===Non-Oil Alternative===

===Non-Oil Alternative #1===

If you don't want to process oil, there are a few alternative recipes, which may be especially attractive if you are using benzene.

Line 87:

* Mulch (you will probably want to send overflow to a [[Trash Can]])

===Non-Oil Alternative #2===

By utilizing a pyrolyse oven, you are able to easily produce polyethlyene through the extraction of wood gas.

Wood input into the pyrolyse oven with to produce charcoal and wood gas.

The ethlyene can then be processed into polyethylene using either air or oxygen.

Machines needed:

* Chemical Reactor (LV)

* Pyrolyse Oven

* Distillery (LV)

* Compressor (LV) (For compressing air, unneeded if using oxygen)

Inputs:

* Wood

Extra Outputs:

* Charcoal (Which you'll probably want to use to create benzene)

Example Setup:
