adalah aditif gasolin untuk meningkatkan bilangan oktan MTBE dibuat dari metanol dan isobutilen Umpan berisi 23% isobutylene, 20% 1-butene and 57% 2-butenes Hanya isobutylene bereaksi dengan metanol. Bahan lain seperti: 1-butene, cis-2-butene dan trans-2-butene adalah inert untuk reaksi ini.

 Stream

1 Assume that methanol is pure. Stream 2 Stream contains 23 mole% isobutylene and 77 mole% other butenes. Stream 4 Methanol-to-isobutylene molar ratio is 2.0. R-901 Fractional conversion is 0.960 with fresh catalyst but changes daily. See section on catalyst deactivation.

 Stream

7 All of the MTBE appears in T-901 bottoms. Stream composition is 95% MTBE and 5.0 % methanol. T-902 Process water sent to scrubber is controlled so that 5.0 kmol of water are used for every 1.0 kmol of methanol. Stream 9 All of the butenes appear in this stream. Assume that the stream has had water vapor removed so that mixed butenes are the only components.

 Stream

11 Stream contains pure methanol. Stream 12 Composition is 97 mole% water and 3.0 mole% methanol
