Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
EQUITY-METHOD INVESTMENT	EQUITY-METHOD INVESTMENTIn 2013, the Company and Eastman Chemical Company (formerly Taminco Corporation) formed a joint venture (66.66% / 33.34% ownership), St. Gabriel CC Company, LLC, to design, develop, and construct an expansion of the Company’s St. Gabriel aqueous choline chloride plant. The Company contributed the St. Gabriel plant, at cost, and all continued expansion and improvements are funded by the owners. The joint venture became operational as of July 1, 2016. St. Gabriel CC Company, LLC is a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) because the total equity at risk is not sufficient to permit the joint venture to finance its own activities without additional subordinated financial support. Additionally, voting rights (2 votes each) are not proportionate to the owners’ obligation to absorb expected losses or receive the expected residual returns of the joint venture. The Company receives up to 2/3 of the production offtake capacity and absorbs operating expenses approximately proportional to the actual percentage of offtake. The joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting since the Company is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the joint venture that most significantly impact its economic performance. The Company recognized a loss of $140 and $420 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $142 and $416 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, relating to its portion of the joint venture's expenses in other expense. The Company made capital contributions to the investment totaling $89 and $222 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $46 and $31 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The carrying value of the joint venture at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $4,301 and $4,499, respectively, and is recorded in "Other assets."
