· Ind. Eng. Chem., Prod. Res. Dev.; (United States)
The product quality of alkylate produced from sulfuric or hydrofluoric acid catalyzed alkylation plants can be improved by pretreating the olefin feed using an integrated system consisting of hydroisomerization and MTBE process technologies. The pilot plant studies conducted to develop the hydroisomerization and MTBE technologies are described including figures and a discussion of the effect of key operating variables on each part of the system. A description and the results of a pilot plant study conducted to compare the quality of alkylates produced from normal butene isomers are presented. Proposed mechanisms for sulfuric and hydrofluoric acid catalyzed alkylation processes are discussed along with a comparison of the octane quality of the butene isomer alkylates produced by each process. 17 refs.
