Explore short and long-term solutions to handle low MEG demand

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.

Help stay profitable with low turndown, ethylene oxide catalyst selection and process optimisation

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 ethylene oxide catalyst by using detailed value-analysis tools
Explore long-term solutions, such as CO2 removal system optimisation
Shift product slate away from MEG and towards EO derivatives like 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.

Stream the webinar now to gain insights that could help you maintain your competitive position through the energy transition.
