MTBE is an ether compound containing oxygen in its molecular structure and is widely used as an octane booster in automotive gasoline. Among various octane boosters such as MTBE, ETBE, TAME, and GTBA, MTBE stands out as one of the representative gasoline blends due to its availability, properties, and price. ...
Did you know that prioritizing emissions monitoring throughout your facility can benefit your business’s success and productivity? Learn more about the importance of volatile organic compound leak detection and related LDAR ...
Contaminants of concern, like Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) can seep into the soil and groundwater and make the drinking water unsafe to consume. ...
Project Location: California North Coast Volume of soil: 1915 yd3 Contamination type(s): Gasoline and MTBE Average level of contamination: 306 PPM gasoline; 31 PPM MTBE Results from confirmation testing: Non-detect for gasoline in all samples (sensitivity at parts-per-million). Non-detect for MTBE in all samples (sensitivity at ...
Application: Removal of a volatile solvent To remove MTBE (Methyl tert-butyl ether) from an aqueous preparation to isolate and concentrate organic residues. ...

Many famous processes are based on ZSM-5, such as Mobil Distillate Dewaxing （MDDW）process , Mobil Lube Dewaxing (MLDW) process, M-reforming process, Mobil-Badger ethylbenzene synthesis process, Cyclar process: from LPG to BTX, xylene isomerization process(MVPI), toluene disproportionation process and methanol to gasoline process(MTG). 2, Applications in fine chemical industry: Applied in from DEG ...
Chemical Oxidation of a Gasoline Release Kenton, Delaware Project Dissolved BTEX, MtBE, and TBA impact extended across more than 10 properties (approx. 800 feet) from a UST release. Eight residential supply wells were impacted with MtBE. Insurance limitations required environmental activities cost through closure not to exceed $600,000. ...

Results After a total 20 months of operation injecting less than 0.5 pounds of ozone a day, MTBE concentrations were reduced to 19 ppb. In the center of the plume, MTBE concentrations were reduced from 5,400 to 10 ppb after 9 months of operation, a 99 percent reduction. MTBE concentrations in the cross gradient well initially increased from 120 ...
The concern was that the MTBE would be pulled toward the supply well’s screened interval in the deeper zone, threatening the water and making site restoration more complex. Monitoring indicated that MTBE had been migrating off-site, requiring action to protect the water supply. ...
MS2 (CECT 8557) and Rhodococcus ruber strains A5 (CECT 8556), EE6 (CECT 8612) and EE1 (CECT 8555), previously isolated from fuel-contaminated sites, were tested for adherence on tubular semipermeable membranes in laboratory-scale systems designed for methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) bioremediation. Biofilm formation on the membrane surface was evaluated through observation by ...
The study also found evidence that still-unidentified chemicals may be contributing to odors associated with PEX pipes, along with compounds called ETBE and MTBE that have been identified in previous work. And those smells can make water unpalatable. ...

Representative Engagements: BCCM currently manages two groups with chemicals on List 2 -- the NMP Producers Group and the MTBE Consortium. BCCM engages with the groups' member companies to identify potential other producer or importer companies that should contribute to EDSP testing, outlining how cost shares will be allocated among participating companies and compiling relevant ...
Bedminster Township Assist municipal client with MTBE contamination problem. ...
A study was undertaken to determine the success for aerobic bioremediation of aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) and MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) in high temperature, saline groundwater conditions. ...
This paper reports on short‐term fish reproduction assays in zebrafish and fathead minnow conducted to examine the potential for methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) to cause effects on the endocrine system. Both studies were performed under Good Laboratory Practice and in accordance with OECD and USEPA test guidelines. Results of the first study demonstrated that exposure to a ...
The powerful results that our sulfate technology is capable of are demonstrated in the following project summary. To address elevated BTEX and MTBE groundwater concentrations at an active petroleum retail facility in the District of Columbia, Antea Group implemented a sulfate enhanced corrective action plan in June of 2008. The corrective action plan was designed to apply, via ...
Approximately 1 × 108cell/mL of E. coli were spiked into water samples contaminated with 500 ppb of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) and benzene. Water samples were then treated in a bench-scale photoreactor using 15 W low pressure (LP) and 150 W medium pressure (MP) UV lamps. Hydrogen peroxide at 20, 50 and 100 ppm and ozone at 1, 2 and 5 ppm were used along with the UV ...
BTEX impacts were concentrated in three separate areas of the 2.5 acre site where petroleum dispensing infrastructure had been previously located, but MTBE impacts were more widespread and encompassed most areas of the property. ...
