Most recipes that either require or provide a fluid other than crude oil is produced here. The chemical plant has 2 inputs and 2 outputs in fixed positions. Solid items can be both inserted and removed by inserters from any point (no need to target fluid input/output connections).

When chemical plants are in the process of crafting an item, they will billow out smoke that matches the color of their input ingredients.

Recipes

The Chemical plant has twelve available recipes, one of which must be set before it can begin processing.

Fluid inputs

Unlike solid ingredients, which can be inserted anywhere, the fluid ingredients can only be added at the two fixed inputs. Furthermore, recipes which requires two fluid ingredients, will only accept each ingredient on a specific input. When the recipe that requires fluid ingredients is selected, the chemical plant will display icons on the inputs to show which ingredient goes to which input.

For all recipes that take water and another fluid ingredient, the water input is the left input when the two inputs are on the north side of the chemical plant, see the image below.
