| (a) The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) has replaced | |||||||
| the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. | |||||||
| (b) This count includes only those establishments that reported this | |||||||
| industry-specific technology in use anytime in 1998. | |||||||
| (c) One possible replacement in the thermoset molding process is done with | |||||||
| a gas-fired central thermal fluid system. | |||||||
| (d) 'Recycling Materials' includes processing residuals as alternative feedstocks. | |||||||
| (e) Examples of 'Biomass Materials' are lignocellulosics, food crops, and food wastes. | |||||||
| Uses of 'Biomass Materials' include gasification, fast pyrolysis, hydrolysis, and | |||||||
| fractionation. | |||||||
| (f) 'Bioprocessing' includes the use of petroleum, natural gas, coal, other fossil-based | |||||||
| feedstocks, and genetically engineered organisms in processes, such as direct microbial, | |||||||
| immobilized enzyme, and fermentation. | |||||||
| (g) 'Innovative Catalysts' are those with structural or electronic features that allow | |||||||
| selective chemical reactions. | |||||||
| (h) 'Separations Processing' includes improvements from distillation processing and | |||||||
| enhancements from hydrocarbon cracking. | |||||||
| (i) This type of forehearth is designed for independently applied heating and cooling | |||||||
| operations and minimal energy use. | |||||||
| (j) This type of forehearth is designed to eliminate side-to-middle temperature gradients | |||||||
| with improved temperature stability. | |||||||
| (k) Examples are high-chrome alloys. | |||||||
| (l) Examples are semi-direct/indirect coal firing, optimal oxygen levels, and | |||||||
| advanced burners matched to the kiln/cooler design flame control. | |||||||
