LPG is an energy source extremely versatile, easy to use, economical and eco-friendly.
The uses range from the domestic to the industrial, agricultural, automotive sectors.
LPG in civil uses:
The use meets, in the civil sphere, all the energy needs of a family (cooking facilities, hot water, heating, cooling, electricity production).
Also, the LPG gives to the end user a totally self-management of the system, its use and maintenance.
In heating, the use of electric heater / fan coil units with sealed combustion chamber makes it possible not to subtract oxygen in the apartment and to release outside the residues of combustion without polluting the home environment.
Cooling: cool from heat.
Low-cost machines that convert the heat produced by LPG in cold for space cooling.
The use of electrical appliances and machines for home use LPG fired as refrigerators, washer / dryer, lawn equipment, mushrooms radiant, mosquito repellent, pool heaters, pressure washers, vacuum cleaners, power generators, etc. is also widespread.
Pipeline networks in towns / residential complexes: the installation of tanks sized for the demand, the local distribution through underground pipes and placement of meters for the meter readings (such as methane) allow the use of LPG in places not served by natural gas and with significantly lower costs for the community.
Tertiary: Hotels, Supermarkets, Shopping Malls, Catering, Fitness Centre
The ease of installation and immediate use at competitive prices, the constant yield, the availability of a versatile energy in different periods of the year, always ready and with no fixed costs, guarantee the growth in the use of LPG in this area.
Sport / Sports clubs:
The use of LPG is widespread, for example, in the balloon area and in all facilities (football pitches, athletics, etc.), where far from the natural gas network and / or connection costs are too high, it is convenient to use LPG to heat small rooms and for the use of showers.
Pyroweeding (destruction of unwanted weeds in crops, the use of LPG does not pollute the soil and ground water as opposed to chemicals)
Poultry and pig farms (LPG ensures even heat distribution and faster growth of the animals as well as a lower mortality rate)
Greenhouses (the best carbon fertilization of LPG increases the leaf mass of the plants)
Industrial / handcraft uses
The constant yield of the product makes LPG an ideal fuel for some sectors that need, in the production process of a high heat capacity and of a continuous and constant yield to the utilization point.
The sectors that are now in full development in the use of LPG are (some examples): food, metal, flame, glass, paper, ceramics, precious metals, sewage sludge drying, flaming marbles., leather processing, galvanic treatment, footwear heat-treatment, plastics for the production of glasses, heat-treatment of packaging nylon / plastic, paint drying, processing plastic foams and asphalt production, sealing, soldering, drying plaster, paint removal in shipbuilding, refrigerating rooms.
Propellant for spray cans (replacing CFCs that have contributed to the ozone hole and banned by the Montreal Protocol).
Cogeneration / Trigeneration / Polygeneration
LPG for its characteristics is extremely suitable for this cycle of energy conversion where the primary energy, LPG, can produce heat, electricity and cold significantly reducing leakage, pollution and cost of energy bills.
Poly-generation (today's projects, especially in greenhouses) is the process that not only produces heat, cold, electricity, recovers CO2 emissions from the combustion of LPG and re-emits in the greenhouse for better plant growth.
Mobility Sector:
The world is mobilizing to find alternatives to traditional fuels (petrol and diesel oil) that are among the most responsible (25%) of air pollution.
LPG is one of the prompt and reliable solutions.
LPG is the best alternative to gasoline having higher calorific value than methane (at the same loaded weight), without the corrosion problems that are given by methanol and ethanol
Benzene, lead and PAHs (aromatic hydrocarbons polyclinics) are, in fact completely absent and there is almost no sulfur.
By ANPA (National Agency for Environmental Protection): “…it is unequivocally demonstrated a substantial economic-environmental benefit of LPG use compared to gasoline with the same vehicle technology”.
By EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT (Commission Alternative Fuels):
“…LPG is one of the available resources that will be used to replace 20% (the stated goal) of conventional fuels"
