What will happen to isobutylene, methanol, and the facilities after MTBE is banned? What suitable processes, technologies, or products are there to handle these things?
Then it has to be removed, after all, MTBE causes severe pollution to water bodies
Find a way to modify it and do something else
Is it now clearly stipulated that it’s not needed?
Renovation – there’s no other option; just produce ETBE.
There’s little isopentane, and isobutane still has no outlet.
Our refining capabilities are not yet at a level that would allow for a complete ban on MTBE; it’s unlikely this will be possible in the next couple of years
A notice has been issued stating that it will be disabled in 2020. Production will be reduced next year and the year after that.
Quick action indeed; by then, there will be broken units everywhere
