Conceptual Design of a Novel Process for the Production of OME Fuels

Poly(oxymethylene) dimethyl ethers (OME) are oxygenates of the general structure H3C-O-(CH2O)n-CH3 with n = 2. OME are synthetic diesel fuels, which strongly reduce the soot formation and indirectly also the NOx formation in diesel engines. This work presents the conceptual design of a novel OME pro...
