{{About/Space age}}
'''Calcite processing''' is discovered after the player mines [[Calcite]] on the planet [[Vulcanus]]. The technology enables two new recipes for [[Chemical plant]]s and one for [[Oil refinery|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.

Optimonada: /* Recipes */ - SA research typo

{{languages}}
{{:Infobox:Chemical plant}}
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. These fluid inputs can be flipped with {{key|H}} or {{key|V}}.
