The Three Major Factors Influencing your LPG Installation Choice!

Dec 13,2019

In Industries and commercial establishments, LPG is the most preferred fuel because of it’s multiple benefits. However, we are not going to talk about LPG in this blog. We are going to talk about yet another important aspect in the whole gamut of the LPG fuel system - LPG Installations.

What are the parameters that needs to be considered before finalizing the installation type? These are all the usual questions popping up in everybody’s mind. Let us brief you on the various types of LPG installation:

33Kg Vapour Off Take (VOT) Installation
33Kg Liquid Off Take (LOT) Installation and it’s variants
450 Kg MAXIMA cylinder Installation and it’s variants (hyperlink)
Bulk LPG bullet installation

The above installations are offered based on three major parameters.

Parameter No.1: Fuel Consumption

The fuel consumption depends on the application, type of processes, fuel flow rate and the requisite temperature requirement, batch process etc. If the application does not require high pressure pumping of LPG, VOT installation can be considered. The vapourisation happens due to natural vapourisation in VOT cylinders. In LOT cylinders the vapourisation is forced by an external vapouriser, this is required where the application demands higher volume in a short time. That is how fuel consumption influences the LPG installation types.

Parameter No.2: Installation Land Size

Availability of land for installation also affects the type of installation people choose. LPG installation typically requires specific safety distances and other important spaces to be maintained in the installation premises. Hence, Installation Land size also matters. A key factor is the location of the installation because there are some parameters like no source of naked flame or culverts should not be there for some distance etc.

Parameter No. 3: Distance from the Plant

This is another important parameter, as distance from the plant will determine the frequency by which LPG supply happens. An installation with more capacity entails the frequency to be less thereby reducing the delivery lead-time. So manufacturing industries located at a distance can definitely utilize larger capacity installation and vice-versa.

Parameter	33 Kg VOT	33 Kg LOT	450Kg Maxima	Bulk Installation
Fuel Consumption	Low	High	High	Very High
Land Requirement	High	High	Low	Very High
PESO approvals	Not required	Not required	Not required	Required
Distance from Filling Plant	Less	Less	More	Does not matter

These three major parameters determine the installation capability. Would you like to know more? Do you have different opinions? We would love to give you more info and clarify your concerns. Drop us a query in the online enquiry form or call 9121177930.
