ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) Ethylene Oxide Formation; (2) Carbon Dioxide Removal; and (3) Glycols Reaction and Separation.</p><p>Ethylene Oxide Reaction. Ethylene, oxygen, methane make-up and recycle gas recovered downstream are mixed and fed to a multi-tubular catalytic reactor, in which ethylene oxide (EO) is produced. The reactor outlet is absorbed with water in the EO Absorber. The gaseous overhead stream is sent to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Removal section. A side stream is sent to the EO Stripper. The bottom stream is directed to the EO Bleed Stripper, which recovers glycols formed in the absorber and feeds them to the EO Stripper, and eliminates wastewater from its bottom. From the EO Stripper, and a side stream is returned to the EO Absorber. An overhead gaseous stream is routed to a light-ends removal unit, where impurities are removed, while purified EO is sent to Ethylene Glycol (EG) Reaction.</p><p>Carbon Dioxide Removal. A small portion of the overhead stream from the EO Absorber is purged. Most of the stream is compressed and recycled to the EO Reaction area, while the remainder is routed to a CO2 Absorber and then to a CO2 Desorber. In these equipments, CO2 is removed, and purified recycle gas is sent to the EO Reactor. </p><p>Glycols Formation. In the EG Reaction area, purified EO is combined with recycled process condensate, and fed to a tubular reactor, where it is converted mainly to monoethylene glycol (MEG), but small amounts of diethylene glycol (DEG), triethylene glycol (TEG) and heavier glycols waste are also produced. Water is removed in an evaporator in the forms of steam and process condensate. The crude glycols mixture is directed to a series of columns to separate the products.</p><p></p>
ICC - Short Description: This study presents the economics of Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) production from ethylene. The process described is similar to Shell MASTER. First, ethylene is oxidized with oxygen to produce ethylene oxide (EO), which is further hydrolyzed to MEG. The economic analysis provided assumes a plant located in the United States. Diethylene glycol (DEG) and triethylene glycol (TEG) are also generated as by-products.

Ethylene Glycol from Ethylene (Carbonation with EO By-Product)

This study evaluates the production of Monoethylene Glycol from ethylene in the United States. The process analyzed is similar to Shell OMEGA. In this process, ethylene is first oxidized to ethylene oxide (EO). Part of the ethylene oxide generated is sold as a by-product and the remaining part is carbonated to form ethylene carbonate, which is finally hydrolyzed to MEG.
