Liquefied Petroleum Gas - LPG

Sponsored Links

LPG is a hydrocarbon mixture in either liquid or gaseous state where the main components consists of

• propane - C₃H₈
• propylene (propene) - C₃H₆
• isobutane - C₄H₁₀
• n-butane - C₄H₁₀
• butylene (butene) - C₄H₈

Liquefied Petroleum gas - LPG - is gaseous under normal atmospheric conditions, but liquefied by cooling and/or compression.

LPG is commonly used as an industrial fuel for domestic and commercial purposes like town gas and autogas. LPG is also used as feedstock in chemicals plant processes.
