Although cyclohexane oxidation dominates the market, because of cheaper raw materials, the hydrogenation of phenol remains competitive, offering better selectivity with fewer environmental and safety problems. In addition, this process allows efficient valorization of phenol-rich wastes from coal industries. Recently built plants make use of this technology, as reported by the engineering group Aker-Kvaerner (www.kvaerner.com, 2004). The availability of low-price phenol is the most important element for profitability. Besides the well-known cumene process, a promising route is the selective oxidation of benzene with N20 on iron-modified ZSM-5 catalyst [12]. In this way, the price of phenol may become independent of the market of acetone.

METEOR A process for making ethylene glycol from ethylene oxide. Developed by Union Carbide, first operated in 1994, and now offered by Dow Chemical Company and Aker Kvaerner. Two licenses for China were announced in 2006. 

The membrane contactor for CO2 removal deserves special attention. It can be used for natural gas treatment, dehydration, and removal of CO2 from flue gas (see Section 4.4.4). A contactor (see Figure 4.22) patented and developed for this purpose by Aker Kvaerner— pUots have been installed and tested both in Norway (at Karstp) and at a gas terminal in Scotland. This module is based on PTFE membranes. A different commercial contactor based on polyimide membranes was recently installed at Santos Gas Plant in Queensland, Australia (December 2003). Santos is the largest gas producer in Australia.
