Can you please elaborate your inquiry? LNG is liquified Natural Gas. Liquifaction is for transportation purpose only. So LNG is basically C1, C2 with small amount of C3. So are you asking to separate C3 i.e. propane from LNG (just like LPG recovery from rich natural gas) or you are asking about chemical conversion of methan or ethane (main components of LNG) into propane (i.e. alkylation process).
