Explore EO plant revamp strategies based on real-world projects that have improved capacity, selectivity, and operating efficiency.
Ethylene oxide plant operators are under pressure to improve performance while managing capital constraints.
In this environment, maintaining competitiveness requires quickly and efficiently adapting how your EO plant operates.
Building new capacity is expensive and time-intensive. Many producers are instead unlocking more value from their existing EO units through targeted revamps.
Fill out the form to access our EO unit Revamp Scenario, which details the benefits of strategies to optimise existing units.
Targeted EO unit revamps can unlock value across your plant by improving throughput, reducing costs, and increasing operational flexibility.
Leading producers are identifying new ways to improve plant economics, including:
The optimal approach depends on your plant configuration, operating constraints, and market environment.
Every ethylene oxide plant is different. Shell Catalysts & Technologies works closely with operators to evaluate opportunities and define the right path forward.
We aim to deliver measurable improvements through an approach that can include feasibility studies, advanced ethylene oxide catalyst technologies, and proven process solutions.
Targeted revamps have helped producers achieve meaningful gains in plant performance.
One project discussed in the Revamp Scenario delivered a significant capacity increase with relatively low capital investment, while others have improved selectivity, reduced energy use, and enhanced overall efficiency. Results vary depending on plant conditions and objectives.
