The CDEthers® process produces a combination of MTBE, TAME and C6/C7 ethers by the catalytic etherification of isobutylene, isoamylene, reactive C6 olefins and reactive C7 olefins with methanol.
Both the CDMtbe® and CDEtbe® technologies are highly-flexible in processing various hydrocarbon feedstocks from the FCC/RFCC and/or steam cracker and dehydrogenation units to meet refinery or petrochemical requirements.
CDTame®/CDTaee® Processes—Tertiary Amyl Methyl Ether (TAME) or Tertiary Amyl Ethyl Ether (TAEE) is formed by the catalytic etherification of isoamylene with either methanol or ethanol.
