From methanol to the oxygenated diesel fuel poly(oxymethylene) dimethyl ether: An assessment of the production costs

Poly(oxymethylene) dimethyl ethers (OME) are diesel fuel components, which can be produced from methanol, a global future platform chemical. OME reduce the soot formation in diesel engines and their addition to low quality refinery fractions increases the total refinery output. In this work, a bench...
