NGV FUEL

YATEC manufactures liquified petroleum gas of propane-butane motor grade and technical propane-butane grade per
GOST R 52087-2018 “Fuel Liquefied Hydrocarbon Gases. Specifications”.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or propane-butane (a mix of propane C3H8 and butane C4H10) is one of the most common types of alternative fuel.

LPG is a mix of propane, normal butane, isobutane, propylene, ethane, ethylene, and other hydrocarbons. It is obtained as a petrochemical product at oil refineries or during oil and natural gas production.

This gas mix can be used as a fuel due to a number of its physical and chemical properties.

First, it’s rather high boiling point at ambient pressure, allowing for storage of liquefied propane-butane mix in an operation temperature range from -40 °С to +45 °С at relatively low pressure (up to 1.6 MPa).

LPG does not change or lose its properties for a long time, it does not degrade. LPG octane rating is better than that of gasoline and diesel, and ranges within 90-110 depending on the propane to butane ratio in the mix.

LPG energy efficiency is lower than with traditional fuels due to a low energy capacity per volume unit. It increases consumption for combustion by 10-20 % compared to gasoline but is offset by its price being twice lower. LPG combustion is more efficient and safe in an engine even at a cold start, and relatively clean, without smoke or ash, i. e. it is more environmentally friendly.

LPG advantages compared to diesel fuel:

90%

less particulate matter

90%

less nitrogen oxides

60%

less CO2

LPG does not contaminate soil as it is insoluble in water.

Each gas component has its own boiling point,
hence LPG vapour phase pressure depends both on the temperature and composition.

Compliance with quality standards ensures the top quality of the products. Company personnel monitors product quality closely in each and every batch.

Company-owned tank farms ensure uninterrupted supply of raw materials in any amounts requested by a customer.
