This setup is a complete, small-capacity skid-mounted station designed for the business of filling and selling liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) into domestic or commercial cylinders. It's a Chinese solution for entrepreneurs, cooperatives, or small-to-medium gas distributors.
This is a LPG Cylinder Filling and Dispensing Plant . Its core purpose is to safely receive, store, and dispense LPG into consumer cylinders (6kg, 12.5kg, or 45kg cylinders). The "5 Tonnes" (5,000 kg) tanker capacity refers to the filling capacity of the system, indicating it can theoretically fill up to 5 metric tons of gas into cylinders in the LPG tank under optimal conditions.
Key Components and Their Functions
1. 10,000-Liter LPG Storage Tank
Function: This is the bulk storage vessel that holds the LPG.
Construction: Made from high-quality carbon steel, designed and built to stringent pressure vessel standards (like ASME or equivalent). It is designed to safely hold LPG in its liquid state under pressure.
Safety Features:
Pressure Relief Valve: Automatically vents vapor to prevent over-pressurization.
Liquid Level Gauge: Shows how much LPG is in the tank.
Fixed Fire-Fighting Water Sprinklers: Often included to cool the tank in case of a nearby fire.
Capacity: 10,000 liters of LPG liquid. In weight, this is approximately 4.5 - 5.0 Tonnes (depending on the LPG mix and temperature).
2. LPG Dispenser (with Electronic Scales), or Filling weight Scales
Function: This is the "point of sale" and filling point. It is not a simple pump; it's an integrated system that controls the filling process.
Key Parts:
LPG Pump: A high-pressure, positive displacement pump (like a submerged centrifugal pump inside the tank or an external piston pump) that draws liquid LPG from the storage tank and sends it to the dispenser.
Electronic Mass Scale: The most critical part for accuracy. The cylinder is placed on the scale, which is tared to zero . The operator sets the desired fill weight (e.g., 12.5 kg). The dispenser automatically fills the cylinder and stops precisely when that weight is reached. This is far more accurate and safer than using a volume-based meter.
Hose & Nozzle: A specially designed, high-pressure hose with a quick-connect nozzle that securely attaches to the cylinder valve.
3. The "Skid-Mounted"
The entire system—storage tank, pump, dispenser, and all piping (manifold), valves, and safety systems—is pre-assembled onto a single steel frame or skid.
Advantages:
Quick Installation: Simply deliver the skid to the site, connect to a power source, and it's largely ready for operation.
Cost-Effective: Factory assembly is faster and ensures higher quality control.
Portability: The entire station can be relocated if necessary.
4. Safety and Control System
Emergency Shutdown System: A button or system to immediately stop all operations in an emergency.
Leak Detection Sensors: Gas detectors placed around the skid to alert operators of any LPG vapor leaks.
Fire Extinguishers: Mandatory portable fire extinguishers (dry powder type) are placed nearby.
Earthing / Grounding Points: To prevent static electricity buildup, which could be an ignition source.
5. Peripheral Components (May be included or required separately)
Civil Works: A concrete foundation/platform for the skid to sit on.
Fire Wall / Blast Wall: A protective wall built around the station to contain any potential fire or explosion.
Cylinder Handling Equipment: A conveyor or trolley system for moving heavy cylinders.
Cylinder Testing Station: Equipment for checking, purging, and leak-testing cylinders before and after filling.
Typical Workflow / Operation
Cylinder Check: Empty cylinders are checked for validity, damage, and their tare weight.
Connection: The cylinder is placed on the dispenser's scale and connected via the nozzle.
Filling: The operator inputs the target net gas weight. The pump starts, and liquid LPG is transferred into the cylinder.
Automatic Stop: The electronic scale signals the dispenser to stop the pump once the target weight is reached.
Disconnection & Sealing: The nozzle is disconnected, and a safety seal is placed on the cylinder valve.
Storage & Sale: The filled cylinder is moved to a secure storage area before being sold to a customer.
Target Market & Applications
LPG Distributors: For creating local filling and distribution hubs.
Cooking Gas Retail Businesses: Entrepreneurs looking to start a gas retail shop.
Industrial Plants & Hotels: For filling their own in-house cylinder banks.
Agricultural Cooperatives: For providing fuel for heating, drying, and cooking in rural areas.
This package represents a serious investment in a vital energy infrastructure business, designed for safety, accuracy, and commercial productivity
