  • An alternative automotive fuel
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)

LPG is a flammable mixture of hydrocarbon gases, mainly Propane (C₃H₈) and Butane (C₄H₁₀). It is stored and transported either as a liquid under moderate pressure in cylinders and bulk tanks, or at low temperatures (–42°C for Propane and ~0°C for Butane) in large-scale marine carriers. It is valued for high energy efficiency and clean combustion across cooking, heating, industrial, and mobility applications. SPII offers pure C3 (Propane) and pure C4 (n-/iso-Butane) streams.
