Navigating the challenging glycol market

The current surplus in monoethylene glycol (MEG) production capacity relative to demand has led to a significant downturn in MEG prices, creating challenging times for ethylene oxide (EO) and ethylene glycol (EG) producers.

Reverting to low work rates can present operational challenges. Fortunately, strategies exist, and plants have been able to run under low turndown conditions.

This webinar will outline short-, medium- and long-term solutions, by profiling real-world case studies that demonstrate how EO/EG plant operators can:

manage turndown by utilising strategies for extremely low work rates;
select the best catalyst by using detailed value-analysis tools;
explore long-term solutions, such as CO2 removal system optimisation; and
shift the product slate away from MEG and towards other EO derivatives such as carbonates.

In addition, we will present a longer-term vision that could help operators to generate added value from emerging HPEO derivatives that are synergistic with the energy transition.

Shell Catalysts & Technologies is committed to sharing knowledge, expertise and best practices.
