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.
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
Methodology
2013.
Conclusion
Ethylene Glycol has a number of industrial
applications. Some are mentioned below
1. Heat Transfer Fluids
2. Chemical Intermediates
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
