What 2011 includes

• This class includes the manufacture of chemicals using basic processes, such as thermal cracking and distillation.
• The output of these processes are usually separate chemical elements or separate chemically defined compounds.
• Intermediate and end products are produced by further processing of these basic chemicals.
• Production of Charcoal through distillation of wood.
