LPG or Liquified Petroleum gas is a by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining, it can be used as fuel for cooking, heating, and automotive applications.
LPG is transported in specialized vessels known as “bulker tanks" designed to store and transport LPG under pressure and in a liquid state.
LPG transporting equipment must be designed and maintained to keep LPG at the appropriate temperature during transport.
Safe handling practices require firstly a transport tank to be securely hooked to the filling line, and pressure to be equalized across with the storage tank. Afterwards, the pump pulls liquified gas from the bottom of the transport tank and delivers it through the bottom of the storage tank. As the storage tank gets filled, the accumulated vapor is passively transferred from the top of the storage tank to the top of the transport tank. The vapor recovery system serves two purposes: to remove any deteriorated LPG, and to assist the vacuum pump in removing LPG from the bottom of the transport tank.
In delivering more than 200 million liters of LPG per year, SERGAS takes pride in its assured and safe delivery, using its 21 certified LPG tanker trucks fleet, coupled with advanced tracking and monitoring system to ensure a continuous supply of LPG to all consumers.
