Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a Propane / Butane mixture liquefied under normal ambient temperature and moderate pressures. It is a safe, clean burning, reliable, high calorific value fuel. The detailed design of filling plants, and the associated cylinder filling equipment, should be undertaken by an appropriate supplier based on the required performance specification. The basic operations undertaken in the filling plant and maintenance areas e.g. cylinder inspection, cylinder filling, leak testing, checks to ensure no overfilling, cylinder evacuation and vapor recovery, re-valving, cylinder requalification, maintenance and repair of cylinders, grit blasting, painting, etc.
Application of LPG in the industrial sector is also increasing, owing to growing use of LPG as a feedstock in petrochemical plants in the country. Moreover, rising demand from transport segment and increasing consumption of LPG to produce various chemical components such as propylene, ethylene, butadiene, etc., is further anticipated to boost demand for LPG in the country in the coming years. The mini-filling plant concept makes LPG easily accessible in many parts of the country. Approximately 65% of the LPG demand is located in countries. This facilitates the development of new technologies and ensures a high quality product.
