Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
WHAT IS LPG GAS?
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a mixture of hydrocarbons consisting mainly of butane (C4H10) and propane (C3H8). This mixture accounts for at least 95% of the total mass. At normal temperature and pressure, LPG is a gas; it is compressed to a certain pressure or cooled to a certain temperature, at which point it transforms into a liquid.
APPLICATIONS OF LPG
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is used in industrial production activities such as drying, heating, welding, and combustion. In addition, LPG is also used as a fuel in agricultural production for drying agricultural products, as a fertilizer, etc.
OTHER APPLICATIONS
Ngoài việc được sử dụng làm khí đốt trong sản xuất công nghiệp ra, khí LPG còn được ứng dụng rộng rãi trong các lĩnh vực khác như dân dụng, thương mại, vận tải. LPG còn được ứng dụng trong việc phát điện, hóa dầu..
WHY USE LPG?
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
From an environmental perspective, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a clean-burning fuel, producing less CO2 emissions (approximately 20%–50% less than heavy fuels like coal and oil). The combustion of LPG produces fewer particulate matter and fine dust, contributing to a reduction in the greenhouse effect. Furthermore, the widespread use of LPG reduces illegal mining and deforestation, contributing to the protection of the Earth's "green lungs."
EASY TO TRANSPORT
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a gas that easily liquefies and is stored in high-pressure tanks. This characteristic makes LPG highly mobile, allowing it to be easily stored and transported to consumers in many locations.
HIGH APPLICATIONS
LPG is widely used in many different industries in civil, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors.
In the industrial sector, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is the fuel for most production fields (food, pharmaceuticals, metals, building materials, etc.)
SAFE FUEL
The chemical composition of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is mainly propane and butane (these two components account for at least 95% of the mass), which is why we can easily adjust the correct ratio of fuel and air mixture for complete combustion, thus giving LPG its clean combustion properties.
