    This document outlines the steps to manufacture propylene glycol using a process involving two input streams, a mixer, continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR), and distillation column. Propylene oxide and water are mixed and fed to the CSTR where they undergo a kinetic reaction to form propylene glycol. The reactor liquid is then fed to a 10-stage distillation column to separate propylene glycol from water vapor as the distillate and bottom products, respectively. The column is specified to achieve a purity of 99.5% propylene glycol in the bottom stream.
