[0002] Ethylene oxide is an organic compound and a toxic carcinogen, previously used to manufacture fungicides. Ethylene oxide is flammable and explosive, making it difficult to transport over long distances and, therefore, highly localized. It is widely used in the laundry, pharmaceutical, and printing and dyeing industries. In the chemical industry, it can be used as a starter for cleaning agents.
[0003] The tail gas generated after the use of ethylene oxide needs to be collected and treated uniformly. The conventional collection method is tank storage. The tank is generally placed vertically and at a very high height, which makes maintenance difficult and risky. After the vacuum is drawn, the ethylene oxide tail gas is transported into the tank. However, the air pressure of ethylene oxide stored inside the tank is very high, and there are few safety and explosion-proof structures, so there is a risk of tank rupture. Utility Model Content
