ExxonMobil Scrapes Bottom … Bottom of the Barrel, That Is


ExxonMobil’s Energy Factor, May 15, 2018, has a fascinating description of the use of Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry to identify “bottom-of-the barrel” molecules in order to produce premium products like gasoline or jet fuel.
This is a heavy lift. Ultimately, ExxonMobil’s research team, led by Amrit Jalan, is after the chemical structure, which can identify these molecules and help identify their best use. The tough part, though, is what they examine can contain up to hundreds of thousands of unique chemical formulas and hundreds of structural variations, leading to billions of possibilities.
