LPG - Linguaggio Procedure Grafiche (Italian for "Graphical Procedures Language"). dott. Gabriele Selmi. Roughly a cross between Fortran and APL, with graphical-oriented extensions and several peculiarities. (liquefied petroleum gas liquefied petroleum gas or LPG, mixture of gases, chiefly propane and butane, produced commercially from petroleum and stored under pressure to keep it in a liquid state. ) and condensates used in fuel, chemical feedstocks, and other applications. The plant will have an output of 30,400 barrels a day (b/d) of condensate condensate, matter in the form of a gas of atoms, molecules, or elementary particles that have been so chilled that their motion is virtually halted and as a consequence they lose their separate identities and merge into a single entity. , 27,700 b/d of LPG and 665 million cubic feet a day of pipeline quality gas. Production from the plant is expected to begin in late 2003. ABB said the order reflects the strong position of its ABB Lummus Global unit in the upstream oil and gas processing market, and builds on the ABB Group's proven track record in Africa, where it is playing a key role in energy infrastructure development. This is the first major order of the third quarter in the Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals segment after the record 47-percent increase in orders reported yesterday for the first half of the year.
