    The document summarizes the design and optimization of an ethylene oxide production plant with an annual capacity of 611 million pounds per year and an hourly production rate of 73,000 pounds per hour. The main reaction is the partial oxidation of ethylene with oxygen to produce ethylene oxide. There is also a side reaction where ethylene and oxygen produce carbon dioxide and water. The capital costs total $11.2 million, with the largest portions going towards reactors at 31% and compressors also at 31%. The design includes a CO2 recovery unit using potassium carbonate.
