The main task of MTBE additive is receiving high-octane environmentally friendly gasoline. Thanks to its properties (the high content of oxygen) it increases detonation properties and allows to save oil during the production of fuel.

For more effective result (maximum increase of octane number) during the production of gasoline, MTBE is added together with MMA. In the following diagram characteristics which manage to achieve by means of simultaneous addition of additives are visually shown.

Octane number gain (in the most admissible concentration).

ADVANTAGES OF MTBEADDITIVE

• Combined with sealing and constructional materials;
• Normalizes octane hole;
• Easily mixes up with hydrocarbons;
• Increases environmental friendliness of fuel: reduces the content of sulfur, benzene, the olefin and aromatic hydrocarbons;
• Economy of raw materials. One ton of methyl tert-butyl ether saves 2 tons of petroleum.

WHY IS IT WORTH TO BUY MTBE?

Because of deficiency of high-octane gasoline in Russia and difficulties with production of oil fractions of the corresponding quality, use of additives increasing octane number will increase every year. Today it is the universal remedy for production of gasoline with necessary characteristics combining profitability and ease of application.
