Calcite processing is discovered after the player acquires Calcite after researching Planet discovery Vulcanus (research). Note that the means of acquisition is not stated; calcite obtained through Advanced oxide asteroid crushing (researched on Gleba) works just as well as mining calcite on Vulcanus itself.
The technology enables two new recipes for Chemical plants and one for oil refineries. Because Vulcanus lacks a natural source of heavy oil or water, these technologies allow the player to convert Vulcanus' other plentiful resources into both unavailable resources.
- Acid neutralisation allows the player to convert Vulcanus' sulfuric acid geysers into steam, while steam condensation turns the steam into water.
- Simple coal liquefaction allows the player to convert coal, calcite, and sulfuric acid into heavy oil.
