Our company is building a new MTBE production facility – what procedures are required?
As a supplementary note: ★Methyl tert-butyl ether, abbreviated as MTBE, has a melting point of -109°C and a boiling point of 55.2°C. It is a colorless, transparent liquid with a high octane rating; it possesses an ether-like odor. It is an ideal component for producing lead-free, high-octane oxygenated gasoline, and is widely used around the world as a gasoline additive. ★It not only effectively increases the octane rating of gasoline, but also improves vehicle performance, reduces the CO content in exhaust gases, and lowers the production costs of gasoline. Furthermore, MTBE is also an important chemical raw material; for example, high-purity isobutylene can be produced through cracking. MTBE is an organic ether with an oxygen content of 18.2%. Its vapor is heavier than air and can spread along the ground; it can burn when in contact with strong oxidizers. The purity of MTBE is approximately 97%–99.5%, and its molecular formula is: CH3OC(CH3)3
Project approval, environmental impact assessment, and safety assessment are essential, right?
Go through the necessary procedures at departments such as those responsible for environmental impact assessments, safety evaluations, as well as the Environmental Protection Bureau, Quality Supervision Bureau, Security Bureau, Economic Commission, and others; there are also departments related to electricity, among others.
