Dakota Gasification Dephenolized Cresylic Acid

Dakota Gasification Company's cresylic acid is a mixture of all three isomers of cresol along with xylenols, ethylphenols, and other ingredients. It is a brownish-colored liquid with a phenol-like medicinal odor. Dakota Gas extracts its cresylic acid from the gas liquor stream produced during the gasification process.Cresylic acid produced through the gasification process creates fewer emissions than when produced from cracked petroleum oils.Cresylic acid from Dakota Gas is used as a distillation feedstock to produce individual creosol isomers.Dephenolized cresylic acid is also used in its raw form to produce wire enamel solvent.Dakota Gas is ISO 9001 certified for cresylic acid as of November 2022.
