The light gasoline etherification unit can increase the conversion rate of olefins through etherification
Thread Content
What is the maximum conversion rate of olefins that can be achieved by a light gasoline etherification unit? How to calculate the conversion rate accurately?
It depends on the process used; currently, the highest conversion rate is 95% for C5 active olefins, while the conversion rate for C6 active olefins is around 50%. The etherification reaction + catalytic distillation + post-etherification process is employed, and the conversion rate can be calculated based on the analysis results of the raw materials and products.
Our company uses the etherification reaction + catalytic distillation + post-etherification process, but the conversion rate is only 80%; the catalytic distillation column does not perform as it should. Which company are you from? Can I go there to learn *learn*? Which company’s catalyst is used for bundling?
I’m not at the factory. According to available literature, the production process used by Ningxia Hengyou Chemicals is \"etherification reaction + catalytic distillation + post-etherification process\", with an overall conversion rate of 95% for C5 active olefins.
