This report presents a cost analysis of Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) production from ethylene oxide. In this process ethylene oxide is hydrolyzed to MEG. Diethylene glycol (DEG) and triethylene glycol (TEG) are also generated as by-products in the process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Ethylene Oxide", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition (2) "Ethylene Glycol", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Shell Master, Scientific Design, Oxidation
This report presents a cost analysis of Orthophthalic Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) production. The process examined is a typical batch process. Resin formulation is mainly based on the following compounds: phthalic and maleic anhydrides, monoethylene glycol, diethyelene glycol, propylene glycol and styrene. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Polyesters, Unsaturated", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition Keywords: UPR, Eastman Chemical, Aldol Reaction, MAN, DEG, MEG
Like genomics, which defines genes in a genome irrespective of functionality, metabolomics profiles all metabolites in a biological sample irrespective of the chemical and physical properties of these molecules. Metabolomics can potentially define cellular processes by providing a measure of the ultimate phenotype of an organism, characterized by the collage of small molecules whose levels of accumulation is altered in response to genetic and environmentally induced changes in gene expression.
This report presents a cost analysis of Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) production from ethylene. This process consists of a two-steps process. First, ethylene is oxidized with oxygen to produce ethylene oxide, which is further hydrolyzed to MEG. Diethylene glycol (DEG) and triethylene glycol (TEG) are also generated as by-products in the process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Ethylene Oxide", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition (2) "Ethylene Glycol", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Ethene, Shell Master, Scientific Design, Oxidation, Dow METEOR
This report presents alternatives for producing Ethylene from different feedstocks and a cost comparison of these alternatives, across different countries. More specifically, the report compares the costs of Ethylene production through the following pathways: * Pathway 1: Ethylene Production from Ethane * Pathway 2: Ethylene Production from Ethane and Propane * Pathway 3: Green Ethylene Production from Ethanol In Pathways 1 and 2, Ethylene is produced via steam cracking of different feedstocks: ethane and a mixture of ethane and propane. In Pathway 3, Ethylene is produced from ethanol, which is a renewable feedstock. The analysis presented in this report includes: * A comparison of the economic potential of the pathways listed above in several countries, comprising: - Comparative analysis of capital costs - Comparative analysis of production costs - Comparison between product price and raw materials costs of each pathway * An overview of each production pathway, including: - Raw material(s) consumption figures and product(s) generated - Related technology licensors and block flow diagram of representative industrial processes Keywords: Hydrocarbon Pyrolysis, Cracking Furnace, Ethene, Propene, Shale Gas, CB&I Lummus, Technip, Shaw Stone & Webster, Kellogg-Braun & Root, KBR, Linde, Green Ethylene, Braskem, Chematur Technologies, Petron Scientech, Scientific Design, Dow Chemical, BP, Ethanol Dehydration

This report presents a cost analysis of Ethyl Acetate production from ethylene and acetic acid. In this process, ethyl acetate is produced via a direct addition reaction of acetic acid to ethylene. The process under analysis is similar to two processes developed independently: the AVADA process, owned by INEOS and formerly owned by BP, and Showa Denko's Direct Addition Process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): US Patent 6,794,535 issued to BP Chemicals Limited Keywords: AVADA, Ethyl Acetate, EA, BP
