Ethylene Oxide and Ethylene Glycol Reactor Design – Training Services

Ethylene Oxide and Ethylene Glycol Reactor Design – Training Services focuses on the reaction engineering, catalyst selection, and process design involved in the industrial production of ethylene oxide (EO) and its downstream conversion to ethylene glycol (EG). This training covers the selective oxidation of ethylene over silver-based catalysts, competing combustion reactions, heat and mass transfer in multitubular reactors, and reactor temperature control. Participants learn to model EO formation kinetics, simulate reactor performance using tools like ASPEN Plus, and evaluate conversion, selectivity, and energy efficiency. Case studies include integrated EO/EG process design and safety considerations for handling explosive mixtures.
