Generators; producer gas, water gas, acetylene gas and similar water process gas generators, with or without their purifiers
HS v2017 Code: 840510
About generators; producer gas, water gas, acetylene gas and similar water process gas generators, with or without their purifiers
hs code 840510 covers a range of industrial gas generators, including those used for producing producer gas, water gas, acetylene gas, and other similar water-based process gases. These generators play a crucial role in various industrial processes, providing essential inputs for a wide range of manufacturing and energy-related activities. The production and utilization of these gases are integral to the broader economy, supporting industries such as 271000 Manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms.
Production process
The main production techniques for the generators covered under hs code 840510 involve the controlled combustion or reaction of various feedstocks, such as coal, coke, or natural gas, in the presence of water or steam. This process generates the desired gas, which is then purified and conditioned for use in downstream applications. The specific design and configuration of the generators can vary depending on the intended output gas, the scale of production, and the specific requirements of the end-users.
Production inputs
The key inputs required for the production of the generators under hs code 840510 include raw materials such as metals, ceramics, and other specialized components for the generator housing and internal mechanisms. Additionally, the production process requires access to reliable sources of energy, such as electricity or natural gas, as well as water for the steam or water-based reactions. Skilled labor and specialized manufacturing equipment are also essential inputs for the efficient and high-quality production of these generators.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the industry covered by hs code 840510 are the various types of industrial gas generators, which are then consumed by a wide range of other industries. These generators may be used in the production of 271000 Manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms, the generation of power and heat, or in other industrial processes that require specific gas inputs. The outputs of this industry can also be further processed or combined with other components to create more complex industrial equipment or systems.
