Beneficial use of thermal secondary energy resources in the rectification cycle at ethylene glycol production unit

Abstract

Efficient use of secondary energy resources at the oil and gas chemical industry plants affects the final cost of the products. One of the energy-intensive cycles in organic production is the rectification process, which is accompanied by a high yield of thermal secondary energy resources. The energy intensity of the process is associated with the need to evaporate one of the mixture components while consuming at least the vapourization heat. There is the option of organization of technical solution of useful use of thermal energy of condensate after the rectification cycle for the purpose of heating the reaction mixture at the article.
