Industries Benefiting from LPG:
Hotel & Hospitality: Ideal for boiling, stewing, frying, grilling, toasting, broiling, roasting, baking, and more.
Food Processing: Perfect for tea drying, biscuit baking, bread baking, cocoa bean roasting, coffee roasting, chicory roasting, cornflake production, and various other drying, roasting, and frying processes.
Comparing Various Fuels
Fuel Atomization: The atomization of fuel requires external energy (by pump or compressor) to atomize before injecting the fuel into the combustion chamber. Heavier fuels have higher atomization costs. Gaseous fuels do not require atomization, giving them an advantage of 2-3%.
Latent Heat of Vaporization: During combustion, liquid fuel gets converted to vapor, and the vaporization process takes away the latent heat of vaporization from the combustion heat. Gaseous fuels do not require vaporization, hence no heat loss from the combustion process.
Excess Air: All fuels except gases are burnt with more positive pressure, requiring combustion air to be fed at higher pressure. Gaseous fuels can be burnt 100% at atmospheric pressure, requiring less combustion air pressure and resulting in less stack losses. This gives gaseous fuels an advantage of more than 10% over liquids in terms of exhaust losses.
Burning Speed: LPG burns faster than liquid and solid fuels, ensuring no unburnt fuel goes into the exhaust, further improving efficiency, especially in high consumption applications.
Indirect Advantages of Using Gas
- Future Fuel: Gas is considered the fuel of the future
- Low Maintenance: Equipment maintenance is minimal.
- Direct Heating: Direct heating is possible with gas.
- No Vaporization Losses: There are no vaporization losses from the storage tank, unlike liquid fuels.

Benefits of LPG
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is an outstanding energy source due to its origin, benefits, applications, and industry. As a clean, lower carbon, efficient, and innovative energy, it offers numerous advantages to consumers, industry, and the environment. Here are some key benefits:
- Lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions*: LPG emits fewer greenhouse gases compared to petrol, diesel, and electricity on an energy-equivalent basis.
- Simpler Maintenance: LPG combustion systems are easier to maintain due to fewer accessories and less frequent cleaning, resulting in fewer shutdowns and lower maintenance costs.
- Cost-Effective: A high proportion of LPG’s energy content is converted into heat, making it up to five times more efficient than traditional fuels like Diesel (HSD & LDO) and Furnace Oil (F.O.), leading to less energy wastage and better use of resources.
- Accurate Temperature Control: Easy and precise temperature control ensures superior product quality.
- Accessibility: LPG is accessible to everyone everywhere today without major infrastructure and investment.
Instant Heat: LPG provides instant heat, allowing the desired temperature to be reached quickly, increasing productivity. - Less Excess Air Required: LPG combustion requires less excess air, resulting in minimal burning losses in melting and heating processes.
