Introduction to Natural Gas2

   Properties of Natural Gas:

    Natural gas is colorless, odorless, tasteless, shapeless and lighter than air with a specific gravity of about 0.6-0.8. It is gaseous at any temperature over -161º C. When it is at its natural state, it is not possible to see or smell natural gas. For safety reasons, a chemical odorant that smells a little like rotten eggs, Mercaptan, is added to natural gas so that it can be smelled if there is a gas leak.

     Methane is highly flammable, burns easily and almost completely, while it emits very little air pollution. Natural gas is neither corrosive nor toxic, its ignition temperature is high, and it has a narrow flammability range, making it an inherently safe fossil fuel compared to other fuel sources. It is inflamed during a range of 5-15% by volume of gas in air. The self-ignition Temperature of natural gas is 537-540 Celsius degrees. In addition, because of its specific gravity of 0.60, lower than that of air (1.00), natural gas rises if escaping, thus dissipating from the site of

Introduction to Natural Gas

Definition of natural gas:

      Natural Gas is one of the principle sources of energy for many of our day-to-day needs and activities. Natural gas is a naturally occurring gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, typically with 0–20% higher hydrocarbons (primarily ethane). It is found associated with other hydrocarbon fuel, in coal beds, as methane catharses, and is an important fuel source and a major feedstock for fertilizers. Before natural gas can be used as a fuel, it must undergo processing to remove almost all materials other than methane. The by-products of that processing include ethane, propane, butanes, pentanes, and higher molecular weight hydrocarbons, elemental sulfur, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and sometimes helium and nitrogen

Liquefied Petroleum Gas

Liquefied Petroleum Gas

Introduction: -

   LPG is a modern, affordable alternative to electricity.  Since it comes in a bottle, it can be moved from room to room, taken outdoors or even next door. In addition, LPGas is an energy that responds instantly.  There are no power cuts with LPGas.  It is non-toxic (not poisonous), clean-burning and non-pollutant to the atmosphere. 

Liquefied petroleum gas, or LP gas, is one of the most common alternative fuels used in the world today. In fact, in many places, it isn't an alternative fuel at all: LP gas is a mainstay for heating and cooking in certain areas of India and some rural areas of the United States. When you cook out at a campground or in your backyard using a gas grill or camping stove, you're using some form of LP gas. Known for its versatility and efficiency, these days LP gas is looking like an attractive source of energy for people fed up with high heating bills and skyrocketing

What is LP Gas?

Liquefied petroleum gas (also called LPG, GPL, LP Gas, or liquid propane gas) is a flammable mixture of hydrocarbon gases used as a fuel in heating appliances and vehicles. It is increasingly used as an aerosol propellant and a refrigerant, replacing chlorofluorocarbons in an effort to reduce damage to the ozone layer. When specifically used as a vehicle fuel it is often referred to as auto gas .
