Liquefied Petroleum Gas
Energy that feeds the industry and turns into flavor on your plate
We are part of your everyday life, whether in the kitchen of your home or in the products you use. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), also known as “cooking gas” or “canister gas”, is a fuel intended mainly for domestic and industrial use.
LPG is mainly composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons containing three to four carbon atoms, which, although gaseous under Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP), can be liquefied under compression or cooling, which optimizes transport and storage. LPG can be produced from refining processes or natural gas processing units (UPGNs).
As one of the main players in the refining and production of LPG, we sell products to distribution companies that, in addition to meeting the specification, meet the highest standards of quality and safety, as well as specialized knowledge for technical guidance.
Petrobras LPG is easy to burn in the gaseous state, has great calorific value and promotes more complete combustion, with lower formation of residues and soot, and consequently less pollutant, being a suitable option for applications where the final product cannot be contaminated in the fuel burning process, such as food and ceramics.
Main features:
- Complete combustion, without forming soot;
Ease of vaporization under ambient conditions;
For greater safety and when necessary, a sulfur-based odorant (usually ethyl mercaptan) is added to Petrobras LPG (domestic) so that it is easily detectable in the event of leaks.
Petrobras LPG was developed with technology to meet the strict quality requirements related to volatility, corrosivity and residue formation. We produce and sell LPG with different levels of hydrocarbons in its composition to distribution companies.
The distribution companies, in turn, sell LPG to resellers or provide direct service to industries and commerce, being able to deliver in bulk or bottled in 2, 5, 8 or 13 kg canisters and 20, 45 or 90 kg canisters.
