    Abstract :

    LPG consists of an propylene, butylenes and many other hydro carbon mixtures. The allowable quantity of propylene in LPG is about 5%. Though Propylene has many adverse effects it is used as feedstock for many reactors and used as light power fuel. LPG is a form of natural gas which has rich portion of propylene in it. on demand necessity of lighter power fuel in the market demands for the more propylene supply. This paper reveals the promising removal technology of propylene from the LPG. Distillation and catalyst hydrogenation technologies are used for the separation of propylene from the hydrocarbons. But the later was costly when compared to the former. In our proposed technology cost effective methods are used for the same purpose. From our method about 95% pure propylene is being obtained.
