C4 Isomerization Processes
If you're looking for a high-efficiency, cost-effective means of meeting
the demand for isobutane, take a closer look at UOP's widely-used Butamer
process.
UOP's Butamer process is a fixed-bed process that uses high-activity
chloride-promoted catalysts to isomerize normal butane to isobutane. The
Butamer process has reliably served the industry as the primary resource
for isobutane production since 1959. Continuing design, operating and
catalyst improvements have kept the Butamer process a state-of-the-art
technology.
In recent years, the technology for the isomerization of normal butane
(nC4) to isobutane (iC4) has become increasingly
important for motor fuel applications. Isobutane is a primary feedstock
for motor fuel alkylation processes, which produces an excellent and
environmentally superior gasoline-blending component.
