The Phillips process was polymerization-formation of heavy molecules from light ones with heat, pressure, catalysts (chemical activators). By this method lightweight derivatives formerly wasted or diverted to by-products are made into high-grade fuel. Trade papers pointed out that if all gaseous hydrocarbons produced in cracking were utilized by the Phillips patented process, the extra gasoline output would be about 1,000,000,000 gal. per year...
