SBI 20.14—Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals

Where 20.14 sits

1. C Manufacturing
2. 20 Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products
3. 20.1 Manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilisers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms
4. 20.14 Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals

Contains 2 narrower codes

• 20.14.1 Manufacturing of petrochemical products
• 20.14.9 Manufacturing of other organic basic chemicals (non-petrochemicals)

What 20.14 includes

• This class encompasses the manufacture of chemical substances using basic processes, such as thermal cracking and distillation. The output of these processes is usually separate chemically defined organic compounds.
• Manufacture of basic organic chemicals:
• Acyclic hydrocarbons, saturated and unsaturated
• Cyclic hydrocarbons, saturated and unsaturated
• Acyclic and cyclic alcohols;
• Monoand polycarboxylic acids, including acetic acid;
• Other oxygen-containing compounds, including aldehydes, ketones, quinones, and compounds with two or more oxygen-containing groups;
• Synthetic glycerol;
• Organic compounds with a nitrogen function, including amines;
• Fermentation of sugarcane, maize, or similar crops to produce alcohol and esters;
• Other organic compounds, including wood distillation products (e.g. charcoal), etc.
• Manufacture of synthetic aromatic products
• Manufacture of methane, not for supply as a gaseous fuel, via a permanent distribution network
• Distillation of coal tar
• Manufacture of ethyl alcohol, with the exception of bioethanol as motor fuel
• Manufacture of refrigerants
