325110 Petrochemical manufacturing
Fabrication de produits pétrochimiques • Canadian industry
What code 325110 includes
This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in converting feedstocks derived from petroleum, or from petroleum and natural gas liquids, into petrochemicals. Some important processes used in petrochemical manufacturing include steam cracking and steam reforming. For the purpose of defining this industry, petrochemicals consist of acyclic (aliphatic) hydrocarbons and cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Activities & Examples
- acyclic hydrocarbons (except acetylene), made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- aromatic cyclic hydrocarbons, made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- benzene, made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- butane, made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- ethane, made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- ethylene (ethene), made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- hexane, made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- paraffins (alkanes), made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- pentane, made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- styrene, made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- toluene, made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- xylene, made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- acyclic hydrocarbons (except acetylene), made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- aliphatic hydrocarbons (except acetylene), made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- aromatic cyclic hydrocarbons, made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- benzene, made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- butadiene, made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
- butane, made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
