Kerosenes

CPC v2.1 Code: 3334

About kerosenes

cpc code 3334 covers the industry of kerosenes, a critical fuel source with a wide range of applications. Kerosenes are distillate fuels derived from crude oil, playing a vital role in the global energy landscape. This industry supports various sectors, including aviation, transportation, and residential heating, making it an integral component of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of kerosenes involves a multi-step refining process. Crude oil is first distilled to separate its various fractions, with the kerosene fraction being further refined to remove impurities and improve its properties. This process may involve techniques such as catalytic cracking, hydrotreatment, and blending to achieve the desired specifications for different kerosene products.

Production inputs

The production of kerosenes requires several key inputs, including crude oil as the primary raw material, as well as specialized refining equipment and catalysts. Additionally, the industry relies on a robust transportation infrastructure to move the raw materials and finished products to various markets.

Production outputs

The primary output of the kerosenes industry is the kerosene fuel itself, which is used in a variety of applications, including 3336 Aviation Fuels, 3339 Other Distillate Fuels, and residential heating. Kerosenes may also be further processed or blended to create other refined petroleum products, such as 3333 Jet Fuels and 3335 Diesel Fuels.
