Hmmm fractional distillation is the only widely used method that I've encountered. Unless the questions is asking about separation of different length hydrocarbon chains (catalytic and thermal cracking) I'm not really sure I've heard of a widely used method. Sorry

why can't you use fractional distillation?!

i guess if you really want to, you can say size exclusion chromotography, but that's not really used on an industrial scale...
