  • Colourless and odourless gas processed from Natural Gas

  • Clean fuel with no unsaturated compounds

  • Has high vapour pressure of 16 kg/cm2( at 40 0C).

  • Vapourises at atmospheric temperature and pressure

  • Ignites at lower temperatures and has higher calorific value than LPG. Hence gives more value for money.

  • It's homogeneous composition results in more efficient combustion. Thus scores over LPG since the air fuel ratio need not be changed with every batch like in the case of LPG.

  • Impurities like sulphur, carbon dioxide, traces of oxides of nitrogen not present.  Hence less corrosive in nature.

  • Very customer-friendly fuel as it is easy to transport, store and use. It is stored in tanks under moderate pressure for convenience and portability.
