LPG is a mixture of flammable hydrocarbons which are gas at normal temperature hut liquid under pressure or when cooled below the boiling point at atmospheric pressure. Two mixtures are in common use, commercial propane and commercial butane. Large quantities are stored and handled at British Gas Corporation methane terminal, Shell UK Oil, Mobil Oil Co. Ltd, and Calor t ias LiJ The last also fills and handles large numbers of portable LPG cylinders. 

An example of a process using O2 to oxidize HiS is the Stretford process, which is licensed by the British Gas Corporation. In this process the gas stream is washed with an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate, sodium vanadate, and anthraquinone disulfonic acid. Figure 7-9 shows a simplified process diagram of the process.

The CRG process is one of a range of processes developed by the British Gas Corporation for production of fuel gases. The range and application of these processes and their impact has been described by Hebden, illustrating the effect on capital cost of increasing the carbon/hydrogen ratio of the feedstock,...

This is the most commonly used model for natural gas nets, and most algorithms for incompressible networks may be used for gas networks as well, simply by replacing eqn (3) by eqn (4) in the library of pressure drop correlations. There are several commercially available computer programs for gas networks, among which the ones from the British Gas Corporation (6) and Intercomp (7) are found.

The Stretford process was jointly developed in the l9S0s in the UK by the North Western Gas Board (now the British Gas Corporation) and the Clayton AnilitK (Company, Ltd. It was originally conceived to replace the iron oxide boxes used for the removal of hytfaogen sulfide from coke-oven gas. However, the process proved to be equally suitable for desulfurization of a variety of other gas streams, such as refinery gas, geothermal vent gas, natural gas, and... 

At its peak in the 1970s, Stretford technology was ofiered by more than a dozen companies worldwide, including Kobe Steel Ltd., British Gas Corporation, Sim-Chem Ltd., and the previously mentioned companies. 

Bacteria in the Stretford solution were first discovered in 1978 in a solution sample from a petroleum refinery in Illinois (Wilson and Newell, 1984). The British Gas Corporation insti-...
