On the refinery’s website, PBF Energy argues that Californians live in a state with strict environmental regulations, yet still can drive wherever they want in the vehicles of their choice “with the reassurance their local refineries produce the world’s cleanest-burning gasoline using process called alkylation.”

Furthermore, the new platinum complex could catalyze the hydroxy/alkoxy alkylation of olefins -- a reaction that could not be catalyzed with existing well-known ligands.

It is known4 that pks+ E. coli damages the DNA of cells it infects by causing adenine nucleotides to undergo a type of modification called alkylation.

According to energy intelligence service Genscape, the fire is believed to have occurred at the 182,200 barrel-per-day refinery’s alkylation unit.

The refinery was expected to shut its alkylation unit in February-March 2020 for maintenance, according to a source familiar with the plant’s operations.
