LPG
Liquid Petroleum Gas
Liquid gas, otherwise know as LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas), is a blend of hydrocarbons, primarily constituited by propane and butane.
These gases liquefy at low pressures, which makes them easy to store and transport.
In the gas market, LPG represents an important element that is currently undergoing extensive development. These liquefied gases are easily transported in relatively lightweight containers such as rail or road tankers, thus enabling easy distribution.
LPG is extremely widely used. Tanks can be installed above or belowground in any location close to a road, in order to provide a sufficient quantity of energy to satisfy the user's needs.
The product's field of application ranges from domestic heating to artisan, industrial and tourism (hotels, restaurants and campsites) uses, agricultural applications such as for heating greenhouses and husbandry purposes, also in combination with other sources of energy. At equal weight it has a very high calorific value.
The combustion of 1kg of LPG provides the same amount of heat as that obtained by burning 1.4 m3 of methane or the use of 14Kw of electricity. LPG is environmentally friendly as when burnt it does not
produce fumes or leave polluting residues.
It may also be used to power motor vehicles, as a replacement for petrol and with suitable alterations; it may also be used on urban public transport networks.
