INTRODUCTION LIQUID FUEL
Liquid fuel plays a pivotal role in industrial boilers, which generate steam or hot water for a variety of industrial processes. The efficiency of these boilers depends significantly on the continuous and reliable supply of fuel. A wide array of gaseous and liquid fuels is suitable for industrial boilers, including:
- Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
- Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
- Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
- Biogas

OVERVIEW OF FUEL TYPES
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
LPG, a mixture of propane (C₃H₈) and butane (C₄H₁₀), is commonly stored in household gas cylinders. The propane-to-butane ratio in LPG typically ranges from 3:7 to 5:5. Although it produces higher emissions—such as CO, CO₂, and NO—than other fuels like CNG or LNG, LPG remains a versatile option.

LPG is widely utilized in industries for heating and cooking due to its higher energy density compared to CNG. This means it can store more energy in a smaller volume. While it is less expensive than LNG, LPG costs more than CNG. One disadvantage, however, is its higher emission levels, which might be unsuitable for environmentally sensitive operations.

Compressed natural gas (CNG)
CNG is derived by compressing natural gas (mainly CH₄) to pressures between 2
(Vn-Industry.)
(Vn-Industry.)
and 25
(Vn-Industry.)
bar for easier transportation and storage. Consisting of approximately 84% methane and 12% ethane, CNG is an economical and eco-friendly alternative to gasoline and LPG.

When used, CNG emits lower levels of CO, CO₂, and NO, which makes it a cleaner fuel. Its storage and handling involve high-pressure cylinders. However, its lower energy density necessitates larger storage volumes to deliver the same energy output as LPG or LNG, a potential limitation in space-constrained industrial settings.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG)
LNG is produced by cooling natural gas to -162°C, converting it into a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic liquid. Composed primarily of methane (94.3%), LNG is a clean-burning fuel with fewer emissions than traditional options. Its higher energy density allows for compact storage.
Nevertheless, LNG is more expensive than CNG and LPG due to the specialized infrastructure required for its storage and transportation. The energy-intensive process of liquefaction and transport also adds to its cost, which industries must weigh against its environmental benefits.

Biogas
Biogas is a renewable energy source generated through the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. Consisting mainly of methane and carbon dioxide, biogas requires purification to remove impurities like hydrogen sulfide before use.
