Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the difference between pressurized and refrigerated LPG storage?
A: Pressurized storage keeps LPG liquid under pressure at ambient temperature, while refrigerated storage keeps LPG liquid at atmospheric pressure through refrigeration.

Q: What safety systems are required for LPG storage tanks?
A: Required safety systems include pressure relief valves, emergency shutdown valves, fire protection systems, gas detection, and emergency venting systems.

Q: How do you prevent LPG leaks?
A: We use high-quality materials, proper welding procedures, comprehensive testing, continuous gas detection, and regular inspection programs to prevent and detect leaks.

Q: What sizes are available for LPG storage tanks?
A: Our LPG storage tanks range from small residential tanks (100–500 gallons) to large industrial tanks (100,000+ gallons), with custom sizes available.

Q: How often do LPG tanks need inspection?
A: LPG tanks require annual external inspections and comprehensive internal inspections every 5–10 years depending on service conditions and regulations.
