Kerosene-type jet fuel

CPC v2.1 Code: 33342

About kerosene-type jet fuel

cpc code 33342 covers the production of kerosene-type jet fuel, a critical component of the aviation industry. This fuel is used to power jet engines in commercial and military aircraft, playing a vital role in global transportation and national defense. The kerosene-type jet fuel industry is a significant contributor to the broader energy and logistics sectors, enabling the movement of people and goods worldwide.

Production process

Kerosene-type jet fuel is primarily produced through the distillation of crude oil. The crude oil is heated and separated into various fractions, with the kerosene-type jet fuel fraction being carefully refined and processed to meet strict industry standards. This process involves removing impurities, adjusting the fuel's properties, and blending it with additives to enhance performance and safety.

Production inputs

The production of kerosene-type jet fuel requires several key inputs, including crude oil, refining equipment, and specialized additives. Crude oil is the primary raw material, which is sourced from 211000 Oil and Gas Extraction operations. Refining equipment, such as distillation towers and catalytic crackers, are essential for the fuel production process. Additionally, various additives, such as antioxidants and icing inhibitors, are blended into the fuel to improve its performance and safety characteristics.

Production outputs

The primary output of the kerosene-type jet fuel industry is, of course, the jet fuel itself, which is then distributed and sold to 481000 Air Transportation companies for use in their aircraft. The jet fuel produced under cpc code 33342 may also be used in other applications, such as 324110 Petroleum Refineries or 424720 Petroleum and Petroleum Products Merchant Wholesalers.
