Absolutely, here’s a breakdown of an LPG reticulation system, also known as a piped gas system:

What it is:

An LPG reticulation system is a modern way to deliver Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to homes and businesses. Unlike the standard method of individual propane tanks, a reticulated system uses a network of pipes to supply gas from a centralized location. This centralized location can be either a bulk storage tank or a bank of cylinders.

How it works:

• A network of pipes runs from the centralized LPG storage to individual users’ kitchens or appliances.
• Each user has a meter installed to measure their LPG consumption.
• In a cylinder bank system, there’s typically an active bank and a standby bank.
• The active bank supplies gas until it needs refilling, then the system automatically switches to the standby bank. This ensures an uninterrupted supply.
• Refilling the empty bank happens without affecting the gas flow to the users.

Benefits of an LPG reticulation system:

• Convenience: No more running out of LPG or having to grapple with heavy propane tanks.
• Safety: Bulk storage facilities and the piping network adhere to strict safety regulations.
• Reliability: Consistent gas supply without interruptions.
• Space-saving: Eliminates the need for storing individual LPG cylinders in your home or business.

Where you might see them:

LPG reticulation systems are commonly found in:

• Apartment buildings
• Residential estates
• Commercial buildings
• Industrial facilities
