Propylene Glycol Production from Glycerol (Vapor-Phase Process)
This report presents the economics of Propylene Glycol production from glycerol in the United States. The process presented occurs in vapor-phase, similarly to Davy Technologies process.

Propylene Glycol Production from Glycerol (Liquid-Phase Process)
This study presents the economics of Propylene Glycol production from glycerol using a liquid-phase process similar to Suppes process in the United States. In this process, glycerol is submitted to hydrogenation, yielding propylene glycol.

Propylene Glycol from Chlorine and Propylene
This report presents the economics of Propylene Glycol production from chlorine and chemical grade (CG) propylene in the United States, via a typical hydration process. In this process, chlorine, propylene and water are combined to make propylene chlorohydrin, which reacts with inorganic base to yield the oxide. The oxide is then hydrolyzed to propylene glycol.

Propylene Glycol from Propylene Oxide
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.
