The BIMCO Liquid Cargo database is intended for use by for shore-side staff and to some extent for newcomers to the tanker trade and should only be used as a reference tool providing brief information regarding the more than 360 of the commonly transported liquid cargoes including Condensate. Trade name/synonym name: Condensate is a MARPOL Annex I cargo. Product name may be indicated in shipping documents as "Crude oil", "Naphtha's and condensates" or other relevant name depending on origin, according to MARPOL Annex I Appendix I. Sour condensate; Sweet condensate; Field condensate; Lease condensate; Gas drips; Casinghead gasoline; Natural gas condensate, C2-C8; Retrogate condensate; Natural gasoline; Petroleum crude oil condensate. Main Properties: Extremely flammable liquid and vapour. May contain or release poisonous hydrogen sulphide gas. Clear to straw, or dark brown coloured liquid. Pungent hydrocarbon odour. The natural gas condensate is also called condensate, or gas condensate, or sometimes natural gasoline because it contains hydrocarbons within the gasoline boiling range. Natural-gas condensate is a low-density mixture of hydrocarbon liquids that are present as gaseous components in the raw natural gas produced from many natural gas fields. Condensate consists mainly of light liquid hydrocarbons such as pentanes and heavier hydrocarbons recovered at associated and non-associated natural gas wells. Condensate will normally enter the crude oil stream after production, but it can also be shipped as a separate commodity. Some gas species within the raw natural gas will condense to a liquid state if the temperature is reduced to below the hydrocarbon dew point temperature at a set pressure. Therefore, the condensate is separated from the natural gas before the natural gas is further handled. Main chemical and physical properties: Flash point: Down to minus 50 deg. C, depending on grade Boiling Points: Points is typical in the range 20 - 200 deg. C (Initial boi
