EC 203-473-3
Also known as ethylene glycol and MEG.
chemXplore tracks 16 projects involving monoethylene glycol, of which 4 are active.
14 produce it and 2 use it as feedstock.
Of the active ones, 3 new construction and 1 expansion.
Independent startup to commercialize plant‑based high‑performance polyesters (PISOX, PISA, PEIT/PEIF) using common monomers and existing industrial assets.
Stage 2 began production on 22 August, accelerating 55 billion scm from Troll West, coming online early and several hundred million NOK below the original cost estimate.
Delivered low-oxygen MEG (<20 ppb) to an offshore platform via a 20-month ship-to-ship transfer from Singapore to Dampier using nitrogen purging and five sealed handling steps.
Q2 sales fell 5% Q-o-Q; adjusted EBITDA SAR 3.38bn; H1 dividend SAR 3.3bn; Fujian complex start-up expected Q4 2026.
Q2 comparable EBIT rose 71% to €212m; portfolio moves include a graphic paper joint venture and approved demerger of the plywood unit.
New Monthey depolymerization plant converts PET and polyester textiles back into virgin-quality monomers for hard-to-recycle streams.
First LDHI anti‑agglomerant to meet OSPAR rules; controls hydrates at <1–2% water‑volume dosing, proven in Norway and the UK under deepwater conditions.
Subsea tieback will add about 11 billion Sm3 of gas, cost just over NOK 4 billion and target production start as early as 2028.
Sale transfers Ray Technology patents for bio-based MEG/MPG (up to end‑2023). Seller refocuses on FDCA/PEF; €2.7M proceeds used to repay debt (€2.0M) and dismantle pilot (€0.7M).
Probe: prolonged benzene exposure during filling—task overran; no re-assessment; respirators insufficient. Naphtha→glycol; more PPE, detector training and a safety engineer; authorities notified.
