AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the ethylene glycol production process, hydrogen resources in the purge gas are wasted in large quantities, and impurities such as methanol can easily cause adsorbent poisoning, reducing equipment lifespan.

Method used

A purge gas treatment pipeline is installed in the hydrogenation section of the ethylene glycol synthesis process. Hydrogen is recovered using a pretreatment module and a PSA module, and impurity methanol is removed by an activated alumina adsorption tower, thus extending the adsorbent life.

Benefits of technology

It effectively recovers and reuses hydrogen, removes impurities such as methanol, extends the service life of the adsorbent, avoids poisoning, and improves equipment efficiency.
