LPG as petrochemical feedstock for propylene, ethylene, and butylene production - supporting India's plastics, synthetic rubber, and synthetic fibre industries.
Approximately 40% of global LPG supply is consumed as petrochemical feedstock rather than as fuel. In India, LPG (primarily propane) is used as feedstock for Propane Dehydrogenation (PDH) plants, which convert propane to propylene - a key monomer for polypropylene plastics used in packaging, automotive components, and consumer goods.
LPG cracking also produces ethylene, butylene, and isobutylene - feedstocks for polyethylene, synthetic rubber (butyl rubber, SBR), synthetic fibres (polyester, nylon precursors), and specialty chemicals. BPCL's bulk LPG supply capabilities serve large-scale petrochemical feedstock users across India.
BPCL commercial LPG's consistent composition ensures stable PDH reactor performance and product yield.
LPG feedstock typically offers a cost advantage vs naphtha for propylene and ethylene production in India.
BPCL's bulk LPG terminal infrastructure supports large-volume feedstock delivery to petrochemical complexes.
BPCL can supply LPG with specified propane/butane ratios to meet individual feedstock process requirements.
Bulk piped LPG supply is also available for high-volume consumers. Contact BPCL to discuss your requirements.
