MTBE Production Cost | Q2 2024

Updated Reports Examining MTBE Manufacturing Costs

Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining MTBE production costs. Each Intratec Commodity Production Cost report listed below is a comprehensive study of a specific MTBE production process and related MTBE production costs, covering three key aspects:

  • A complete description of the MTBE production process examined
  • An in-depth analysis of the related MTBE plant capital cost (Capex)
  • An evaluation of the respective MTBE plant operating costs (Opex)

All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2024).

MTBE Production from Raffinate-1

This study provides an economical analysis of Methyl tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) production from a raffinate-1 stream and methanol 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 methanol in a conventional reactor and in a reactive distillation column.

Details: 700 kta China-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue A   From $999 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 700 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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.

MTBE Production from FCC C4 Raffinate

This process examined provides an economical analysis of Methyl tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) production from FCC C4 raffinate and methanol using a process similar to UOP's Ethermax process for isobutylene etherification in China. In this process, isobutylene from FCC C4 raffinate is submitted to etherification with methanol in a conventional reactor and in a reactive distillation column.

Details: 700 kta China-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue B   From $999 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 700 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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.

MTBE Production from Butane

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.

Details: 700 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue C   From $1,499 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 700 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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.

MTBE Production from Isobutylene

This report presents a techno-economic analysis of MTBE production from methanol and isobutylene in the Unites States. In this process, similar to UOP Ethermax process, a isobutylene-rich stream obtained from an isobutane dehydrogenation plant is etherified with methanol, producing MTBE.

Details: 700 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue D   From $1,199 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 700 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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.
