Description
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) can be used for domestic cooking, heating, and as automotive fuel; this dataset includes primary raw materials, auxiliary materials, energy inputs, atmospheric emissions, water discharges, waste, production equipment, and infrastructure such as factory buildings; however, crude oil extraction and transportation are excluded from the system boundary of this dataset; the life cycle inventory is compiled from data sourced from multiple references; LPG production technologies involve typical petroleum processing and refining operations, including atmospheric and vacuum distillation, catalytic reforming, catalytic cracking, delayed coking, diesel hydrotreating, petrol adsorption desulfurization, liquefied gas separation, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) production, and acid gas removal processes. Preface.
Activity Description
The production activities of the product include general petroleum processing and refining operations, specifically atmospheric and vacuum distillation, catalytic reforming, catalytic cracking, delayed coking, diesel hydrotreating, gasoline adsorption desulfurization, liquefied gas separation, methyl tert-butyl ether production, and acid gas removal.
Process Description
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), like petroleum and natural gas, is a fossil fuel. It is a mixture of various low-boiling-point gases produced during the petroleum refining process and does not have a fixed composition. The main components are butylene, propylene, butane, and propane. Its primary applications include household cooking and heating, as well as automotive fuel.
