Companies building plants for production of the methanol additive methyltertiary butyl ether (MTBE) are considering building swing facilities that can produce ETBE (ethyl tertiary butyl ether), an additive which can be used in reformulated gasoline to reduce emissions.
But, says Susan Borghoff, a staff scientist at the Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology, toxicity information on alternatives is sketchy, and neither ETBE nor tert-amyl-methyl ether, another proposed replacement, have undergone cancer bioassays.
A demonstration production run of ETBE is planned for the facility by year-end.
