It is a solvent for some product including nitrocellulose, resins, dyes, oils, and other organic compounds. In addition, the main usage of this organic liquid is mainly as a solvent. The primary design case is based on a production of MEG as main product and DEG and TEG as by-products.
plant design capacity is 400 KTA MEG under shell (Netherlands) license.
