Liquefied petroleum gas is a kind of petroleum products. It is a colorless and odorless gas, which is obtained from oil and gas field exploitation or deep processing of oil and coal. It is gaseous at normal temperature and pressure, and can be condensed into liquid under the conditions of pressurization and cooling, so it is called liquefied petroleum gas. The pungent smell of liquefied gas is a strong odor substance ethanethiol added during transportation or storage, so the leakage of liquefied gas will be easily found.

Liquefied gas obtained from natural gas basically contains no olefins, and its main components are alkanes such as propane and butane.

Liquefied gas obtained from the refinery is mainly composed of one or more of propane, propylene, butane and butene, and is also doped with a small amount of pentane, pentene and a small amount of sulfide impurities.
