ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Ethylene Glycol</b>. Ethylene glycol, also known as monoethylene glycol or MEG, is the simplest diol, with chemical formula C2H6O2. Like other glycols, ethylene glycol undergoes reactions common to monohydric alcohols forming esters, acetals, ethers, and similar products. Most of monoethylene glycol has been produced from ethylene via ethylene oxide intermediate, generating di- and tri-ethylene glycol as well. Commercially, ethylene glycol is available in three grades: fiber grade, with min. 99.8% of purity; industrial grade with min. 99.5% of purity and antifreeze grade with min. 98% of purity.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Ethylene</b>. Ethylene is known as a key building block for the petrochemical industry, being one of the largest-volume petrochemical produced worldwide. It is widely used as chemical intermediate in the production of several end products, including plastics, resins and fibers. Ethylene is largely produced by thermal cracking of petroleum-based feedstocks, in the presence of steam. It is stored in a liquid state under high pressure or at low temperatures. However, ethylene is, most of times, directly supplied to its consumers.</p> <b>Chemicals</b>. </p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/002-B.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises four major sections: (1) ethylene oxide synthesis; (2) ethylene oxide recovery; (3) ethylene glycol synthesis; and (4) ethylene glycol purification.</p><p>* Ethylene oxide synthesis. Ethylene and oxygen are reacted forming ethylene oxide. This exothermic reaction is conducted in multi-tubular reactor in the gaseous phase with the use of a silver catalyst supported on alumina. </p><p>* Ethylene oxide recovery. The reactor product stream is fed to an absorber for lights removal. Part of this gaseous overhead stream is recycled to the reactor, while the other part is sent to a CO2 removal unit. In this unit, CO2 is separated to be used in ethylene carbonate production. A diluted ethylene oxide stream from the absorber is subjected to a concentration step, residual light gases are removed and recycled to the reactor. The crude ethylene oxide obtained is sent to the ethylene glycol synthesis section.</p><p>* Ethylene glycol synthesis. Ethylene oxide is reacted with CO2, forming ethylene carbonate, which is then hydrolyzed to form MEG and CO2. Both reactions are carried out in the liquid phase using homogeneous catalysts. CO2 streams from the reaction steps are recycled to the ethylene carbonate reactor. </p><p>* Ethylene glycol purification. MEG produced is purified in two distillation columns where water is removed, leading to the final MEG product. The homogeneous catalyst is separated and recycled to the ethylene carbonate reactors.</p>
ICC - Short Description: This study presents the economics of Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) production from ethylene in the United States. The process described is similar to Shell OMEGA. First, ethylene is oxidized with pure oxygen to produce ethylene oxide (EO). The EO is then carbonated to generate ethylene carbonate, which is finally hydrolyzed to MEG.
