About LPG

LPG is liquefied and mixed gaseous hydrocarbon created in the course of exploring and refining crude oil.
LPG is mixture of propane and butane.

Propane products are made of larger quantity of propane (C3H8) and smaller quantity of methane, ethane and butane. They are mainly used for households and commercial cooking, heating and for raw materials for manufacturing city gas.

Butane products are composed of larger quantity of butanes such as normal butane (n-C4H10), Iso-butane (i-C4H10) and of smaller quantity of propane and other substances. They are chiefly used for car fuel, partly for households heating fuel and for petrochemical raw materials.

LPG Applications

Many domestic and commercial applications of LPG are similar to those of natural gas but as LPG is available in portable cylinders and disposable cartridges its range of applications, especially for recreational and leisure use, is much wider. LPG is used for:

1. Space Heating
2. Central Heating
3. Air Conditioners
4. Hot Water Supply
5. Refrigeration
6. Cooking
7. Lighting

LPG Emissions*

11 % to 13% less carbon dioxide
15% to 80% less oxides of nitrogen
20% to 40% less hydrocarbons
30% to 35% less carbon monoxide
2 LPG Emissions as compared to High Speed Diesel
* 80% to 95% less particulates * 99% to 99.8% less ultra fine particles 1 90% to 99% less oxides of nitrogen

Statistics suggest that particulates are responsible for several thousand advanced deaths each year and many thousands of instances of illness and reduced activity. Road transport is the largest single source for particulates and LPG can reduce these emissions by around 90%, compared to diesel.
In recent years the respective Governments in western countries have become more aware of the harmful effect of ultra fine particles, and this has been identified as causing a significant problem in major cities such as London. Recent tests have shown that LPG emits 99% to 99.8% less ultra fine particles than ULS diesel.

The other pollutant highlighted by the Governments as causing significant problems and requiring further measures to meet the set targets is Oxides of Nitrogen. As shown above, using LPG can make substantial reductions in Oxides of Nitrogen emissions

Noise is another pollution causing increasing concern. LPG engines are 50% quieter than diesel engines.

Industrial applications are also similar to those of natural gas, and include production and manufacture of

1. Gas and chemicals
2. Ferrous and non ferrous metals
3. Engineering equipment and ships
4. Heavy clay and ceramics Glass
5. Food and drink Electrical goods
6. Vehicles
7. Textiles, leather and clothing
8. Paper and print.

In addition, because of its mobility, LPG can be put to a number of other uses that are normally outside the scope of natural gas:

1. On building and civil engineering sites
2. In agriculture
3. For heating and cooking in caravans and boats
4. As a fuel for internal combustion engines including cars, vans, buses,
5. Generators/pumps

LPG is gaining increased support as an environmentally friendly automotive fuel, particularly in towns and cities where vehicles cause specific pollution problems.
