The EO/EG plant of Hainan refining ethylene project successfully produced qualified ethylene glycol products

On January 7, the 800,000 tons/year EO/EG unit of Hainan Refining Ethylene Project successfully produced qualified ethylene glycol products
.
The unit is the second largest monomer unit in the ethylene project and consumes 45% of the ethylene produced by the
ethylene cracker per year.
In order to ensure the safe and smooth start-up of the device, the project team organized desktop demonstrations for many times, repeatedly checked and confirmed the on-site start conditions, fully identified the safety risks of the start-up, and strictly implemented the standard operating procedure card system for the start of the device, truly transforming the concept of "people follow the material" into specific operable steps
.

It is reported that ethylene oxide (EO) is widely used in washing, pharmaceutical, printing and dyeing industries, in the chemical related industries can be used as a starting agent for cleaning agents, can be made for the production of dimethyl carbonate, vinyl carbonate, water reducing agent
.
Ethylene glycol (EG) is mainly used in the preparation of polyester, polyester, polyester resin, plasticizer, surfactant, synthetic fiber, cosmetics and explosives, and used as a solvent for dyes, inks, etc.
, antifreeze for the preparation of engines
.

In the next stage, Hainan Refining and Chemical will seriously summarize the experience of the start-up of the device, increase the on-site practical training of employees, and lay a solid foundation
for the subsequent safe and stable completion of the whole process of the plant.
