LPG Mounded Storage Plant Installation :

Nowadays the storage of dangerous gases becomes a challenging problem. Use of mounded bullets is one of the feasible solution to the problem. The design aspects of mounded storage vessels are more complicated than conventional above ground spheres or bullets.

Mounded bullets are horizontal pressure vessels which are intended for the pressurized storage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) under ambient temperature. In mounded storage facility, a mound of earth or suitable inert material is provided to cover the bullet, this is kept above ground.

Mounded bullet installation is more space efficient than spheres. This is because of the smaller vessel-to-vessel spacing and due to the smaller safety distance requirement between the mounded storage vessels and items such as control rooms, buildings, roads etc. Mounded bullets offer the possibility of partial or total off-site construction. Mounded bullets are installed on sand bed foundations which allow the load to be transferred uniformly to the underlying sand.

Features:

LPG Mounded Storage Tanks / Bullets / Vessels are completely covered with Soil and Only Manhole / Dome and other nozzles protrude outside.
The Scenario of BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) is eliminated, since no fire possible below the tanks.
Difficult for external agencies to identify the mound as a storage facility.
Reduced fire case PSV loads as compared to above ground storage tanks and spheres.
Fire water requirement for mounded storages is less.
Vessels have slop of 1:200 minimum for drainage purpose.
Mound cover protects the vessels against, heat radiation from nearby fire, pressure wave originating from an explosion, impact by flying objects, sabotage etc.
Site area required less compared to above ground storage due to less stringent inter spacing requirement.

LPG Above Ground Storage Plant Installation :

The safety distances as per norms are more than Mounded and Underground storage tank installation. This is because of the smaller vessel-to-vessel spacing and due to the smaller safety distance requirement between the mounded storage vessels and items such as control rooms, buildings, roads etc. Above ground storage tanks offer the possibility of partial or total off-site construction, depends on size of the tanks.

Features:

Above ground storage installation cost is very less than mounded and underground.
Painting, Visual inspection and preventive maintenance are very easy.
Project installation time period is very faster.

LPG storage tanks are equipped with following basic equipment’s:
Pressure Gauge
Temperature Gauge
Rochester Gauge
Rotogauge
Safety Relief Valve
Ball Valve
Auto Shut-Off valve
Excess Flow Check Valve

LPG Under Ground Storage Plant Installation:

Under Ground LPG Storage Tanks are horizontal pressure vessels which are intended for the pressurized storage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) under ambient temperature. In underground storage facility, tanks are buried in concrete pit and covered with sand or suitable inert material is provided to cover the bullet, which is kept under ground.




Underground bullet installation is more space efficient than spheres. This is because of the smaller vessel-to-vessel spacing and due to the smaller safety distance requirement between the mounded storage vessels and items such as control rooms, buildings, roads etc. Mounded bullets offer the possibility of partial or total off-site construction. Mounded bullets are installed on sand bed foundations which allow the load to be transferred uniformly to the underlying sand.

LPG Cylinder filling Plant Installation :

LPG Cylinder filling plant is also known as LPG bottling plant. It can be installed in very small scale like in skid mode / form and also with very huge capacity of bulk storage.
Capacity of the storage and machinery is depends on the Cylinder filling demand.

Cylinder filling Skid can be design and manufacture form 1 scale to 8 scales according to the requirements. Main point of this type of system is to locate all equipments on a skid system and it could be tailor made regarding to the countries’ regulations and work environment.

What are the Equipment of LPG cylinder filling plants?

LPG Electronic Scale with multiple Filling Heads up to + 50 kg
LPG Mechanical Scale with multiple Filling Heads up to + 50 kg
LPG Cylinder Filling Carousel

LOT / VOT Cylinder Manifold Installation :

Liquid off Take System (LOT) / Vapour off Take System (VOT)

​LPG LOT / VOT cylinder manifold installation system are Multi-cylinder Installation. In which LOT is advance concept of cylinder installation.

In LOT, it withdraws Liquid LPG from the cylinder and LPG is passed through the vaporizer to vaporized the liquid into vapour and the connected to properly designed 1st Stage & 2nd Stage Pressure Reducing Station.

In VOT, the Vaporized LPG is directly drawn from the cylinders with Natural Vaporization Process. This vaporized LPG is passed through the properly designed 1st Stage & 2nd Stage Pressure Reducing Station. This LPG VOT facility is normally recommended for Low utility consumption per hour of LPG. LPG off take per cylinder can go up to 10kg/hr which is comparatively much more than the normal Vapour off take cylinder of 0.6 kg/hr.

LPG LOT System can overcome lots of problems and demerits of bulk LPG Installation & conventional Manifold (VOT) system. This system is widely used in commercial & industrial applications only where high pressure is required & not for domestic purpose.

LOT system offers the efficiency of Bulk installation and easy functionality of cylinder manifold system. LOT systems are compact, safe & highly cost effective as liquid is completely drawn from the cylinder and there is no residual loss.
