Gas oil
CPC v2.1 Code: 3336
About gas oil
cpc code 3336 covers the industry of gas oil production, a critical component in the global energy landscape. Gas oil, also known as diesel fuel, is a refined petroleum product that plays a vital role in powering a wide range of industries, from transportation and manufacturing to agriculture and construction. As a key input for many sectors, the gas oil industry is a fundamental pillar of the broader economy.
Production process
The production of gas oil involves a series of complex refining processes. Crude oil, the primary raw material, is first distilled to separate its various components, including gas oil. The gas oil fraction is then further refined through processes such as catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, and hydrotreating to remove impurities and improve its quality and performance characteristics.
Production inputs
The gas oil industry relies on a range of inputs, including crude oil, catalysts, hydrogen, and specialized refining equipment. Crude oil, the primary feedstock, is sourced from various regions around the world and undergoes extensive processing to extract the gas oil component. Catalysts and hydrogen are essential for the refining processes that enhance the quality and properties of the final gas oil product.
Production outputs
The primary output of the gas oil industry is, of course, gas oil itself, which is then consumed by a variety of other industries. Gas oil is widely used as a fuel for diesel engines in the 4923 Road transport and 5020 Water transport sectors. It is also a key input for the 2011 Manufacture of industrial gases and 2059 Manufacture of other chemical products n.e.c. industries, among others.
