Production of Mono Ethylene Glycol by Hydrolysis of Ethylene Oxide Fawad Ashraf, M. Shehzad Ajmal, Muhammad Danish, Qamar Shoaib Khan – Chemical Engineers COMSATS – Institute of Information Technology, Lahore
Abstract This Project report deals with the design calculations of Mono Ethylene Glycol production from Ethylene Oxide as a feed stock along with their relevant aspects such as instrumentation and process control, Hazop study and cost estimation.
The subjected project is based on the
Introduction Mono ethylene Glycol is one of the important chemical used in all over the World; it is 26th most produced material. Currently more than 65%of ethylene oxide produced in industry is used in the production of ethylene glycol. Mono ethylene glycol is use in the cooling agent, lubricant and as a raw material for the
production of Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) by the hydrolysis of the Ethylene Oxide and is converted into products by using the tabular reactor whereas Ethylene Oxide is manufactured by Oxidation of Ethylene Over Sliver Catalytic bed in tubular reactor. The project involves the designing of the reactor, evaporator and distillation column.

of Ethylene Oxide. Ethylene oxide reacts
In Pakistan Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is primarily being consumed as raw material for manufacturing of polyester fibre. The quantum of Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is being consumed as anti- freezing agent is very small. At present, all the requirement of MEG is being met from imports.
with water to form ethylene glycol, and then further reacts with ethylene glycol and higher homologues in a series of consecutive reactions.
Material and Energy Balances were applied across following units: 1. Reactor 1 2. Reactor 2 3. Absorber 4. Stripper 5. Distillation Tower 1 6. Distillation Tower 2 7. Distillation Tower 3 8. Pumps 9. Storage Tanks 10. High Pressure Evaporator 11. Low Pressure Evaporator 12. Vacuum Evaporator Equipment was also designed for all the above mentioned steps.
Conclusion Ethylene Glycol has a number of industrial applications. Some are mentioned below 1. Heat Transfer Fluids 2. Chemical Intermediates • Adhesives and Coatings • Emulsifiers • Lubricants • Plasticizers • Polyurethane foams • Solvents • Silicon compounds • Thermoplastics • Unsaturated polyester resins 3. Polyester Resins 4. Hydrate Inhibition 5. Coolant: as a de-icing fluid The investment required for ethylene glycol manufacturing plant is high but different qualities can be produced and then exported to get profits that can
justify the high value of initial investment.
