Procurement Resource Analyses the Production Cost of Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether in its New Report
Analyses Overview of The New Production Cost Report of Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether
The new report by Procurement Resource, a global procurement research, and consulting firm, looks in-depth into the costs involved in the production of Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether. The comprehensive report analyses the production cost of the material, covering the raw material costs and co-product credit, equipment costs, land and site costs, labour wages, maintenance costs, financing charges, and depreciation costs. The extensive study describes the stepwise consumption of material and utilities along with a detailed process flow diagram. The report also assesses the latest developments within the industry that might influence Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether production cost, looking into the capacity expansions, plant turnarounds, mergers, acquisitions, and investments.
Product Definition:
MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is a colourless, volatile, and flammable liquid that is very slightly soluble in water. The market for methyl tertiary butyl ether is divided into three categories: gasoline additive, isobutene, solvent, and other uses. Because it is necessary for the fuel to boost the oxygen content of gasoline, the gasoline additive category has a large market share.
Factors Impacting the Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether Production Cost:
Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) is a common gasoline additive that acts as an anti-knocking agent and an octane booster in gasoline engines. MTBE is the world’s second-largest gasoline additive type due to its lower cost and efficacy. Aside from that, MTBE is a cost-effective replacement for harmful gasoline components such as olefins, lead, benzene, and sulphur. The rising demand for usage as an anti-knocking agent and an octane booster in gasoline engines will be the primary reasons driving the market’s growth in the mid-term. On the other hand, the use of ethanol instead of MTBE as an oxygenate additive to minimise exhaust toxicity, and its categorization as a pollutant and consequent restriction on its usage in gasoline blending in the United States and Canada, are important limitations for the market analysed. These factors are expected to impact the production cost of Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether.
Procurement Resource Assessment of Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether Production:
The cost of producing Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether by etherification, from C4 raffinate and methanol, from butane and methanol, and isobutylene and methanol, is examined in a report published by Procurement Resource. The etherification technique was used in the first production of methyl tert-butyl ether from raffinate-1 and methanol. To create methyl tert-butyl ether, the etherification is carried out first in a conventional reactor and then in a reactive distillation column. In addition, the etherification is carried out in a normal reactor and then in a reactive distillation column to generate methyl tert-butyl ether in the second manufacturing method of methyl tert-butyl ether, which is produced from catalytic cracking of C4 raffinate stream and methanol. The three catalytic processes are employed in the third production process of methyl tert-butyl ether from butane and methanol, which is an integrated process. Butane is first isomerized to yield isobutane, which is then dehydrogenated to provide isobutylene. Finally, the isobutylene generated is etherified, yielding methyl tert-butyl ether. Production of methyl tert-butyl ether from isobutylene stream and methanol takes place in the fourth process. To create methyl tert-butyl ether, the etherification is carried out first in a conventional reactor and then in a reactive distillation column.
