Ethylene recovery unit for ethylene oxide and glycol production
In ethylene oxide and glycol (EO/EG) production, the need to efficiently recover valuable ethylene from purge gases is crucial. Inefficient recovery methods can lead to significant material losses and increased operational costs, impacting the overall productivity of the process.
Recover ethylene from cycle gas purge
The BORSIG Ethylene Recovery Unit is a specialized system designed for ethylene oxide and glycol (EO/EG) production. This unit enables the recovery of valuable ethylene monomer from the cycle gas purge, which is essential for optimizing resource utilization and minimizing waste. The process starts with the purge gas entering an inlet filter to remove droplets before moving to the hydrocarbon-selective membrane stage. Here, ethylene is separated from argon and nitrogen. The ethylene-rich stream is directed to the suction side of the reclaim gas compressor, while the ethylene-depleted stream is routed to the boiler unit. The unit features a package design for quick installation and easy implementation. It ensures safe operation with high reliability and low maintenance, offering a short return on investment period.
