In HIP-Petrohemija, ethylene with related co-products is derived by steam cracking of virgin low-octane naphtha. The goal of this process is to convert large carbohydrate compounds into low molecular mass compounds with double bond between carbon atoms.
Ethylene produced in HIP-Petrohemija is polymer grade and can be used without purification for polymers manufacturing, given that the ethylene content is at least 99,9% vol.
Manufactured propylene is chemical grade, with typical propylene content of 94,5-95,5 % vol.
Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) is additive for unleaded motor gasoline. By adding MTBE, gasoline octane number is increased, thus improving the engine efficiency, while increased oxygen content enables better fuel combustion. MTBE is produced by reaction of isobutane and methanol. For production of isobutane is used raffinate 1, residue of C4-fraction after extraction of 1,3-butadiene, which utilizes the potential of Styrene-Butadiene-Rubber Plant to a large extent.
