Oxygenates
Over the past decade, refiners worldwide have increased their use
of oxygenates as gasoline blending components. Not only do oxygenates
have the ability to burn cleaner in internal combustion engines, but
refiners are free to choose from many different oxygenates to create
these final blends.
UOP can provide you with the technology to produce many of these oxygenates
from low-value light olefins available within your refineries. Commonly
used oxygenates include ethanol and various ethers such as MTBE, ETBE,
TAME and DIPE. UOP's unique Ethermax technology utilizes a proprietary
reaction with distillation technology to convert such oxygenates into
blendable components. UOP also offers the Oxypro process for
refiners who find the economics of adding DIPE favorable.
Count on UOP experts to help you determine which oxygenate is best
for your unique applications.
