FAQ's

    • LPG – Liquefied Petroleum Gas – describes flammable hydrocarbon gases including propane, butane and mixtures of these gases.
    • LPG, liquefied through pressurisation, comes from natural gas processing and oil refining.
    • LPG is used as heating, cooking and auto fuel.
    • In different countries, what is supplied can be propane, butane or propane-butane blends.
    • In Australia, LPG is just propane. Propane is LPG but not all LPG is propane.

    • LPG (or LP Gas) is the acronym for Liquefied Petroleum Gas or Liquid Petroleum Gas.
    • LPG is a group of flammable hydrocarbon gases that are liquefied through pressurisation and commonly used as fuel.
    • LPG comes from natural gas processing and petroleum refining.
    • There are a number of gases that fall under the LPG label, including propane, butane (n-butane) and isobutane (i-butane), as well as mixtures of these gases.
    • LPG gases can all be compressed into liquid at relatively low pressures.
    • LPG is frequently used for fuel in heating, cooking, hot water and vehicles, as well as for refrigerants, aerosol propellants and petrochemical feedstock.
    • LPG is generally stored, as a liquid, in steel vessels ranging from small BBQ gas bottles to larger gas cylinders and LPG storage tanks.

    • LPG comes from drilling oil and gas wells.
    • It is a fossil fuel that does not occur in isolation. LPG is found naturally in combination with other hydrocarbons, typically crude oil and natural gas.
    • LPG is produced during natural gas processing and oil.
    • It is isolated, liquefied through pressurisation and stored in pressure vessels.

    • LPG comes from drilling oil and gas wells.
    • The typical LPG gases propane and butane are regarded as Natural Gas Liquids - NGLs.
    • Natural gas liquids, also called Condensate, include other hydrocarbons, too.
    • Interestingly, LNG liquefied natural gas is NOT a natural gas liquid.

    • Raw natural gas, as it comes out of the ground, contains a number of gases and compounds, as well as impurities.
    • However, it is predominantly methane (CH4) gas, which is more commonly known as natural gas.
    • The raw natural gas must be processed to obtain pipeline quality clean, dry natural gas (methane), including the removal of impurities.
    • NGLs Natural Gas Liquids or condensate are the heavier hydrocarbons that remain after the methane (natural gas) and impurities are removed.
    • NGLs include isobutane, ethane, ethene, propene, isobutene, butadiene, pentane, pentene and pentanes plus, as well as propane and butane.
    • Natural gas liquids (NGL) range from 1% to 10% of the raw natural gas flow.

    • LPG is made during natural gas processing and oil refining.
    • LPG is separated from unprocessed natural gas using refrigeration.
    • LPG is extracted from heated crude oil using a distillation tower.
    • This LPG can be used as is or separated into its three primary parts: propane, butane and isobutane.
    • It is stored pressurised, as a liquid, in cylinders or tanks.

    • LPG is produced during natural gas processing and petroleum refining.
    • Propane does not occur naturally in isolation. LPG processing involves separation and collection of the gas from its petroleum base.
    • LPG is isolated from the hydrocarbon mixtures by separation from natural gas or by the refining of crude oil.
    • Both processes begin by drilling oil wells.
    • The gas/oil mixture is piped out of the well and into a gas trap, which separates the stream into crude oil and "wet" gas, which contains LPG and natural gas.
    • The heavier crude oil sinks to the bottom of the trap and is then pumped into an oil storage tank for refining. Crude oil undergoes a variety of refining processes, including catalytic cracking, crude distillation, and others.
    • One of the refined products is LPG.
    • The "wet" gas, off the top of the gas trap, is processed to separate the gasoline (petrol) from the natural gas and LPG.
    • The natural gas, which is mostly methane, is piped to towns and cities for distribution by gas utility companies. The petrol is shipped to service stations.
    • The LPG also enters the distribution network, where it eventually finds its way to end users, including Home LPG and Commercial LPG users all around Australia and the world.
    • At the point of use it once again becomes a gas.

    • LPG – Liquefied Petroleum Gas – has hundreds, if not thousands, of uses including hot air balloons The LPG uses most people can name are around the home, in their cars or for their business.
    • Heating, cooking and hot water are the most common domestic uses.
    • It is used in leisure time activities including caravans, boats, recreational vehicles and camping. Business and industry use LPG for a multitude of processes including steam boilers, kilns, ovens and LPG forklifts.
    • It is also employed as a propellant, refrigerant, vehicle fuel and petrochemical feedstock.
    • Crop and produce drying, heating greenhouses, hot water for dairies, irrigation pumps and heating animal enclosures are just some of the agricultural applications for LPG.
    • Transport is also a big user of LPG (Autogas), either as propane or propane mixed with butane, to power various vehicle types.
    • There are also many, many more LPG applications, including power generation and the hospitality industry.

    • The meaning of LPG is either Liquefied Petroleum Gas or Liquid Petroleum Gas.
    • LPG goes by many names and this can sometimes be confusing.
    • It is also called LPG Gas, LP Gas, Propane, BBQ Gas, Camping Gas or Autogas.

    • LPG is not just a single gas.
    • There are a number of gases that fall under the LPG category.
    • The most common of these include propane, butane (n-butane) and isobutane (i-butane), as well as mixtures of these gases.
    • Other gases that also fall under the “LPG” label, including ethane, ethylene, propylene, butylene and isobutylene, as well as mixtures of these gases. In Australia, LPG is propane.
    • In the USA it is also propane and they call it "propane" instead of "LPG".
    • In New Zealand, LPG is a mixture of propane and butane.
    • In the UK, consumers have choices. It is referred to as either propane, butane or LPG, depending on what gas is present in the customer's choice.
