The MTBE operation consists of various units; the focal units are De Iso Butanizer (DIB), Butamer, Oleflex and Ethermax. Methanol produced from QAFAC, mixed butane from QP NGL facilities and water with power from KAHRAMAA and small amounts of chemicals to be used such as: 10% Caustic, DMDS, PERC and Chlorine are the required raw materials needed to generate MTBE.

Environmental, economic and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels. By Jason Hill et al. The authors try to determine whether ethanol, produced from corn grain, and biodiesel, produced from soybeans provide benefits over the petroleum-based fuels they displace. To be a viable alternative to fossil fuels, a biofuel (ethanol or biodiesel) should provide a net energy gain, have superior environmental benefits, be economically competitive with fossil fuels and producible in…
