MTBE Production from Butane
Meyers, R., 2003, Handbook of Petroleum Refining Processes, 3rd Edition

This report presents an up-to-date, detailed cost analysis of Methyl tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) production from butane and methanol. The process examined makes use of the following catalytic processes: n-butane isomerization, similar to UOP's Butamer process; isobutane dehydrogenation, similar to UOP's Oleflex process; and isobutylene etherification, similar to UOP's Ethermax process.

MTBE E41A
This report presents a feasibility analysis of an on-purpose Methyl tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) production plant from butane and methanol 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 methanol react leading to the formation of MTBE. These steps are similar to Butamer, Oleflex and Ethermax processes in sequence.
