25 Apr Uses of LPG in Different Industries
Liquefied Petroleum Gas or LPG is a versatile fuel that allows you to heat, light, and power any kinds of machinery when you need it. LPG has also powered hundreds to thousands commercial businesses anywhere around the world.
It can be used in many applications in industries such as heat processing, production of food, packing materials in production, and even in powering forklifts. Below are some industries that have been using LPG in their field.
1. Automotive Industry
LPG for vehicles is called Autogas. It’s more efficient and more environmental friendly in terms of emissions. Unlike other types of gas, LPG is not a Greenhouse Gas and does not release black smoke which is safe for the environment.
2. Aerosol Industry
Since LPG is environmental friendly, it has become the replacement for the Ozone depleting CFC gases that were used before in Aerosols.
3. Metal Industry
This is one of the most important consumers of energy. LPG is a superior fuel compared to other heavy fuels that improve the cost of operation. It also strikes an economic balance between fuel price and quality of the product.
4. Farming Industry
It is the ideal fuel for the production on agriculture. Drying of crops, flame cultivation, livestock farming and other farm products require the use of clean and sulphur-free fuel for drying to avoid any transfer of bad smell or taste to the dried crops.
5. Food Industry
LPG is widely used in the food industry; restaurants, hotels, bakeries and resorts, you name it. LPG has low sulphur content and controllable temperature which makes it the most preferred fuel in the food industry.
6. Glass and Ceramic Industry
The process of manufacturing glass and ceramics is complicated by several chemical reactions that occur during the process. Gas melting is a huge operation and needs a large supply of heat. Since LPG is one of the cleanest fuels, it enhances the product quality and reduces technical problems related to the manufacturing activities.
7. Textile Industry
LPG is also used for singeing of yarn, cotton, silk and infrared drying of cloth. Steam is also generated using the LPG fired boilers.
8. Chemical Production
Paint, polymers, varnish and polish are some products that are part of the chemical engineering field. By using LPG, the chemical processes are enhanced because of its good temperature regulation and high yields of energy that are required by this type of production.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas is an all-around fuel because of its efficiency and environmental friendly approach. Who would have thought that these industries are fully-functioning with the help of LPG, right?
