Isopropyl Alcohol
Feedstock: Natural Gas
Refinery Fraction: Propylene Gas
The Engineering Blueprint
- Refinery Parent: Propane / Propylene
- Process: Indirect Hydration
- Tray Position: Gas Fraction (Top)
The Realist Argument
Sterility is a petrochemical standard. The ability to disinfect environments on a global scale is directly tied to the propylene stream of the gas-chain.
Human Impact & Utility
The universal antiseptic and industrial solvent used for sterilization and component cleaning.
