The extent to which the purge can be reused in the EG process depends on EG product quality considerations.\nGenerally applicable\nb.\nDistillation\nDistillation is a technique used to separate compounds with different boiling points by partial evaporation and recondensation.\nThe technique is used in EO and EG plants to concentrate aqueous streams to recover glycols or enable their disposal (e.g. by incineration, instead of their discharge as waste water) and to enable the partial reuse/recycling of water.\nOnly applicable to new plants or major plant upgrades",
