What is MTBE?

Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H12O and is a saturated aliphatic ether family. At standard temperature and pressure, it is a colorless, flammable liquid with a molecular weight of 88.15. This composition has a melting point of -9°C, a boiling point of 55.2-53°C and a vapor pressure of 0.268 bar at 20°C. MTBE is colorless, flammable, soluble in water, and volatile at room temperature. Compounds containing oxygen act as an increaser of the octane number of gasoline and have the advantage of making the combustion of gasoline more complete, significantly reducing the pollutants emitted from the exhaust of cars. In some cases, it has medical use as a gallstone dissolver. Advantages of using MTBE: significant reduction of its risks on human health and smog-forming pollutants, its advisability compared to tetraethyl lead and other additives, having a high octane number compared to other oxygenated substances, ease of obtaining raw materials for its production, appropriate vapor pressure and boiling point, reasonable cost of production, no corrosion or effect on metals (Raffinate II) as a side product (with a production of 60 thousand tons per year)

What is Raffinate II?

Butane fraction or C4 Raffinate II is a mixture of C4 hydrocarbon compounds, which is classified as a liquefied gas group. These gases are liquid under a certain pressure and temperature (e.g., in production conditions in the MTBE unit), they turn into steam at the normal environment temperature and pressure. These gases are heavier than air and their vapors are combustible. This substance is a combination of four carbon gases including butene (cis, trans 2-butene, and 1-butene) and butane (isobutane and normal butane). It is used in the production of olefinic units besides the raw materials. It is also used in the production of MEK and as fuel. The ignition temperature is -80°C to -60°C (according to DIN 51755 standard). The ignition temperature is 324°C to 465°C (according to DIN 51755). Density at 25°C is 580 kg/m3, and vapor pressure is 1.918 bar at 20°C

What is M .E .K (Methyl Ethyl Ketone)?

This material is widely used in refineries to produce engine base oil, paint, and resin industries, printing and synthetic leather as an important commercial industrial solvent. It is used as solvent for paint, thinner and vinyl, nitrocellulose, acrylic, epoxy, and urethane resins, solvent for the waxing process in motor base oil production refineries, solvent for the production process of base adhesives, solvent for varnishes and printing inks, solvent for polyurethane in synthetic leather industries, degreasing solvent for metal surfaces, and solvent for urethane varnishes to prepare the cover of magnetic strips

What is Butanol or Butyl Alcohol?

Most of the production of Sec-Butanol (SBA) is used to produce Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK). Butanol is also used in the production of Sec-Butyl Acetate and pharmaceutical intermediates. In addition, it is used as a solvent in paints, coatings, resins, and adhesives. Especially its mixture with aromatic hydrocarbons is a very suitable solvent for alkyd resins and ethyl cellulose varnishes. Since SBA is able to dissolve both water and some oils, it is used in the process of making brake oils and cleaners. Furthermore, SBA is used in the process of preparing perfumes, colors, fruit essences, and moisturizers

Why Raffinate III?

It is a byproduct of the company's production process. As a pressurized gas, this product is rich in C4 butane, being suitable for use in chemical and thermal industries

What is heavy alcohol?

Heavy alcohol is created as a byproduct in the MEK production process. It contains a mixture of heavy linear alcohols and heavy hydrocarbons, being used in fuel applications

Shimi Baft Petrochemical Company, with hope in God and relying on its strong and intelligent personnel, is able to turn most of today’s threats into opportunities by planning, striving, formulating strategies, and necessary measures centered on resistance economy. In order to achieve the important goals, it is necessary to follow the following points and solutions: 1. Policy making is the starting point of the resistance economy to modify the consumption pattern of resources and raw materials. Optimizing consumption directs production. These two together determine the company’s profit path. Increase in production and decrease in imports, which can lead to the decline and lack of prosperity and the stoppage of domestic production units, will cause economic independence, cut off dependence on foreign countries, and improve technology at a larger level. For this purpose, Shimi Baft Petrochemical has made product development to meet the needs of the consumption cycle of downstream companies, preventing foreign exchange from leaving the country as its top priority. 2. Increasing productivity in production, reducing the cost of products, better quality and more services in competition to foreign products and reducing imports, supporting the national production, especially the production of chemicals and catalysts, and helping the manufacturing workshops of mechanical parts and equipment, machinery, electricity, and precision tools. 3. Using financial resources and financial and insurance support systems of banks to control the company’s cash flow. 4. Increasing the production of science and technical knowledge by supporting knowledge-based companies. 5. Turning threats into opportunities in the process of supplying goods, shaping the national determination in the field of technology, industry, and trade when sanctions are imposed on the supply of some parts and goods to create complete self-sufficiency or at least self-reliance in the production and supply of these items. 6. Establishing special economic relations with some companies of the same group, expanding economic relations with them. 7. The formation of the spirit of economic jihad, national production, and Iranian pride, such as self-sufficiency in superior technologies and technologies to manufacture products with higher added value, helping to produce domestically manufactured chemicals with knowledge-based companies to eliminate the need for imports. 8. Following the policies of the major shareholders in line with the development and transformation of the company
