Example 4-2 Producing 200 Million
Pounds per Year in a CSTR
Close to 12.2 billion metric tons of ethylene glycol (EG) were
produced in 2000, which ranked it the twenty-sixth most produced
chemical in the nation that year on a total pound basis. About one-half
of the ethylene glycol is used for antifreeze while the other half is used
in the manufacture of polyesters. In the polyester category. 88% was
used for fibers and 12% for the manufacture of bottles and films. The
2004 selling price for ethylene glycol was $0.28 per pound.
It is desired to produce 200 million pounds per year of EG. The
reactor is to be operated isothermally. A 1 lb mol/ft 3 solution of
ethylene oxide (EO) in water is fed to the reactor (shown in Figure E4-
2.1) together with an equal volumetric solution of water containing 0.9
wt% of the catalyst H2SO4. The specific reaction rate constant is 0.311
min-1, as determined in Example 4-1, Practical guidelines for reactor CSTR i
scale-up were recently given by Mukesh1 by Warsteel2. n

volume.
b) If two 800-gal reactors were arranged in parallel, what is the
corresponding conversion?
c) If two 800-gal reactors were arranged in series, what is ihe
corressponding conversion?

series (shown in Figure E4-2.3)
will give a higher
conversion than two CSTRs in
