As you know, propane belongs to the hydrocarbon family, which is classified in the class of alkanes. Propane consists of three carbon atoms. This gas is colorless and odorless, but it can be artificially scented. Propane is in a gaseous state under normal conditions, but by applying pressure and cold, they turn it into a liquid state to make it easier to transport. Propane gas can be extracted from oil wells. Approximately 10-50% of propane and butane gas, if mixed with each other, is produced as liquid gas. To store this gas, make sure that the environment has proper ventilation. This gas is stored under pressure inside the cylinder, so a device such as a regulator should be used to reduce the pressure of propane gas.
It should be mentioned that propane gas damages the human nervous system and is highly flammable, and propane gas should be kept away from sparks and fire.
Propane gas supply
Natural gas contains hydrocarbons such as methane, ethane and propane. In fact, propane gas can be extracted from natural gas and oil wells (separation of different oil components in the refinery). In fact, propane gas is a byproduct of natural gas processing and crude oil refining. The produced propane gas is stored in the tank if it is liquid, and if the propane is gaseous, it is stored in the cylinder.
Maybe many of you have this question, how is the production of propane gas?
Propane gas is usually obtained from nature and is considered as a fossil fuel. Propane gas can be obtained naturally by combining with other hydrocarbons.
Another question you may have is how is propane produced?
As mentioned, propane gas is produced by refining natural gas and crude oil. This operation is done using a distillation tower.
