Consistent LPG Pressure for Industrial Applications

Fluctuations can disrupt processes, damage equipment while impacting productivity, and even pose safety concerns. 

Running a manufacturing unit or a processing facility; you can achieve reliable LPG pressure even in high demand industrial applications with the right practices and knowledge. 

But first, why do industries face challenges like inconsistent LPG pressure?

1. High consumption rates: Rapid consumption can strain the system, especially during peak production times. When multiple systems draw fuel simultaneously, pressure drops can occur.
2. Improper or complex manifold configuration: Extensive and complex piping networks are often required to deliver LPG to multiple use points. This increases the potential for pressure drops due to friction, long pipe runs, and multiple bends.
3. Varying Demand: Fluctuations in production levels and the simultaneous use of multiple LPG-powered equipment can lead to sudden changes in demand, making it difficult to maintain consistent pressure.
4. Undersized distribution systems: Using undersized or inefficient pipes, regulators, and valves that weren't designed for high-volume applications create bottlenecks and pressure drops.
5. Storage and Supply Issues: Insufficient storage capacity or unreliable LPG deliveries can lead to pressure drops when the tank level is low or during periods of high demand.

The above are just a few reasons why industries with high LPG consumption face issues with pressure; there could be other reasons, like lack of proper monitoring or control, maintenance issues, or temperature variations. 

How to overcome these issues to maintain consistent LPG pressure?

• Accurate Demand Assessment: Conduct a thorough analysis of your industrial LPG needs, considering peak demand, simultaneous equipment usage, and future expansion plans. This will help you determine the appropriate storage tank size, regulator capacity, and piping diameter.

Consult the experts to understand your requirements better and explore solutions to avoid frequent refills.

• Optimise Equipment and Infrastructure: Invest in industrial-grade pressure regulators designed for your specific flow rate and pressure requirements. Design a piping system that minimizes pressure drop by using appropriately sized pipes, avoiding sharp bends, and reducing long pipe runs.

A well-designed manifold system is crucial to distributing LPG evenly and maintaining consistent pressure across multiple points of use.

"You need the highest standards of technical expertise, like SUPERGAS, to ensure the best condition of your equipment and installation system."

• Address Supply and Storage needs: Ensure your LPG storage tank is adequately sized to meet your peak demand and provide a buffer against supply disruptions. Implement an inventory management system to track LPG levels and schedule refills proactively, avoiding low-level situations that can lead to pressure drops.

Choose a reputable industrial LPG supplier that guarantees consistent supply and timely deliveries.

• Implement Effective Monitoring and Control: Analyse pressure data to identify trends, patterns, and potential problems. This can help you optimize your system and prevent future issues. Consider implementing automated monitoring systems that can provide real-time pressure data and alert you to deviations from the desired range.

Comprehensive solutions like a CGM System, EACD+, Mass flow meter, and others, along with LPG solutions, will help you stay on track.
