Liquefied petroleum gas is a versatile synthetic mixture of propane, butane and minor amounts of unsaturated hydrocarbons obtained in the production of oil and its subsequent processing. In principle, such a mixture is a by-product of oil production, that is to say, a nice bonus. During mining the ‘black gold” is a selection of associated petroleum gas (APG) that is then at the enterprises of the corresponding profile is processed into liquefied natural gas.

LPG

For each ton of crude oil have from fifty to five hundred cubic meters of associated gas, which is sent along with the main product to the refinery, where it is compression (liquefaction). Liquefied gas is obtained from NGL (wide fraction of light hydrocarbons), which is secreted from the APG. Then the mixture is compressed under high pressure without change of temperature.

Liquefied gas intended for industrial application and heating of various buildings is stored in a special ground or underground tanks – the gas tanks. According to this indicator, as the amount of emitted energy, the fuel of the hydrocarbon components is second only to natural gas.

LPG

Liquefied hydrocarbons are important raw materials for the petrochemical industry. For the manufacture of various products such gases are subjected to pyrolysis process, which takes place at high temperatures. In the end formed compounds olefins (ethylene, propylene, etc.) – acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons with one double bond between the atoms. Then, these complex compounds through the polymerization process are converted into different types of polymers and plastics (polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.). So every day we used packaging, disposable tableware and various objects of daily use were once liquefied gases.

But the main purpose of such gaseous mixtures is different. In the light of certain problems in the energy sector on the background of General economic crisis and underlined the concerns of the world community about the environmental situation on the planet, the liquefied gas becomes extremely important and may soon take a leading position as a motor fuel. Environmentally friendly fuel, which is important.

Today the world fleet of cars running on liquefied hydrocarbon, has more than 20 million units of vehicles. Liquefied gas is widely used for heating residential houses and huge buildings of industrial enterprises, for drying, welding and cutting metals. In addition, it takes quite a strong position in the field of agriculture where it is used for burning weeds and pests.

Great environmental, economic and technological qualities in full measure has liquefied petroleum gas, make it an ideal source of energy present and the future. It is able for many years to solve energy and environmental problems of mankind.
