MIT researchers have developed a new way to separate crude oil components using much less energy than traditional methods. This could revolutionize how fuels and chemicals are made. news.mit.edu/2025/new-approa…

A new approach could fractionate crude oil using much less energy

MIT engineers developed a membrane that filters the components of crude oil by their molecular size, an advance that could dramatically reduce the amount of energy needed for crude oil fractionation.
