A plant equipped with KTS’ ion exchange ring closure (IXRC) technology is benefitting the production of consistently high quality PTMEG with improved process sustainability.
Revolutionizing PTMEG Production with Ion Exchange Resin
IXRC technology replaces traditional sulfuric acid with ion exchange resin, delivering a cleaner, more efficient process. This shift brings substantial technological and operational improvements, positioning IXRC as a game-changer for the industry.
Higher Yields, Greater Efficiency
Compared to conventional methods, IXRC significantly boosts productivity, allowing customers to achieve operational goals with greater ease and speed. This advancement not only enhances performance but also provides a clear competitive edge.
Simplified Operations and Lower Costs
By eliminating the need for sulfuric acid, IXRC technology reduces equipment material requirements and capital investment. It also removes the need for tar treatment, cuts steam usage, and improves overall process sustainability.
User-Friendly and Operator-Centric Design
Ease of use is a core feature of IXRC. The system is designed for fast implementation and smooth operation, ensuring users can quickly adapt and begin reaping benefits with minimal training or transition time.
Proven Stability and Product Quality
Since its implementation, the IXRC-equipped plant has run stably for over six months, consistently delivering high-quality PTMEG. This success underscores KTS’s leadership in PTMEG innovation and technology.
Jamie Scott, Chemicals Business Platform Leader at Koch Technology Solutions said: “At KTS, innovation is driven by our commitment to creating long-term value for our customers.
“The IXRC technology exemplifies our approach – delivering higher efficiency, operational simplicity, and sustainable performance. We’re proud to set a new benchmark for PTMEG production and will continue to focus on technologies that push the industry forward.”
Setting New Industry Standards
The introduction of IXRC technology marks a new era for PTMEG production. KTS remains committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and delivering sustainable, high-performance solutions that drive customer success.
