Industrial Gas in the Tablelands

Industrial LPG is a powerful and flexible energy source used in manufacturing, agriculture, construction and logistics. It powers equipment such as boilers, kilns, ovens, dryers, and generators. In agriculture, it’s used for crop drying, water heating and pest control. Many warehouses and factories use LPG to fuel forklifts and heating systems. It’s ideal for operations needing clean combustion, high energy output and portability. LPG burns efficiently and leaves minimal residue, which helps reduce equipment wear and emissions. It’s especially useful for industries located in remote areas where natural gas connections are unavailable, offering scalable supply options and reliable performance.

LPG offers several advantages over diesel, petrol and other solid fuels. It burns cleaner, producing fewer emissions and less residue, which can improve air quality and reduce maintenance on machinery. It’s also highly efficient, delivering strong thermal output per unit, making it cost-effective for high-energy processes. LPG systems can be installed relatively quickly and are scalable to suit small workshops or large industrial facilities. Because it’s stored on-site, LPG provides independence from the grid and is ideal for remote or temporary locations. With reliable supply and fewer environmental risks, many industries now choose LPG for both performance and sustainability.

Yes, when handled properly, industrial LPG is very safe. It’s stored in pressurised cylinders or tanks fitted with safety valves and regulators. Cylinders should be stored upright in well-ventilated areas away from heat and ignition sources. All equipment and piping should be installed and serviced by licensed professionals. Onsite personnel should be trained in handling procedures, emergency shut-off protocols and leak detection. LPG is odourised to help detect leaks early. Regular inspections and adherence to safety regulations ensure continued safe use. Like all fuels, risks exist, but when managed properly, LPG is a reliable and safe industrial energy solution.
