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.

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.

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.
