TECHNO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BUTYL CELLOSOLVE ACETATE AND EO-3 PHOSPHATE ESTER

The author’s SIP research concludes that among the grades of BGE Esters and Phosphate Esters, Butyl Cellosolve Acetate (BCA) and EO-3 Phosphate Ester are the most feasible to manufacture. This is because only mild operating conditions is required. These esters also offer large variety of application...
