OSTI ID:5239046
Chemical Research and Licensing Co. (CR and L) began developing its catalytic distillation technology in 1978. The first commercially significant application was for the manufacture of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), which started up in a Houston refinery in 1981. This unit has operated successfully, since then several other MTBE Units have gone into service. During the last two years, CR and L has worked intensively on development of aromatics alkylation by catalytic distillation, with specific emphasis on the manufacture of cumene. Previous papers have described the catalytic distillation process as applied to MTBE manufacture. This paper presents the advantages of the CR and L cumene process compared to some others which are widely used in the U.S. today.
