Versatile and capable: Advantages of regenerative turbine pumps in LPG applications

Autogas (also referred to as LPG) has become a popular fuel source around the globe, evidenced by its steady increase in consumption in recent years. In 2019, global LPG consumption reached 27.1 MMt, with 27.8 MM LPG vehicles in use around the world, according to the World LPG Association. This fuel source is a mixture of propane and butane. Its composition allows it to be stored and transported as a liquid and burned as a gas. With an abundance of LPG vehicles around the world, dispensing installations are needed to meet increasing demand. However, LPG is not the easiest to handle or process. Pumps designed to handle LPG must be able to handle low viscosities—sometimes as low as 0.1 centi
