US Patent:

Abstract:
In methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) plant n-butane is used to regenerate a molecular sieve adsorption bed of an oxygen removal unit, and contaminated n-butane is purified by distillation and recycled for further regeneration. The requirement for n-butane is thus reduced and little or no contaminated n-butane need be diverted for use as fuel gas.
