LPG Pipeline: The Future Of Distributing Fuel To India


Liquefied petroleum gas commonly referred to as LPG is in essence a combination two combustible, hydrocarbon gases namely butane and propane.  This combination of highly inflammable gases is widely used as fuel source for the purpose of cooking, heating appliances, and in some cases as fuel for vehicles.  LPG is a non-toxic, reasonably priced, competent fuel source for domestic applications particularly for the purpose of cooking.  Compared to old-fashioned fuel sources like fire wood or coal, which cause enormously adverse indoor pollution and is a grave health hazard, LPG causes negligible interior pollution.  LPG is an immensely prevalent affordable cooking fuel, and vast majority of Indian households are now increasingly favoring using this gas. Nowadays extensive LPG pipelines are being installed even to reach distant inaccessible areas in order to facilitate easy availability of the reasonably priced cooking fuel. Indian Oil Corporation has the plan to provide roughly 1987 kilometers of LPG pipeline in the states of Gujarat and UP in the near future, and thus there will be an expansiveand far reaching network of LPG pipeline in various parts India very before long. In the direction of comprehending in more essential details, one must be aware about the basics of LPG pipeline and the functioning of distribution through pipelines.

The LPG gas pipelines start from natural gas extraction facilities or the import /export facilities, and it is further delivered to a diverse array of sites. The eventual dissemination targets are mostly the households, or it can be delivered directly to other export facilities.

There are three diverse varieties of pipes that are utilized in the whole process of LPG circulation organization of the LPG pipeline in India, and these are classified as follows:

Ø  Gathering system: In this scheme, the LPG is collected through the utilization of compressor systems and moved to the pipelines or the processing plant. The processing plants remove the impurities including water, CO2, or sulfur that can cause damage by corroding the LPG pipeline and additionally remove inert gases like helium, etc. that may reduce the energy value.
Ø  Transmission system: After the accumulation of the LPG, it is advanced through the large transmission system to different points across the cities, urban centers and metropolises in different parts of the country. As a precautionary mechanism, these LPG pipelines are designed to endure extensive pressure over a wide range without any chance of leakage that may lead to major accidents.
Ø  Distribution system: The distribution of LPG pipeline consists of a network of pipes that dispenses the fuels to households. The main supply line brings the fuel closer to the cities.

These days, it has become a popular alternative of petrol. In both commercial and residential places, the demand for LPG is getting increased. It is a greener way of living today. Over the years, we have used petrol to run our cars and contributed to greenhouse gases. But no more we can do that. Today we have LPG and definitely it is a better alternative. There are some myths regarding the usage of LPG for cars. Today, we will clear that. The first myth is that LPG damages the car engine. Generally, LPG car engine warms up quicker than petrol even with a cold engine. Petrol engines take really long time to heat up. LPG is of high octane and it has far less pre-ignition and burns in a cleaner way. The LPG car engine will run smoothly with cleaner valves, spark plugs, cylinder heads, and pistons. LPG conversion ...

LPG Flames Used For High Quality Ceramic Products

Are you addicted to tea or coffee? Do you prefer cups or mugs made from ceramics or glass? Yes, it is great to have a hot cup of tea or coffee in a chilling cold evening. For preparing the cup of hot beverage you might have used a burner using LPG fuel. But, will you wonder if you come to know that this LPG is required while making the ceramic pots? Are you surprised? Yes, it is true. The manufacturing process of ceramic and glass items are little bit complicated and lots of chemical reactions occur in each of the steps. To reduce the technical issues during the manufacturing process in the ceramic and glass industry as well as to enhance the product quality, liquefied petroleum gas is used. However, there are several reasons for using LPG flames in this industry. LPG flames used in the ceramic industry for different purposes:    ·   Used to trim or give smooth finishing the sharp edges of ceramic products.    ·   In the smoothening process of t...

Carbon Dioxide Emission Reduced With Liquefied Petroleum Gas Usage

In today’s life, everyone is accustomed to the term LPG. This is nothing but the liquefied petroleum gas that is prepared by refining petroleum or extraction of natural gas. The gas in its liquefied form is a highly inflammable hydrocarbon, mostly used as fuel. Usage of fuel gas in households: The highest usage of LPG is not restricted to the wealthy classes of India, rather the Prime Minister’s social welfare schemes have included the facility of providing LPG in every house either in urban or rural areas. In this government’s efforts of popularizing the gas in Indian household is in a subsidized rate.   Use of LPG in other areas apart from household fuel options: Apart from using the gas cylinders as the major fueling options in the kitchen areas, it is also used in many other areas. The usage includes vehicles of the modern era that uses it as the main fuel, replacing petrol or diesel. In many automobile cars and other four-wheelers, the options of fuel tanker...
