LPG Filling Stations: Design, Applications & Specifications

LPG Filling Stations: Design, Applications & Specifications

Introduction

This document details the design and specifications of our pre-fabricated, modular Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) filling stations. These stations are engineered for robust performance and ease of deployment, offering a complete solution for LPG storage and dispensing.  Our systems are designed to be a reliable, safe, and efficient means to manage LPG distribution, catering to a wide range of applications.

System Structure

An LPG station is a sophisticated assembly comprising four core components:

1. LPG Storage Tanks: These robust, pressure-rated vessels are the heart of the system, designed for safe and reliable storage of LPG.

2. Base Structure: The foundation supporting the entire station, engineered for stability and durability.

3. LPG Dispenser:  A precision metering and dispensing unit that allows for the controlled transfer of LPG for refueling purposes.

4. Electronic Control Box (EX-rated): A weatherproof control center containing all necessary monitoring and safety systems, engineered with explosion-proof certifications.

The LPG handling section incorporates the storage tank, a piping manifold system, and two high-capacity pumps. One pump facilitates the unloading process, while the other is dedicated to filling operations. In the event of a system failure, these pumps are cross-functional, providing operational redundancy. All of these components are fully integrated and pre-assembled before dispatch, minimizing on-site installation time.

LPG Applications

LPG has firmly established itself as a versatile and vital energy source globally, employed across numerous sectors.  Its applications are diverse, including:

• Automotive Fueling: LPG powers vehicles and forklifts as a cost-effective and cleaner alternative fuel.

• Residential & Commercial Use: LPG serves as a primary heating and cooking fuel for homes and businesses, offering efficient and reliable energy.

• Industrial Applications: LPG is utilized as a process fuel in various industrial sectors.

• Agricultural Sectors: LPG powers machinery and irrigation systems in agricultural settings.

• Chemical Industry: LPG is used as a critical feedstock in chemical production processes, however, facing competition from both naphtha and emerging renewable energy technologies.
