Catalyst & Licensing Technologies

Our high-quality catalysts and process technologies enable the conversion feedstocks into high-value products in innovative and cost-effective ways. These solutions support the production of essential chemicals and polymers used in the manufacture of polyethylene, nylon, styrene, and other high-performance materials.

Our technologies:

• Benzene alkylation
• Xylene production

ExxonMobil offers advanced process technologies and catalysts for production of conventional refinery fuels. To produce distillates, especially in colder climates, our MIDW™ isomerization dewaxing catalyst offers very high yields and longer run lengths. Celestia™ and Nebula® specialty hydrotreating catalysts provide unprecedented performance, operational flexibility, and value beyond hydrotreating battery limits. In addition, FLEXICOKING™ technology is a commercially proven and cost-effective resid conversion process that thermally converts heavy feedstocks to lighter products and a “Flexigas” stream suitable for use as a heat source in a refinery.

Our technologies:

• Distillates
• Gasoline
• Resid conversion

ExxonMobil’s gas treating technologies provide a cost-effective and proven solution for selectively removing H2S from sour gas streams, helping facilities meet stringent emissions standards and achieve sulfur removal targets.

ExxonMobil’s advanced and industry-leading lube basestock technologies enable the production of high-quality finished lubricants for use in automotive and other specialty applications. Our premier MSDW™ and MWI™ catalytic dewaxing and MAXSAT™ hydrofinishing technologies can process a wide range of feedstocks – from hydrotreated VGOs and DAOs to raffinates and slack waxes.

A lower carbon future requires technologies that can address at scale some of the highest emitting sectors, such as transportation and aviation. Furthermore, compliance with proposed, future regulations and the availability of alternate non-fossil feedstock such as vegetable oils, used cooking oils, animal fats as well as alcohols derived from biomass and renewable hydrogen, present unique challenges to effectively produce lower emission fuels. ExxonMobil offers a suite of advanced technologies, including EMRD™ and EMRJ™ renewable diesel and jet processes and our drop-in BIDW™ catalyst portfolio for processing of bio-feedstocks, as well as methanol-based M-t-G and M-t-J processes.

Our technologies:

• HVO/HEFA
• Methanol based e-fuels
