    The document describes the integrated process of producing ethylene oxide and ethylene glycols. Ethylene oxide produced in the reaction system can be recovered as glycols with purified ethylene oxide as a co-product. The integrated process allows for significant utilities savings and recovery of all streams as high-quality products. Ethylene and oxygen are fed into a catalytic reactor where the reaction is controlled by steam temperature. Ethylene oxide is removed from the reaction gas and purified. Glycols are then produced through a multi-effect evaporation and distillation process. Overall recovery of ethylene oxide is 99.7% with high yields of ethylene oxide and glycols per kg of ethylene fed into the process.

    The passage describes the integrated process for producing ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol. It recovers products at high yields and purities while minimizing waste.

    Ethylene and oxygen are fed to a catalytic reactor where the reaction occurs. The products are then scrubbed, stripped, and purified through multiple distillation columns to separate the final products.

    The main products are ethylene oxide, monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG), and triethylene glycol (TEG).

    The modern ethylene oxide/ethylene glycols plants are highly integrated units where ethylene
    oxide from the ethylene oxide reaction system can be recovered as glycols with a co-product of
    purified ethylene oxide if desired. The integration allows for a significant utilities savings as well
    as the recovery of all bleed streams as high grade product, which would otherwise have been
    recovered as a lesser grade product. The integrated plant recovers all MEG as fibergrade product
    and ethylene oxide product as low aldehyde product. The overall recovery of the ethylene oxide
    from the reaction system is 99.7% with only a small loss as heavy glycol residue.
    Ethylene and oxygen in a diluents gas made up of a mixture of a mainly methane or nitrogen
    along with carbon dioxide and argon are fed to a multi-tubular catalytic reactor (1).
    The temperature of reaction in controlled by adjusting the pressure of the steam which is
    generated in the shell side of the reactor, and removes the heat of reaction. The ethylene oxide
    (EO) produced is removed from the rection gas by scrubbing with water in a Scrubber after Heat
    Exhanger with the circulating reactor feed gas.
    The by-product CO2 is removed from the scrubbed reaction gas in a CO2 removal system (3,4)
    before it is recompressed and returned to the reaction system where ethylene and oxygen
    concentrations are restored before returning to the reactor.
    The ethylene oxide in steam-stripped (5)
    From thescrubbing solution and recovered as a more concentrated water solution (6) that is
    suitable for use in a EO purification system (7) or as feed to a glycol plant. The Stripped water
    solution in cooled and returned to the Scrubber for reuse.
    The glycol plant feed along with any high aldehyde EO bleeds from the EO purification section
    are sent to a glycol reactor (9) and then to a multi-effect evaporation train (10,11,12) for removal
    of the bulk of the water from the glycols. The glycol is then dried (13) and the passes to the
    glycol distillation train (14,15,16) where the MEG,DEG,TEG products are recovered.
    Yields : The ethylene yield for that portion of the production going to purified EO is 1.31 kg of
    EO product / kg of ethylene. The yield to glycol is 1.81 kg of glycols per kg of ethylene.

    Product Quality : When ethylene oxide is produced as a co-product the EO meets low aldehyde
    specification requirement of 10 ppm aldehyde maximum that is required by most derivative
    units. Glycol product qualities have set the standard for the industry.
