A second portion of the second side-stream is recovering as a high purity MTBE product. The raw IB stream and an extractant are fed to a methanol extraction column where an overhead washed reactor effluent and a bottoms product are recovered. The washed reactor effluent is fed to an IB dividing wall column and one or more of a light ends overhead, an high purity IB stream, and an IB bottom product.
