Propane and butanes, liquefied
CPC v2.1 Code: 33410
About propane and butanes, liquefied
cpc code 33410 covers the liquefied propane and butanes industry, which plays a crucial role in the global energy and petrochemical sectors. These liquefied gases are essential feedstocks for a wide range of downstream industries, making them a vital component of the broader economy. The production and distribution of propane and butanes support various applications, from residential heating and cooking to industrial processes and transportation fuels.
Production process
The production of liquefied propane and butanes typically involves the extraction and separation of these gases from natural gas or crude oil refining processes. The key steps include fractionation, compression, and liquefaction, which transform the gaseous hydrocarbons into a liquid state for storage and transportation.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the propane and butanes, liquefied industry include natural gas or crude oil as the primary raw materials, as well as specialized equipment such as fractionation towers, compressors, and liquefaction units. Additionally, the industry relies on transportation infrastructure, such as pipelines, storage facilities, and distribution networks, to move the liquefied gases to end-users.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the propane and butanes, liquefied industry are the liquefied forms of these gases, which are then consumed by a variety of other industries. Propane and butanes are widely used as 23200 Fuel gases, liquefied, 20110 Petrochemicals, and 29320 Fuel for vehicles, among other applications. The liquefied gases produced under cpc code 33410 are essential inputs for these downstream industries, supporting their operations and contributing to the overall economic ecosystem.
