  1. Proposal for Ethylene Glycol Distillation Tower Presenters: Demetrius Henry Tyler Ware Craig Staton

  2. Outline • Background • Process Flow • Design Details • Material and Energy Balances • Equipment Sizes and Design • Capital and Operating Costs • Overall Process Economics

  3. Background • Reclaimed Ethylene Glycol from auto repair shops • 25 mole% of Ethylene Glycol and Water • Provide a free service to get raw material • Use the r.m. to distill out nearly pure Ethylene Glycol to sell back

  4. Process Flow

  5. Design Details • Column height/diameter • Number of Plates • Plate height • Size of the re-boiler • Size of Condenser • Batch or Continuous • Piping

  6. Material/Energy Balance (Condenser)
