Thank you, Mr juan,
I have now full details of MTBE and only other use for it in industrial solvents but when a oil firm imports a large qty it can only be for mixing with petrol (gasoline) as an octane booster without caring for the health of unvary users.
I am writing to (our) Govt of India.

Subramanian

Hello Subramanian.
For the possibles uses of MTBE try a search at the United States Patent
Office using MTBE or Methyl Terbutyl Ether.
www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html
www.uspto.gov/netahtml/search-bool.html
It might be a lot but select for chemical synthesis using MTBE as one of
the reacting compounds, specially if you know or are able to know, that
they have at least a chemical reactor for organic synthesis. With that
information you could look for the line of products from that 'reputed oil
refining and marketing company' and guest if they can use in some of them.
So, you will be somehow ready for the answer 'we use it for that products,
not for gasoline'.

Subject: [Biofuel] Query on MTBE
Hello Members,
MTBE - Methyl tertiary butyl ether - an oxygenate for blending with
gasoline in U.S around 1990, acquired a bad reputation quickly because of
its capacity for polluting the environment and affecting human beings. I
understand that the groundwater in most parts of US has been polluted with
MTBE to varying degrees; it was banned in certain States of US for mixing
with gasoline.
It is banned in India too, as an oxygenate. Can any of you tell me what
could be the possible use of MTBE other than as an oxygenate additive when
a reputed oil refining and marketing company buys 10 tmt of MTBE from VITOL
traders. I want to be doubly sure before raising this in the Indian
Press.Thank you.
Regards,
Subramanian
