摘要

MEGIobal (Dubai) has chosen Dow Chemical's Oyster Creek site at Freeport, TX, for the location of a world-scale ethylene glycol (EG) facility, which the company expects to bring online in mid-2019. The plant will have capac-. ity for 750,000-800,000 m.t./year of EG. "The Oyster Creek site provides MEGIobal with greater flexibility to satisfy our customers' needs for consistent and reliable. delivery of ethylene glycol products, especially in the growing US and Asian markets," says Ramesh Ramachandran, president of M EGlobal. The plant will receive ethylene from Dow's new Freeport ethane cracker under a long-term supply agreement. Terms have not been disclosed, but Ramachandran says' the agreement will give the plant "ethylene producer economics."
