Hindustan Petroleum and Liquefied Petroleum - LPG 

Liquefied petroleum gas or liquid petroleum gas (LPG or LP gas), also technically known as propane or butane, are flammable mixtures of hydrocarbon gases used as fuel in various types of appliances, cooking equipment, and even vehicles. LPG contains mixes that are primarily propane (C3H8), primarily butane (C4H10) and usually mixes include both propane and butane. LPG is a nonpoisonous and colorless gas, which can be liquefied at moderate pressure and is stored in cylinders as a liquid under pressure.  During production a chemical compound by name mercaptan is added to it so as to give the foul smell for easy detection of gas in the air. Even while cooking we get the smell of the gas.  If the gas is heavier there is chances of leakage, which need to be addressed immediately.

LPG is prepared by refining petroleum or wet natural gas; it is derived from fossil fuel sources.  It is manufactured during the refining of petroleum or natural gas streams as they emerge from the ground. The boiling point is below room temperature; LPG will evaporate quickly at normal temperatures and pressures and is usually supplied in pressurized steel vessels. They are typically filled to 80–85% of their capacity to allow for thermal expansion of the contained liquid.  There are different weights of vessels in which it is supplied.  The vessels are usually known as cylinders.  The cylinders for domestic purposes are small compared to the cylinders used for commercial purposes.
The LPG cylinders are freely available in petroleum exporting countries and other developed nations.  However in the developing countries and the countries which are short of fossil fuels, the rationing system is followed in order to supply the gas cylinders containing LPG.
