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.
