Braskem and Haldor Topsoe start up demo unit for developing renewable MEG

  • The mechanical completion of the innovative first process step of the demonstration plant is the first milestone to be achieved by Braskem and Haldor Topsoe’s partnership to validate the MOSAIK™ sugar-to-biochemicals solution for production of cost-competitive bio-based MEG (monoethylene glycol). Currently, MEG is made from fossil-based feedstocks, such as naphtha, gas or coal.
  • 当时在2019年3月1日开始运作,预计示范厂预计每年生产每年100多吨甘蓝醛,梅格型常规。
  • 梅格是一个关键组成部分,PET塑料用于food packaging, especially bottles, and polyester fabrics. The global MEG market represents a value of 25 billion dollars.

Mosaik™演示厂将每年生产超过100吨甘醇醛,用于PET塑料和涤纶FABRICS_SMALL中使用的梅格的前兆德拉斯克和哈尔德尔塔索今天宣布,他们已经达到了他们的演示工厂的MoSaik™工艺步骤的机械完成,这将从糖产生生物的MEG。位于丹麦Lygby的示范厂是迈克克斯™解决方案的重要一步,并以工业规模开始生产,该工业规模计划于2023年开始。该工厂展示了该技术的所有关键设计特征,并可以产生更多每年100吨甘醇醛,在下一个过程步骤中被转换为MEG。

Construction and pre-commissioning of the MOSAIK™ process step have been completed as planned and on schedule. The next activities in this part of the demonstration plant will be start-up and operation with the aim to achieve key technical targets and confirm economic feasibility of the process. Operation will begin March 1.

In parallel with operating the first process step, the partners will complete the construction of the next process step, the downstream conversion to MEG. Mechanical completion is expected before the end of 2019.

“Haldor Topsoe is a world leader within catalytic solutions, and we are determined to maintain that position also in the renewables arena. So we are extremely pleased to be able to begin the next phase of the validation of the MOSAIK™ solution for bio-based MEG together with Braskem. Our goal is to show that innovative catalytic technologies can make chemicals from biomass a commercially attractive option,” says Kim Knudsen, Executive Vice President at Haldor Topsoe.

“The process for developing renewable MEG in partnership with Haldor Topsoe represents a major advance in competitiveness for Green PET. The partnership strengthens the leading role we play and adds value to our I’m green™ portfolio, which already features Green Polyethylene and Green EVA, both made from sugarcane. It also will further corroborate our vision of using biopolymers as a way to capture carbon, which helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Gustavo Sergi, Director of Renewable Chemicals at Braskem.

Topsoe为该项目提供了一个带布里斯克的包装解决方案,包括工艺设计,工程,催化剂和技术。

More about MOSAIK™ for production of MEG

MOnoSAccharide IndustrIal Cracker – or MOSAIK™ – is a solution for cracking of sugars to an intermediary product which can be further converted to monoethylene glycol (MEG) or other biochemicals, such as methyl vinyl glycolate or glycolic acid, using Haldor Topsoe’s patented processes and catalysts. Innovation Fund Denmark has co-financed the development and upscaling of MOSAIK™.

从生物量生产meg的当前过程涉及几个步骤。这可以减少到两个简单的步骤,使用MOSAIK™和TopSOE独特的催化剂和技术生产Meg。新的解决方案带来了投资成本,提高了一级的生产力,可以在商业条目上与化石原料(石脑油)的传统生产竞争。

MEG is predominantly used in the manufacture of polyester (PET) resins, films and fibers. The global MEG market represents a value of approximately 25 billion dollars.
