Abstract
The problem that arises from the development of the Palm Oil Industry is the problem of waste. Solid waste from the palm oil industry is primarily used as boiler fuel, with unused biomass ash as a by-product. Biomass ash contains silica and Alumina which can be used to reduce the use of cement in concrete brick. Agropolymer Brick business made from Biomass Ash, it is hoped that it can provide social and economic benefits for the community around the industry. The methods used in this research include Payback Period (PP), Net Present Value (NPV), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The PP required to return the investment that has been issued is 1 month. Based on the NPV calculation, the total value is Rp. 45,422,057.46 (NPV>0). IRR method of investment analysis is acceptable. Based on the calculation of NPV and IRR, investment in Agropolymer Brick is feasible
