Abstract

Liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) consist of hydrocarbons obtained by refining crude oil, either from propane or butane or a mixture of the two. There are often other components such as propylene, butylene or other hydrocarbons, but they are not the main component. The study aims to review previous studies dealing with designing an LPG system to deliver gas to residential campuses and buildings. LPG is extracted from natural gas NG by several processes, passing through fractionation towers and then pressuring into CNG storage tanks. Gas contains several problems, including gas leakage through the pipes and leads to fires or explosions in LPG storage and distribution tanks, so safety conditions were taken in the design and implementation. The major results are the gas leak detector showed that rapid response to gas leakage sense, so it is recommended to place the device at a distance of 0.6-2 meters from the gas source and at a distance of 0.2 to 1 meter above the ground, and the major conclusion is new techniques for using hardware and software components must be demonstrated again that can be applied to models to show fast and effective results.

Many studies were conducted on the design of an Liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) tank suitable for moderate pressure according to ASME specification, and the results were compared with the design programs COMPRESS and PV ELLITE

Summary

Introduction

Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) was used in homes by cylinders for easy movement and transportation. There was a need to use a system that supplies buildings with liquefied gas through a network and transferred to the floors for use in cooking, water heating, and other uses. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is considered suitable for home heating and cooking due to its economic characteristics and practical advantages clean combustion, no cumbersome prolonged purchase, and it is cleaner. One of its advantages is reducing air pollution because switching from using traditional coal or wood combustion to liquefied petroleum gas means that the health and environmental conditions are met (Matthews and Zeissig, 2011). One of the disadvantages or dangers of LPG is the gas leakage inside buildings or homes and lead to fires or explosions (Mahalingam, et al, 2012)
