<span>Liquefied Petroleum Gas which is popularly known as LPG is a clean source of energy which is highly flammable and usually compressed into storage tanks. Due to the flammable nature of LPG it can easily lead to uncontrollable explosions in the presence of any ignition action or may lead to complete depletion of oxygen in a particular area. This study is focused on the fabrication of a system that would detect, monitor and control LPG gas leakages for domestic gas cylinders. A MQ-2 gas sensor was used for the detection of LPG gas leakages, the monitoring aspect was satisfied locally through notifications triggered by LEDs, piezo buzzer and remotely through the use of an application known as Blynk. The control aspect was implemented with the use of a stepper motor which turns off gas cylinder regulators whenever gas concentrations are high. All operations are primary hinged on the NodeMCU ESP8266 controller and Wi-Fi communication technology. </span>

Abstract Background Cylinder blasts can inflict multi-system life-threatening injuries to one or many persons simultaneously if they are nearby. The explosion in high-pressure equipment produces injuries due to its varied effects. Cases have been reported where the blast occurred in balloon gas cylinder, oxyacetylene gas cylinder, oxygen cylinder, coffee machine, and compressor of a split air conditioner (AC). Most of the cases are accidental. The investigation into the blast circumstances is of utmost importance to find out the manner and device involved. Case presentation Here, we present a report of two cases where victims suffered blast injuries at the same location due to the explosion of two different capacity liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) domestic cylinder and died on the spot. Conclusion The investigation into the blast circumstances is of utmost importance to find out the manner and device involved. Malpractice involving use of cylinder to fill another one might be dangerous for the person involved and present in the vicinity. This practice should be discouraged by lay person.

Introduction: The release of storage tanks' contents can lead to consequences such as BLEVE, explosions, fires, etc. Therefore, identifying the causes of content release, determining the scenarios, consequences, and possibility of incidents are required to prevent possible accidents. Moreover, the vulnerability and safety ranges should be determined to minimize the losses. Methods: In this research, the Bowtie method was used to evaluate the risk caused by the pressurized reservoirs. After identifying the risks of process hazards and determining the main, middle, and base events, the fault tree was mapped. Then, the events probability was calculated. In the next step, the event tree was designed to determine different scenarios of events and identify the consequences of each incident. Later, the probability of consequences was calculated. The Bowtie diagram was designed in the next step. Finally, the vulnerability zone was determined for each of the consequences using the PHAST software. Results: Considering the Bowtie's analysis, a total of 27 events including 21 base events, six mid events were determined. Furthermore, 15 minimal counts along with their event probabilities and importance were identified. In this regard, nine outcomes and scenarios were determined along with their probabilities. The widest human vulnerability zone was related to cloud and steam explosions. Conclusion: Leakage from the reservoir and connections, overflow, and PRVs are among the important defects of liquefied petroleum gas reservoirs. Considering the high probability of consequences and in order to prevent from the severity and damages of accidents, systems such as cooling system and fire stop system are required in the unit.

Since the end of the 20th century, nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been considered as one of the greatest achievements in the field of material science. Nowadays, further research on CNTs is still being conducted to unfold the full potential of this material. Generally, CNTs production methods have been extensively studied, specifically on CNTs synthesis route via liquefied hydrocarbon gas in the presence of a catalyst. From the synthesized material, further investigation including characterization and investigation of this nano size system’s effects on the physics, chemical, mechanical rules applied to macroscopic (bulk materials) and microscopic systems (atoms, molecules). In this present work, we demonstrated the research results of the synthesis of nano-carbon materials from a liquefied hydrocarbon gas (Liquefied Petroleum Gas: LPG) and its application to red phenol absorption in the liquid phase. CNTs used in this study were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method with Fe /ℽ-Al2O3 as the catalyst. The research results demonstrated that CNTs synthesized from LPG in this work were reported to be multi-walled tubes (MWCNTs: Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes) with physical characteristics including average internal and external diameters were of 6 nm and 17 nm, respectively. The measured specific surface suggested by BET data was 200 m2/g. The experimental study of red phenol adsorption by MWCNTs showed that the adsorption process followed both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm adsorption models with the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 47.2 mg/g. The research results again showed that it was possible to synthesize MWCNTs from hydrocarbon gas sources via the CVD method by utilizing catalysts. Additionally, red phenol absorption via such material had shown to follow both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm model, which allow further characterization of this material using Raman, EDX, SEM, TEM, BET, in order to extend the library database on the characterization of the reported synthesized material.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the correlations among per capita gross domestic product (GDP), household fuel (natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas) consumption, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) at the regional and national level in China using data from 2003 to 2015. The results validate the EKC assumption and show that per capita GDP is positively related to CO2 emissions; per capita natural gas consumption has a negative impact on CO2 emissions; however, per capita liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) consumption has a positive effect on CO2 emissions. Therefore, increasing natural gas consumption can effectively slow down the environmental degradation of China. Given rapid economic growth, changing the energy structure can improve the environment.
