Description

This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in converting feedstocks derived from petroleum, or from petroleum and natural gas liquids, into petrochemicals. Some important processes used in petrochemical manufacturing include steam cracking and steam reforming. For the purpose of defining this industry, petrochemicals consist of acyclic (aliphatic) hydrocarbons and cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

What 325110 includes

• Acyclic hydrocarbons (except acetylene), made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
• Acyclic hydrocarbons (except acetylene), made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids
• Aliphatic hydrocarbons (except acetylene), made from refined petroleum or natural gas liquids

What 325110 excludes

• Converting petrochemicals into other basic chemicals (see 325190 other basic organic chemical manufacturing (mex))
• Manufacturing acetylene (see 325120 industrial gas manufacturing)
• Manufacturing plastics resins and synthetic rubber (see 325210 resin and synthetic rubber manufacturing (can))
• Refining crude petroleum into petrochemicals (see 324110 petroleum refineries)
