO system that needs to be built is a capacity of 10 m3/hour with a sales requirement of 159 m3 with a value of 2% of the total clean water needs of the community or around 65.45 m3/day and 5% of the total clean water needs for ships operating on the Musi River or around 90.05 m3.
