Frequently Asked Questions

Capital requirements generally include land acquisition, construction, equipment procurement, installation, pre-operative expenses, and initial working capital. The total amount varies with capacity, technology, and location.

To start an ethylene glycol production business, one needs to conduct a market feasibility study, secure required licenses, arrange funding, select suitable land, procure equipment, recruit skilled labor, and establish a supply chain and distribution network.

Ethylene glycol production requires ethylene as the primary raw material, along with oxygen and water.

The ethylene glycol factory typically requires ethylene oxide reactor, hydrolysis reactors, heat exchangers, separation and distillation columns, and storage tanks. Supporting equipment includes pumps, compressors, control systems, and safety units for high-pressure operations.

The main steps generally include:

  • Sourcing of raw materials

  • Oxidation of ethylene-to-ethylene oxide

  • Hydrolysis of ethylene oxide to ethylene glycol

  • Separation and purification

  • Storage and packaging

  • Quality testing and control

Usually, the timeline can range from 12 to 36 months to start an ethylene glycol production plant depending on factors like plant’s capacity, regulatory approvals, and complexity of the production process. Time is also needed for design, construction, equipment installation, and trial operations.

Challenges may include high capital requirements, securing regulatory approvals, ensuring raw material supply, competition, skilled manpower availability, and managing operational risks.

Typical requirements include business registration, environmental clearances, factory licenses, fire safety certifications, and industry-specific permits. Local/state/national regulations may apply depending on the location.

The top ethylene glycol manufacturers are:

  • Akzo Nobel N.V.

  • Ashland Global Specialty Chemicals Inc.

  • BASF SE

  • China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec Group)

  • Dow Inc.

  • Formosa Plastics Corporation

  • Huntsman Corporation

  • Ineos Oxide Limited (INEOS Holdings Limited)

  • Lotte Chemical Corporation

  • Lyondellbasell Industries Inc.

  • Reliance Industries Limited

  • SABIC

  • Shell plc

Profitability depends on several factors including market demand, production efficiency, pricing strategy, raw material cost management, and operational scale. Profit margins usually improve with capacity expansion and increased capacity utilization rates.

Cost components typically include:

  • Land and Infrastructure

  • Machinery and Equipment

  • Building and Civil Construction

  • Utilities and Installation

  • Working Capital

Break even in an ethylene glycol production business typically range from 3 to 6 years, depending on plant size, capital investment, raw material pricing, market conditions, and operational efficiency. Strategic long-term contracts can help accelerate ROI.

Governments may offer incentives such as capital subsidies, tax exemptions, reduced utility tariffs, export benefits, or interest subsidies to promote manufacturing under various national or regional industrial policies.

Financing can be arranged through term loans, government-backed schemes, private equity, venture capital, equipment leasing, or strategic partnerships. Financial viability assessments help identify optimal funding routes.
