WHAT
IS LPG ?
The
abbreviation “LPG" stands for “ Liquefied Petroleum Gas (es)”. It is a
term loosely applied in petroleum refineries to a number of light end
hydrocarbon streams derived from crude oil distillation or other petroleum
refining processes which all have RVP (Reid Vapour Pressure) of 18 PSI or more. These light end streams exist as gas under
normal atmospheric conditions. They can
be liquefied by a moderate increase in pressure or by cooling to temperatures
below their boiling point. The liquid
evaporates rapidly under atmospheric conditions. Examples of such light end streams are
Propane, Propylene, Butane, Butadiene, Butene and Pentane.
a. LPG mainly consists of the
following :
(a) Commercial
Butane.
(b) Commercial
Propane.
(c) A
mixture of commercial Butane and Propane.
DEFINITION
The
term “Liquefied Petroleum Gas (es)” “LP Gas” and “LPG” are synonymous and
include any material having a pressure not exceeding that allowed for
commercial Propane composed pre-dominantly of the following hydrocarbons either
by themselves or as mixtures:
