Description:

The US. 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments have increased demand for oxygenates. Accordingly, the petroleum industry is intensively developing new and cost-effective technologies for producing oxygenates on the scale needed to meet regulatory requirements. Two attractive oxygenates are mE Cmethyl tertiary butyl etha) and TAME (tutiary amyl methyl ether), whose production depends on, respectively, isobutylene and isoamylene. Mobil and BP have jointly developed ISOFIN CISOmerization of oleFINs), a process for isomerizing linear olefins to d 0 branched olefins. Although a number of olefii isomerization processes have been developed and proposed for commercialization, ISOFIN is unique largely due to the superior performance and stability of a proprietary catalyst developed by Mobil. Parallel development of Cd and CS olefins technologies has been conducted.
