How Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is Produced?

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a fuel produced during the processing of natural gas and the refining of crude oil.

It mainly consists of a mixture of propane and butane gases.

Although it exists in a gaseous state at normal temperature, it is stored in liquid form under high pressure.

During crude oil refining, LPG is separated from other components.

It is then purified and compressed into cylinders.

LPG is easy to transport, has high combustion efficiency, and produces relatively less pollution.

It is widely used for cooking, as a vehicle fuel, and in various industrial applications, playing an important role in modern life.
