Petro Rabigh's Saudi plant achieves 92pc catalyst selectivity RIYADH, February 17, 2021 Rabigh Refining & Petrochemical Company (Petro Rabigh) has achieved an impressive 92 per cent catalyst selectivity at the start of the most recent cycle at its 600,000-t/y monoethylene glycol (MEG) production facility in Saudi Arabia.    Petro Rabigh was founded in 2005 as a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical. The plant produces petroleum-based products and ethylene- and propylene-based derivatives.   The plant uses the advanced Shell Omega process, which is based on the catal...

Advertisement Rabigh Refining & Petrochemical Company (Petro Rabigh) has achieved a 92% catalyst selectivity at the start of the most recent cycle at its 600 000 tpy monoethylene glycol (MEG) production facility in Saudi Arabia. The plant uses the Shell OMEGA process, which is based on the catalytic conversion of both ethylene to ethylene oxide and ethylene oxide to ethylene glycol. Ethylene oxide catalyst selectivity is a key factor in the efficiency of MEG production: a higher selectivity means that smaller volumes of raw material are required to manufacture the product. The cycle that star...
