LPG Bulk Installations
LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) bulk installations are facilities where large amounts of LPG are stored in tanks and then distributed through pipelines or tank trucks to consumers such as households, businesses, and industries.
These installations require specialized equipment and safety measures to ensure that the LPG is stored and distributed safely. The tanks used for storing LPG are typically made of steel or concrete and are designed to withstand high pressures.
Some safety measures include:
- Installing safety valves to prevent overpressure
- Providing ventilation to prevent gas buildup
- Regular inspections and maintenance of tanks and pipelines
- Using flame-resistant materials and explosion-proof electrical equipment in areas where LPG is stored or transferred
- Maintaining appropriate distances from sources of ignition, such as electrical equipment and open flames.
