Ethermax
Ethermax : A process for making ethers (e.g., methyl t-butyl ether) by reacting tertiary olefins with alcohols. Conversion levels are increased by using Reaction with Distillation technology (also called RWD) in which the reaction takes place in a distillation column containing the catalyst-a sulfonic ion-exchange resin. Equilibrium limitations are overcome by continuously removing the products in the RWD section as the reaction occurs
