LPG Meaning and its Production

The term LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas. This combustible combination of hydrocarbon gases is mostly utilised as fuel in cooking, vehicles, heating appliances, etc. It is also used as an aerosol propellant, replacing chlorofluorocarbons in an effort to reduce ozone layer damage. Approximately two-thirds of the LPG is extracted directly from the earth, while the crude oil drilling process produces the remaining.

During the oil refining process, LPG is separated from unprocessed natural gas using refrigeration. Afterwards, it is removed from heated crude oil with a distillation tower. This procedure produces LPG that may be utilised as it is or split into three basic components: isobutane, propane, and butane.

LPG is kept under pressure in tanks or cylinders which makes transporting it from one location to another convenient. Aside from that, it facilitates quick delivery of cylinders to the consumers. LPG is the most preferred domestic cooking fuel because it takes up very little room in the kitchen.
