PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY

An Overview

PETROCHEMICALS
Petrochemicals are chemicals which are derived from petroleum products and natural gas. The basic feedstock for manufacturing petrochemicals are: Naphtha Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) The petrochemicals industry includes three stages: Manufacturing of base chemicals Conversion to intermediate chemicals Petrochemical end products
