Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a kind of colorless volatile liquid obtained from natural gas or petroleum through pressurization and cooling liquefaction in the refinery. Extremely easy to self ignite. When its content in the air reaches a certain concentration range, it will explode in case of open fire. The liquefied petroleum gas obtained from the refinery is mainly composed of one or two of propane, propylene, butane and butene, and it is also mixed with a small amount of pentane, pentene and trace sulfide impurities. If further purification of liquefied petroleum gas is required, ethanolamine absorption tower can be used to absorb and remove the oxygen sulfide carbon, and then the excess sulfide can be washed off with alkali.
Natural gas is a kind of gaseous fossil fuel mainly composed of methane. It mainly exists in oil fields and natural gas fields, with a small amount coming from coal seams. Like crude oil, natural gas is also buried in underground closed geological structures, some of which are stored in the same layer as crude oil, and some exist alone. Natural gas stored in the same layer with crude oil will be extracted together with crude oil. Natural gas is mainly used as fuel to produce carbon black, chemicals and liquefied petroleum gas. Propane and butane produced from natural gas are important raw materials for modern industry. Natural gas is mainly composed of gaseous low molecular hydrocarbon and non hydrocarbon gas. With the accelerated implementation of natural gas price reform, the 13th Five Year Plan to vigorously promote the development of natural gas is approaching, and the use of natural gas has increased significantly in the recent cold weather, the development of natural gas will usher in a historic opportunity.
