Included activities starts

The activity starts with the production and import of "triethylene glycol" in this region.

Included activities ends

The activity ends with providing the "triethylene glycol" 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

This triethylene glycol is produced via the ethane oxidation process, with production steps including raw material preparation, catalyst usage, product recovery, purification, and impurity removal.

Process Description

Triethylene glycol (TEG), also known as triethylene glycol or diethylene glycol, has the molecular formula C6H14O4 and is an organic compound. TEG appears as a colorless or slightly yellow, transparent, viscous liquid, odorless and sweet-tasting. It is miscible with water in all proportions and soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, propanol, toluene, and carbon tetrachloride. It is combustible, highly hygroscopic, and non-corrosive to metals, plastics, and rubber.
