In the described process, MEG is produced via EO, which is manufactured in an integrated plant utilizing Shell EO technology. ETHYLENE OXIDE AND ETHYLENE GLYCOL (January 1997) Ethylene oxide (EO) and ethylene glycol (EG) are widely used industrial organic intermedi-ates. The two primary feedstocks for ethylene production are naphtha and natural gas (ethane, propane, butane, etc.). It can…, This column is based on “Propionic Acid Production from Propionaldehyde – Cost Analysis,” a report published by Intratec.

According to the licenser, the process is able to achieve EO-to-EG converstion and selectivity near 100%, leading to production of MEG only. The content represents the opinions of Intratec only. Shell innovations in 1971 increased catalyst selectivity to 80% which was interpreted to be its theoretical limits by industry experts. 0
