LPG is Liquefied Petroleum Gas. Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) are obtained by refining of crude oil and from natural gas by oil absorption or refrigerated absorption process.

LP Gases are mixtures of hydrocarbons, which are gaseous at normal ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, but can be liquefied at normal ambient temperature by application of moderate pressure.

It is a clean burning, non-poisonous, dependable, high calorific value fuel.
LPG is stored and transported in containers as a liquid, but is generally drawn out and used as a gas.
LPG in gaseous state is nearly twice as heavy as air. Any leakage of LPG, therefore, tends to settle down at floor level.

Liquid LPG is almost half as heavy as water. Thus, when liquid LPG gets converted to a gaseous state, it expands by about 250 times. The leakage of liquid LPG is therefore very dangerous.
LPG contains no toxic components such as carbon monoxide and is, therefore, non-poisonous.

Fuel gases will burn only when mixed with air in certain proportions. The minimum and maximum concentrations of a fuel gas in a gas / air mixture between which the mixture can be ignited are termed as the over and upper limit of inflammability

– The lower flammability limit for LPG is 2% and the higher limit is 8.5%.
Pure LPG is colourless and odourless. LPG is distinctively odourised to give warning in case of leakage. Its smell is detectable in air at concentrations down to 1/5th of the lower explosive limit.

Portability : Cylinders can be transported easily to the location or can be fixed to mobile equipment.
Own Storage : Alternate gas suppliers make use of piped delivery system where the customer is affected the moment supply fails. LPG stored in cylinders or bulk installations provide a greater degree of product security.

Wide Turn Down : By this is meant the range of gas flow from maximum to minimum for a particular burner. Burners can be designed to operate over wide range.

Ease Of Control : Gaseous fuels are the easiest to control and are very quick in response i.e. you can light a fire within seconds of turning the burner knob on. Solid fuels are the slowest.

Small Flames : Many processes require a small flame, or a number of small flames rather than a big one. LPG is a good fuel for such applications.

Self-Pressurizing: LPG is stored under moderate pressure and therefore no pumps or gravity system is needed to get the fuel to the burner. Simple LPG burners are quite independent of electrical supply.

Consistent Quality : LPG as all petroleum fuels is subject to stringent quality controls and hence it is possible to maintain consistent quality of the product.

Clean Combustion : LPG is a high-grade fuel with negligible impurities producing ean sulphur -free combustion gases. This can be important for many processes especially where the gases come into contact with the products.

Little Maintenance : Many LPG burners are very simple and require little aintenance. The clean combustion gases ensure long life even for the more complex burners.
