Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG):

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a flammable hydrocarbon gas mixture, primarily composed of propane and butane, that has been liquefied under pressure for easier storage and transportation. LPG is derived from natural gas processing and crude oil refining and is widely used as a fuel for heating, cooking, and powering vehicles. In liquid form, it takes up significantly less space than its gaseous state, making it efficient for storage in pressurized tanks.

Applications:

• widely used in kitchens for cooking due to its clean flame, controllable heat, and affordability. It’s commonly used in rural and urban areas, especially where natural gas infrastructure is unavailable.
• Used in water heaters, space heaters, and central heating systems, especially in areas without central heating gas supplies.
• LPG is often used for backup cooking and heating during power outages.
• used to dry crops, heat greenhouses, and power irrigation pumps in agriculture.
• LPG, referred to as autogas when used as a fuel for vehicles, powers a variety of automobiles, buses, and forklifts. LPG-powered engines produce fewer emissions compared to gasoline or diesel engines, making it an eco-friendlier option.
