The Evolution of LPG Pump Technology

Image
The Evolution of LPG Pump Technology Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a versatile and clean-burning fuel gas. It is composed primarily of: ·         Propane (C₃H₈) ·         Butane (C₄H₁₀) In its natural state, It's: ·         Colourless ·         Odourless Hence, an odorant is added to aid in leak detection. LPG is heavier than air and can settle in low-lying areas if leaked. LPG is produced during petroleum refining. In other words, it is extracted from natural gas. It undergoes processing to remove impurities. This purification process helps LPG meet commercial specifications. LPG has a wide range of applications, both domestically and industrially. In domestic settings, it's used for: ·         Cooking ·         Heating ·      ...
