98.5% Commercial propane is produced form our NGL plant, Propane is a flammable odorless and colorless product in gas state under normal pressure and temperature, but compressible to be liquid, product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining, it is commonly Propane is one of a group of liquefied petroleum gases.

Propane is produced either by natural gas processing or petroleum refining; the processing of natural gas involves removal of butane, propane, and large amounts of ethane from the raw gas, in order to recover those valuable products.

Additionally, oil refineries produce some propane as a by-product of cracking petroleum into gasoline or heating oil, the supply of propane cannot easily be adjusted to meet increased demand.

Propane is denser than air. If a leak in a propane fuel system occurs, the gas will have a tendency to sink into any enclosed area and thus poses a risk of explosion and fire. The typical scenario is a leaking cylinder stored in a basement; the propane leak drifts across the floor to the pilot light on the furnace or water heater, and results in an explosion or fire. This property makes propane generally unsuitable as a fuel for boats.
