HS v2022 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 gas generators used in various industrial and commercial applications. These generators produce gases such as producer gas, water gas, acetylene gas, and other similar water process gases. They play a crucial role in industries like chemical processing, metallurgy, and energy production, contributing to the broader economy through their versatile applications.

Production process

The main production techniques for the equipment covered under HS code 840510 involve the conversion of various feedstocks, such as coal, coke, or natural gas, into the desired gaseous outputs. This is typically achieved through processes like partial oxidation, steam reforming, or thermal decomposition. The generators may also incorporate purification systems to remove impurities and ensure the quality of the produced gases.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of the equipment under HS code 840510 include raw materials like coal, coke, or natural gas, as well as various metal components and specialized manufacturing equipment. Depending on the specific type of gas generator, additional inputs such as water, catalysts, or control systems may also be necessary.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industry covered by HS code 840510 are the various types of gases produced, including producer gas, water gas, acetylene gas, and similar water process gases. These gases find applications in a wide range of industries, such as 840410 Boilers, 840310 Furnaces and ovens, and 840420 Machinery, plant or laboratory equipment, among others.
