ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Products</h6> <p><b>Propylene Glycol</b>. Propylene Glycol is a versatile chemical used in food, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications as a humectant, solvent, and antifreeze agent. It is also a key ingredient in the production of resins and plastics. Propylene glycol is synthesized from propylene oxide and stored as a viscous liquid. Its low toxicity and wide range of applications make it highly valuable across multiple sectors.</p> <p><b>Dipropylene Glycol</b>. Dipropylene glycol is a key intermediate used in the production of polyurethanes, plasticizers, and as a solvent in cosmetics, fragrances, and cleaning agents. Its low toxicity and good solvency make it suitable for both industrial and consumer products. Dipropylene glycol is produced through the hydrolysis of propylene oxide. It is stored as a clear liquid and is highly valued for its use in formulations requiring moisture retention and low volatility.</p> <h6>Raw Material</h6> <p><b>Propylene Oxide</b>. Propylene Oxide (PO) is a major commodity chemical. This highly reactive compound is starting material for several products, from polymers and solvents to industrial fluids. Commercially, Propylene Oxide is produced mainly by the so-called chlorohydrin process, based on the reaction of propylene and chlorine in the presence of water to produce propylene chlorohydrin, which is dehydrochlorinated with a base (caustic or lime). PO may also be produced on commercial scale by the oxidation of propylene by organic hydroperoxides – the so called indirect oxidation routes – yielding alcohols as by-product.</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/021-D.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises 3 major sections: (1) Hydration; (2) Dewatering; and (3) Glycol Separation.</p><p>Hydration. Propylene Oxide (PO) is combined with process water and water condensed from downstream. The stream is heated and fed to a tubular reactor, where all PO is converted to Monopropylene Glycol as main product and Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) as by-product. Tripropylene glycol (TPG) and heavier glycols are also formed The process is carried out without catalyst and with excess of water, in order to achieve a higher selectivity to propylene glycol. </p><p>Dewatering. Excess of water is removed from reactor outlet by means of a multi-stage evaporator and a distillation column. It is recycled to the Hydration Reactor. A small purge is taken so as to prevent impurities buildup.</p><p>Glycol Separation. In a purification column, high-purity industrial grade propylene glycol is recovered as overhead stream. The bottom stream, composed mainly of DPG, is fed to the DPG Column, which further separates DPG from minor amounts of heavy glycols.</p>
ICC - Short Description: This report analyses the economics of Propylene Glycol production from propylene oxide in the United States, via a typical hydration process. In this analysis, propylene oxide is hydrolyzed to propylene glycol. Dipropylene glycol is produced as by-product.
