Included activities starts

The activity starts with the production and import of "Ethylene oxide" in this region.

Included activities ends

The activity ends with providing the "Ethylene oxide" to the consumers of this product. Transportation is included; however, product losses during transport are negligible and therefore not included.

Description

This is a market dataset representing the consumption market in the region. It includes transportation of the product from the factory gate to consumption, with transport services calculated according to the regional transportation conditions for the product.

Activity Description

Ethylene oxide is produced via the ethane oxidation process, and the production process includes feedstock preparation, catalyst application, product recovery, purification, and impurity removal.

Process Description

Ethylene oxide is an organic compound with the chemical formula C2H4O. It is a toxic carcinogenic substance that was previously used in the production of sterilizing agents. Ethylene oxide is flammable and explosive, making it difficult to transport over long distances, thus exhibiting strong regional characteristics. It is widely applied in industries such as laundry, pharmaceuticals, dyeing, and detergents.
