Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) production from ethylene The process examined is similar to Shell OMEGA process. In this process, ethylene is first oxidized with oxygen to produce ethylene oxide, which is further converted to MEG. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 8329959, issued to Shell in 2012 (2) US Patent 8217190, issued to Shell in 2012 Keywords: Ethene, Shell, OMEGA, Only MEG Advantage, Oxidation, Catalytic Process
