Is there a chemical to enchace Calorific Value of LPG
(OP)
Hi All
Is there any chemical that will improve/increase the calorific value of LPG (P70:B30), which will enhance the vaporization rate and will produce complete and clean burning of fuel? Also is there any equipment (not software) to measure the calorific value of LPG and where is that facility located?

The second sounds like a test lab to ne. Look them up in your locality.

I am not really sure how this chemical can "enhance the vaporization rate and will produce complete and clean burning of fuel", unless it is compared to burning coal or wood. It is like saying "adding Diesel to LPG will improve/enhance vaporization of LPG". A salesman pitch.
If we knew what the application was, we might be able to deduce further.

You will be still surprised that there are 4 more product lines that this company is trying to sell saying as Fork Lift gas additive, Heating Additive, Diesel Enhancer . I seriously don't understand how they sell these.

Run a simulation on this mix and see how much preheat is required, and what utility may be required toenable this.
Also check if you have sufficient combustion air at the burner.

Cutting torches use oxyacetylene to generate high temperatures.

Calorific values for the gas mix you have now can be calculated by hand - sum up the weight fraction biased LHV for each of C3 and C4 to get the total kJ/kg. But if your mix is a liquid at the torch nozzle, subtract the latent heat of vaporisation from this total.
Providing external preheat for vaporisation of this C3/ C4 liquid mix will increase flame temps.
