LPG in bulks

Here are a few tips for safely using LPG in gas storage tanks, as well as some important facts about the gas.

LPG is flammable and there is a risk of fire and explosion. That’s why the installation of the gas chamber and the installation should be entrusted to professionally qualified contractors. It is also important that the gas appliance (heating furnace, hot water boiler, cooker) is installed and tested by an approved service.

You can start using the gas storage tank and the installation only after an acceptance inspection has been carried out by an authorised inspection body.

To ensure safe use, you must have your gas installation inspected annually by a qualified contractor and periodic inspections of the pressure equipment performed at the prescribed intervals.

Use the gas station for its intended purpose and keep it tidy and clean.

We ensure the uninterrupted supply of LPG to your gas storage facilities or the smooth operation of your LPG network.

• Introductory inspection
  The introductory inspection of the gas storage tank is carried out by the periodic inspection body as part of the process of putting new equipment under pressure into use and taking it over for inspection. After the inspection, it draws up a catalogue of measures and sets up a programme of periodic inspections.
• Regular external inspection – every 2 years.
  This inspection, carried out by the inspection body at the facility, determines the state of use, inspects the safety and other equipment of the gas storage tank and the state of the place of its installation.
• Regular internal inspection – every 5 years.
  This inspection checks the condition of the gas storage tank interior: condition of welded joints, jacket, reinforcements, etc. If an internal inspection is not feasible, an external inspection, strength test and sheet thickness measurements may be carried out instead.
• Regular pressure test – every 10 years
  A regular pressure test shall be carried out every 10 years, or until the end of the 10th year after the first pressure test or the last internal inspection.
  A successful completion of the regular inspection is a prerequisite for continued use of the gas storage tank.
• “Older gas” storage tanks
  Gas storage tanks manufactured before the current regulations on inspection and testing of pressurized equipment came into force must be inspected according to the schedule specified when the operating license was issued. This schedule is usually shorter than the schedule required for newer tanks.
