MTBE/Butene-1 Production Technology

Introduction
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is an ideal blending component for the production of lead-free, oxygen-containing and high-octane gasoline because of its high octane number.
SINOPEC started R&D of MTBE production technology at the beginning of the 1970’s and the first MTBE plant with a capacity of 5 KTA was developed at the end of the 1980's. From then on, improvement has been continuously made, the capacity increasingly expanded, many MTBE plants with capacity over 100 Kt/a have been designed and commissioned recently.
Butene-1 product is an important ethylene co-monomer. With continuous increase of ethylene throughput, more butene-1 is in demand. Butene-1 is obtained from the intermediate product of ethylene cracking C4 which is fractionated through butadiene extraction or butadiene hydrogenation and MTBE.
