MUMBAI, India, Nov. 21 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421038532 A) filed by Reliance Industries Limited, Maharashtra, on May 16, 2024, for 'a process and a system for the removal of moisture from methyl tertiary butyl ether.'
Inventor(s) include Sidhpuria Kalpesh Bhikhubhai; Priya, Surbhi; Lande, Sharad Vasudeorao; and Jasra, Raksh Vir.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 21, under issue no. 47/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a process and a system (100) for the removal of moisture from MTBE. The process comprises the preparation and activation of a pore-engineered nano-porous binderless adsorbent, followed by loading in at least one column (106) to obtain an adsorbent-loaded column (106). The adsorbent-loaded column (106) is maintained at a first predetermined temperature and a first predetermined pressure. Further, a feed comprising MTBE containing moisture is passed through the adsorbent-loaded column (106) to obtain a treated stream of MTBE having a reduced amount of moisture and a moisture-saturated column. The moisture-saturated column is then regenerated. The system comprises a primary storage unit (102), at least one column (106), and a flushing unit (114). The process is simple yet effective for the removal of moisture from MTBE feed and is feasible, and cost-effective. The system is compact and effectively removes moisture from the highly polar solvent."
