ICC - Process Overview Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-overview/002-D.jpg
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>Chemicals</b>. </p> <b>Oxygen</b>. Commercially, high purity oxygen is produced by cryogenic distillation in air separation plants. It is also produced on a commercial scale from air by vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) processes, at about 90-93% purity. Oxygen is mainly used in fuels combustion to supply heat, light, and power, as well as in oxygenation processes.</p> <b>Syngas</b>. Synthesis Gas is a gas mixture mainly composed of carbon monoxide (CO) and Hydrogen (H2). It is a raw material for the production of various products, such as methanol, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, dimethyl ether, oxo alcohols and many other chemicals. Syngas may be produced from both fossil sources (e.g. coal, petroleum or natural gas) and renewable materials, such as biomass or wood. Synthesis gas is produced industrially via different routes including steam methane reforming, partial oxidation, and dry reforming. Its composition can significantly vary from the production method used. </p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/002-D.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) Carbonylation; (2) DMO Hydrogenation; and (3) Separation.</p><p>Carbonylation. The feed synthesis gas is separated into its major components, carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The recovered CO is fed to the carbonylation reactors along with a recycled stream from the Separation section containing an intermediate, methyl nitrite, which reacts with CO to produce the intermediate dimethyl oxalate and nitric oxide (NO). The product from the carbonylation reactors is partially condensed generating one gaseous stream, rich in unconverted CO and NO that is directed to the Separation section, and a liquid stream rich in the dimethyl oxalate(DMO).</p><p>DMO Hydrogenation. The DMO rich stream is fed to the hydrogenation reactors along with hydrogen recovered from the syngas feed. DMO reacts with hydrogen producing ethylene glycol and methanol, and a few by-products. The product stream from the hydrogenation reactors is partially condensed and is directed to the separation section. The uncondensed vapor, mostly hydrogen, is compressed and recycled to the hydrogenation reactors.</p><p>Separation. The purification system consists of a series of distillation steps to separate fiber grade ethylene glycol from methanol and other by-products formed during DMO hydrogenation. Methanol is recovered from an intermediate distillation column and is recycled. The NO stream recovered from the carbonylation section is mixed with oxygen and contacted in a reactive absorber with the methanol recycle. These chemicals react producing methyl nitrite and water. The top product stream from the nitrite reactor is partially condensed to remove most of its water content and the resulting methyl nitrite rich stream is recycled to the carbonylation section.</p><p></p>
ICC - Short Description: This report presents the economics of Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) production from synthesis gas via dimethyl oxalate intermediate in the United States. In this process, methyl nitrite reacts with carbon monoxide forming dimethyl oxalate. The dimethyl oxalate is then hydrogenated to MEG.
