PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Liqui?ed Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a term describing a group of hydrocarbon based gases derived from crude oil and or natural gas. Natural Gas purification produces about 55 percent of all LPG, while crude oil re?ning produces about 45 percent. LPG is mostly propane, butane or a mix of the two. LPG becomes a liquid at normal pressure and a temperature of 42° C, or at normal temperatures under a pressure of about eight atmospheres. LPG is stored primarily as a liquid at a moderate pressure, depending only on the ambient air temperature around the cylinder. LPG bulk tanks are normally filled to 87% of their capacity as this allows sufficient vapour space above the liquid level for the propane to expand and contract with changes in temperature. A major advantage of propane which has the formula of C3H8, meaning that each molecule consists of just three carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms is that it forms very few harmful pollutants. In fact, the hydrocarbon emissions from a gas powered engine are not radical... in other words, they do not react with sun light and oxides of nitrogen to form photo chemical smog.
Uses and Applications
LPG, primarily propane, is widely used as a fuel for heating and cooking. Its transportability and easy storage have boosted its popularity. Although relatively few urban residences depend upon large propane tanks for heating and cooking, smaller tanks for outdoor grills are extremely common throughout the nation.Propane also is used to generate electricity through microturbines and combined heat and power (CHP) technology. Microturbines are very small turbines intended to generate electricity for homes or commercial establishments, as well as for vehicles such as hybrid buses.
Advantages
Abundant local supplies – vast reserves, without relying on imports, Cheap – a small fraction of the cost of petrol and diesel; Readily available – excellent infra structure that is still expanding to remote areas; Safe Extremely strong storage tanks – cylindrical with round ends; Gaseous fuel – disperses and diffuses quickly; Higher ignition temperature – 470 0C compared with 300 – 400 0C for petrol; Higher lower flammability limit – 1.9% volume in air, compared with 0.6% for petrol, on toxic (anaesthetic only);High octane rating Prevents detonation – stops pinging or knocking etc.
