Aviation gasoline

CPC v2.1 Code: 33312

About aviation gasoline

cpc code 33312 covers the industry of aviation gasoline production. Aviation gasoline is a specialized fuel used in piston-engine aircraft, playing a crucial role in the aviation industry and broader transportation sector. This high-octane fuel is essential for the safe and efficient operation of small private and commercial aircraft, enabling them to take flight and reach their destinations reliably.

Production process

The production of aviation gasoline involves a multi-step refining process. Crude oil is first distilled to separate its various components, including the lighter fractions that make up aviation gasoline. These fractions then undergo further processing, such as catalytic reforming and blending, to enhance their octane rating and other performance characteristics required for aircraft engines.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the aviation gasoline industry include crude oil, which serves as the primary feedstock, as well as various additives and processing chemicals. Specialized refining equipment, such as distillation columns, catalytic reactors, and blending tanks, are also essential for the production of this specialized fuel.

Production outputs

The primary output of the aviation gasoline industry is, of course, the aviation gasoline itself, which is then distributed and sold to aircraft operators, including private pilots, commercial airlines, and military aviation. The aviation gasoline produced under cpc code 33312 may also be consumed by other industries that utilize piston-engine aircraft, such as 33311 Jet fuel for turbine-powered aircraft.
