PKD 19.20.Z—Production and processing of refined petroleum products and fossil fuel products

Where 19.20.Z sits

1. C Industrial Processing
2. 19 Production and processing of coke and refined petroleum products
3. 19.2 Production and processing of refined petroleum products and fossil fuel products
4. 19.20 Production and processing of refined petroleum products and fossil fuel products
5. 19.20.Z Production and processing of refined petroleum products and fossil fuel products

What 19.20.Z includes

• This subclass covers the production of liquid and gaseous fuels or other products from petroleum, bituminous minerals, or their fractions. Petroleum refining requires one or more of the following processes: fractionation, direct distillation of crude oil, and cracking.
• Production of motor fuels: gasoline, jet kerosene, and the like,
• Production of fuels: heating oils (light, medium, and heavy), refinery gases (e.g., ethane, propane, butane),
• Production of lubricating oils and greases, including those derived from the processing of used oils,
• Production of products for the petrochemical industry and road coatings,
• Production of various products: white spirits, petroleum jelly, paraffin, and the like,
• Production of briquettes from petroleum products, peat, lignite, and hard coal,
• Mixing of components with crude oil, including the mixing of alcohols with crude oil (e.g., alcohol fuel, gasohol),
• Production of products from petroleum waste (e.g., waste lubricating oils).

What 19.20.Z excludes

• Production of solid fuels from plant biomass, see 16.26.Z,
• Production of liquid biofuels, see 20.51.Z.
