Faculty Advisor: Dr. Jonathan Whitlow , Dept of Chemical Engineering , Florida Institute of Technology

Abstract
The project is to design, and optimize Ethylene Oxide
Production plant with partial oxidization of oxygen
using silver based catalyst. And a CO2 recovery unit
utilizing potassium carbonate.
The annual capacity for the plant is 611millions lb/yr,
while the designed hourly production rate is 73K lb/hr
