LPG-air blending to simulate Natural Gas properties - providing seamless backup supply during PNG network interruptions without equipment modification.
Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) is produced by blending LPG (53% propane) with air (47% by volume) to create a gas with a Wobbe Index, flame speed, and combustion characteristics that closely match pipeline Natural Gas. Industrial and commercial facilities connected to PNG networks use SNG systems to maintain operations during planned and unplanned NG supply interruptions.
The critical advantage of SNG is that it can be delivered at the same pressure and through the same orifices as Natural Gas - requiring no adjustment to burners, control valves, or combustion equipment. BPCL supports facilities in designing and commissioning SNG backup systems for critical industrial and commercial gas users.
SNG operates through existing NG burners, orifices, and control systems - no retooling required.
Automated SNG systems switch from PNG to LPG-air blend in milliseconds upon pressure loss detection.
SNG backup prevents costly production shutdowns in manufacturing facilities dependent on continuous gas supply.
Blend ratios can be adjusted to match specific NG network Wobbe Index at the customer's location.
Bulk piped LPG supply is also available for high-volume consumers. Contact BPCL to discuss your requirements.
