French term or phrase: traitement de benzol en caprolactam
The subject of a pro-forma invoice. No further information is available, other than that it's measured in metric tons. I am trying to determine whether "traitement" here is processing, treatment or...??, plus how to phrase the thing. This is not my area of expertise, so any pointers are more than welcome!
