Updated Reports Examining Ethyl Tert-Butyl Ether Manufacturing Costs
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand Commodity Cost of Production reports analyzing the costs of Ethyl Tert-Butyl Ether manufacturing processes. Each report describes an industrial plant based on a specific Ethyl Tert-Butyl Ether process. The report also presents an independent analysis of the costs of Ethyl Tert-Butyl Ether production, encompassing plant capital costs (capex) and plant operating costs (opex). All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q1 2024).
ETBE Production from Raffinate-1
This study provides an economical analysis of Ethyl tert-Butyl Ether (ETBE) production from a raffinate-1 stream and ethanol using a process similar to UOP's Ethermax process for isobutylene etherification in China. In this process, isobutylene from raffinate-1 is submitted to etherification with ethanol in a conventional reactor and in a reactive distillation column.

The cost analyses presented in the report ETBE E11C target a 700 kta (kilometric tons per annum) China-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
ETBE Production from FCC C4 Raffinate
This study presents an economical analysis of Ethyl tert-Butyl Ether (ETBE) production from FCC C4 raffinate and ethanol using a process similar to UOP's Ethermax process for isobutylene etherification in China. In this process, the etherification reaction of isobutylene from FCC C4 raffinate stream with ethanol is conducted in two steps, the first step being in a conventional reactor and the second in a reactive distillation column.

The cost analyses presented in the report ETBE E21C target a 700 kta (kilometric tons per annum) China-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
ETBE Production from Butane
This report presents the feasibility analysis of an on-purpose Ethyl tert-Butyl Ether (ETBE) production plant from butane and ethanol in the United States. Initially, n-butane is isomerized to isobutane, which is then subjected to a dehydrogenation, yielding isobutylene. In the final step, generated isobutylene and ethanol react leading to the formation of ETBE. These steps are similar to Butamer, Oleflex and Ethermax processes in sequence.

The cost analyses presented in the report ETBE E31A target a 700 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
ETBE Production from Isobutylene
This study presents an economical analysis of Ethyl tert-Butyl Ether (ETBE) production from isobutylene and ethanol in the United States. In this process, isobutylene obtained from a butane hydrogenation plant is submitted to a etherification reaction with ethanol conducted in two steps. The first step is in a conventional reactor and the second in a reactive distillation column.
Details: 700 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2024 | 107 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report ETBE E41A target a 700 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.

About Ethyl Tert-Butyl Ether. Ethyl Tert-Butyl Ether (a.k.a. ETBE, 2-Ethoxy-2-Methyl-Propane) is an aliphatic ether having ethyl and tert-butyl as the two alkyl components, manufactured by etherification of isobutylene with ethanol, in the presence of an acidic ion-exchange resin catalyst. ETBE has a lower Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) and better octane properties than MTBE. As a pure component, ETBE appears as clear light yellow liquid.
Ethyl Tert-Butyl Ether Uses. The main use of ETBE is as an oxygenate gasoline additive to reduce carbon monoxide and soot emissions,offering greater air quality benefits than ethanol,while being technically and logistically less challenging. Unlike ethanol,ETBE does not induce gasoline evaporation,one of that causes of smog,and does not absorb moisture from the atmosphere.
Intratec Methodology. Intratec distilled its expertise, gained from more than a decade of supporting companies worldwide in the analysis of commodities markets and process economics, and developed a consistent report development methodology.
The methodology ensures a holistic, coherent, and consistent techno-economic evaluation, guiding the development of a report that allows readers to fully understand a specific process technology for the production of a commodity. In addition to being based on a common methodology, all Intratec reports that approach industrial processes have a common structure, i.e., indexes, tables and charts share similar standards. This ensures that Intratec’s readers know upfront what they will get and, more than that, will be able to compare technologies addressed in different reports.
Our methodology is continuously tested and proven by the many corporations involved with the commodities sector, R&D centers, EPC companies, financial institutions and government agencies that rely on our reports.
