Dow’s METEOR™ EO/EG technology
Designed to produce purified EO, EG or purified EO and EG as an integrated process. The METEOR™ Process, which stands for the Most Effective Technology for Ethylene Oxide Reaction, changed the competitive landscape by combining process simplicity, safety and excellent catalyst technology in one design. This helps deliver a major reduction in capital requirements as well as operating and fixed costs, further resulting in:
- Up to 20% reduction in major equipment
- Up to 40% reduction plot plan size
- Up to 50% reduction in control valves
- Up to 40% reduction in flow elements and up to 30% reduction in safety valves
Dow’s EO-only process, referred to as the METEOR™ HEXTEO Process, for making EO Derivatives helps customers recover over 99% of the EO produced in their reactor as high-purity EO.
Case Study: Enabling more efficient ethylene oxide production
Learn how a typical EO/EG plant can reduce 60,000 MT of CO in a 3-year catalyst life cycle with Dow’s METEOR™ EO-RETRO 2000 Catalyst.
News Release: Dow collaborates with PETRONAS
PETRONAS commits to carbon reduction in support of Official Carbon Partnership between Dow and International Olympic Committee (IOC).
