Over the years, Dow has invested heavily in research and development to continually improve the process technology. Compared to competitive processes, METEOR lowers plant capital cost requirements for a new facility due to its streamlined process design and also reduces operating costs because of its high-selectivity, high-activity EO catalyst, which enhances raw material utilization, offering licensees the highest financial return for the production of EO/EG.
The EG-2 Plant is owned by TKOC and is managed, operated and maintained by EQUATE Petrochemical Company. Ethylene glycols from the EG-2 facility will be sold by MEGlobal. TKOC & EQUATE are joint ventures among Dow, PIC, Boubyan Petrochemical Company and Al Qurain Petrochemical Industries. MEGlobal is a joint venture between Dow and PIC.
