(plastemart) -- Sinopec, SABIC JV in China; Sinopec-SABIC (Tianjin)
Petrochemical Co., Ltd (SSTPC) is using METEOR process technology from Dow
Chemical Co. to produce ethylene oxide (EO) / ethylene glycol (EG) at its
recently started Sinopec Tianjin complex – the largest single EO reactor in
China. METEOR EO/EG process uses a single-reactor design and a unique EO
catalyst, which combines both high activity and high selectivity to offer an
efficient route to EO/EG production. Commercialised in 1994, the technology is
said to allow manufacturers to produce ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol with
fewer steps, less equipment and smaller plot size.
