- Shell EO
- Short Name
- EO Reactor
- Description
-
In the Reaction section, EO is produced by catalyzed, direct partial Oxidation of Ethylene. Additionally, a portion of the Ethylene fully oxidizes to form CO2 and Water. These Reactions take place in an Isothermal (Tubular) Reactor at temperatures of 230–270°C. The Reaction is moderated/optimised using an Organic Chloride.
