Abstract: The latest research progresses in isobutylene selective oligomerization and the successful experience in revamping MTBE unit abroad to produce isooctane or isooctene are introduced, focusing on the technology developed by SINOPEC Research Institute of Petroleum Processing (RIPP) for isobutene selective oligomerization by revamping existing MTBE device. The industrial test results show that by RIPP` technology, the conversion rate of isobutylene is 90%-92%, the selectivity of C8 is more than 90%, and the RON of product is 102-110, indicating that it can be commercialized.

Key words: selective oligomerization, isobutene, isooctane, MTBE
