IP & E APPLICATION
ETHYLENE OXIDE PRODUCTION
The production of ethylene oxide ( EO ), a versatile chemical building block , relies on precise gas analysis measurements to ensure process safety and high productivity .
EO is formed in a reaction between oxygen and ethylene , and requires highly accurate monitoring of oxygen levels to protect the process against a risk of explosion . Quality and process control measurements are also made to support efficiency .
Safety is an essential concern , especially around the process reactors where hazardous flammable samples containing ethylene , oxygen , ethylene oxide and methane may be present .
