What is LPG? LPG stands for liquid petroleum gas, also known as liquefied petroleum gas. LPG is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases, primarily propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10) in a 50/50 ratio. This mixture is compressed into a liquid state for storage under a certain pressure.

LPG in industry

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is used in industrial production activities such as drying, baking, welding, burning, and more. Additionally, LPG is also used as fuel in agricultural production, such as drying agricultural products, making fertilizers, and more. To use LPG in industry, the installation of an LPG station system is mandatory. Manufacturers can also rent this LPG station system from DATA Energy.
