Eastman Develops New MEG Technology - New Ethylene Glycol Process Created with JM Davy
伊士曼化工联合戴维技术公司开发合成气制乙二醇新技术
KINGSPORT, Tenn., October 22, 2013 – Eastman Chemical Company (NYSE:EMN), in conjunction with Johnson Matthey Davy Technologies Limited (JM Davy), has developed advanced proprietary technology for the production of ethylene glycol from synthesis gas-based feed stocks.
2013年10月22日，伊士曼化工公司宣布，与庄信万丰戴维科技有限公司（JM戴维）合作开发了先进的以合成气为原料生产乙二醇的专利技术。
Ethylene glycol, commonly referred to as mono ethylene glycol (MEG), is a key industrial chemical and is also a building block in the production of polyesters for fiber and packaging applications. This new technology enables the production of MEG from a variety of raw materials, including coal, natural gas, or biomass and is based on new, proprietary catalysts and process design developed by Eastman and JM Davy. Unlike other recent syngas based processes, this new technology does not go through oxalate intermediates. Extensive pilot plant demonstration of the new process is nearing completion and dialogue is underway for the first demonstration.
乙二醇通常指的是单乙二醇（MEG），是重要的工业化学品，也是生产聚酯纤维和包装材料的重要原料。这项新技术的原料可来自包括煤，天然气或生物质，该技术基于伊士曼和JM戴维开发的新的专利催化剂和工艺设计。不同于其他合成气制乙二醇技术，该技术不经过草酸类中间体。目前该新技术的大型中试装置已接近完工，首个示范装置正在谈判中。
“This world-class technology is well positioned to enable global growth for ethylene glycol, a key industrial product,” said Dr. Gregory W. Nelson, Eastman's senior vice president and chief technology officer. “The combined expertise of Eastman and JM Davy in synthesis gas chemistry enabled our best process and catalyst scientists to create a superior technology and bring it to market for licensing.”
“这个世界级的技术将促进乙二醇这一关键工业材料在全球的增长”，伊士曼公司高级副总裁兼首席技术官Gregory W. Nelson博士说。“伊士曼和JM戴维在合成气化学领域专业知识的结合，使我们最好的工艺和催化剂科学家们创造了一项卓越的技术，并把它推向技术授权市场”。
“This state of the art technology complements JM Davy's portfolio of licensed technologies including syngas and methanol technologies and provides a unique opportunity for customers to enter the MEG market”, said Antoine Bordet, managing director of JM Davy.
“这个先进的技术补充了JM戴维的技术许可组合，包括合成气和甲醇技术，并为客户提供了一个独一无二的机会进入乙二醇市场”，JM戴维的董事总经理Antoine Bordet说。
