Where 20.14.Z sits

1. C Industrial Processing
2. 20 Production of chemicals and chemical products
3. 20.1 Production of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms
4. 20.14 Production of other basic organic chemicals
5. 20.14.Z Production of other basic organic chemicals

What 20.14.Z includes

• This subclass covers the production of basic chemicals using processes such as thermal cracking and distillation. These processes typically result in the isolation of chemical elements and chemically defined organic compounds.
• Production of basic organic chemicals: • saturated and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, • saturated and unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbons, • cyclic and aliphatic alcohols, • mono
• And polycarboxylic acids, including synthetic acetic acid, • other compounds with oxygen-containing radicals, including aldehydes, ketones, benzoquinones, and compounds with di
• And poly-oxygen-containing radicals, • synthetic glycerin, • organic nitrogen compounds, including amines, • ethyl alcohol and esters from the fermentation of plant products (sugarcane, corn, and the like) not intended for human consumption, • synthetic ethyl alcohol, • other organic compounds, including products of wood distillation (e.g., charcoal) and the like,
• Production of synthetic aromatics,
• Production of methane for non-energy purposes in the grid system,
• Production of coal tar,
• Production of ethyl alcohol for purposes other than biofuel (bioethanol),
• Production of refrigerant gases.
