Where 20.140 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
5. 20.140 Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals

What 20.140 includes

• Manufacture of chemicals using basic processes, e.g. thermal cracking, distillation. The result of these processes is usually separate chemically defined organic compounds.
• Manufacture of basic organic chemicals: • acyclic hydrocarbons, saturated or unsaturated • cyclic hydrocarbons, saturated or unsaturated • acyclic and cyclic alcohols • mono- and polycarboxylic acids, including acetic acid
• Other compounds with oxygen functionality including aldehydes, ketones, quinones and compounds with double or multiple oxygen functionality
• Synthetic glycerol
• Organic compounds with nitrogen functionality including amines
• Fermentation of sugar cane, corn, etc. to produce alcohol and esters
• Other organic compounds including wood distillation products (e.g. charcoal) etc.
• Manufacture of synthetic aromatic products
• Production of methane, not for supply as a gaseous fuel through a permanent supply network
• Distillation of coal tar
• Production of ethyl alcohol, not as bioethanol fuel
• Production of refrigerants
