LPG usage
Flexibility of supply makes LPG very easy to use in many circumstances
80% of LPG is supplied either in cylinders or tanks, including traditional small to large bulk tanks for individual or industrial consumers, automotive tanks for the ’autogas’ market, and more recently, large bulk tanks ensuring supply to piped networks (town gas). Cylinders and tanks are of various capacities, ranging from 2 to 100 kg for cylinders, and from 200 kg to 25 tonnes for tanks.
Petrochemical plants use the remaining 20% of LPG worldwide.
Consider this:
Only LP Gas can serve such a wide variety of uses as cooking fuel for the family in Spain and the community kitchen in India, refrigeration for the shop owner in Brazil, Autogas for taxis in Philippines, welding for the car manufacturers in Germany, heat for the family home in Hungary, heat to provide lift for the first solo non-stop round the world balloon trip, hair spray for the Hollywood stars and life savings for Mount Everest climbers. Even the Olympic torch is LP Gas powered. That is why it is sometimes referred to as the world’s most multi-purpose fuel.
