MTR Ships Ethylene Recovery Unit Project in Taiwan

July 2015

MTR recently shipped an Ethylene Recovery Unit (ERU) to Oriental Union Chemical Company (OUCC), based in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.  The ERU is designed to recover more than 500 kg/hr of ethylene from the purge gas in OUCC’s Ethylene Oxide (EO) plant and will use MTR’s unique argon selective membrane to separate and recover ethylene from argon.  Start-up is expected in mid-2016.
