Acyclic hydrocarbons; saturated

HS v2022 Code: 290110

About acyclic hydrocarbons; saturated

HS code 290110 covers the classification of acyclic, or open-chain, saturated hydrocarbons. These basic organic compounds are fundamental building blocks in the petrochemical industry, serving as precursors for a wide range of downstream products. They play a crucial role in the manufacturing of fuels, solvents, plastics, and other essential materials that underpin modern industrial and consumer economies.

Production process

Acyclic saturated hydrocarbons are primarily produced through the refining and processing of crude oil and natural gas. The main production techniques involve fractional distillation, catalytic cracking, and hydrogenation processes to isolate and purify the desired hydrocarbon compounds from the complex mixture of hydrocarbons found in fossil fuel feedstocks.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of acyclic saturated hydrocarbons are crude oil, natural gas, and various catalysts and processing chemicals. Specialized refining and petrochemical processing equipment, such as distillation columns, reactors, and separation units, are also essential for the efficient extraction and purification of these basic organic compounds.

Production outputs

The acyclic saturated hydrocarbons classified under HS code 290110 are used as feedstocks and intermediates in the manufacture of a diverse range of downstream products. These include 290220 Benzene, 290230 Toluene, 290241 o-Xylene, 290242 m-Xylene, 290243 p-Xylene, and other aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as fuels, solvents, and petrochemical derivatives.
