Liquefied petroleum gases are propane and butane hydrocarbons and their mixtures either extracted as components of natural gas reserves or, as is the case in Greece, obtained by refining crude oil. LPG is suitable for any type of energy requirement and is a reliable, economical and environmentally friendly fuel.

LPG uses:
Manufacturing
In manufacturing of textiles, paper, construction materials, foods, etc.
Small industries and independent professionals
At hotels, restaurants, patisseries, bakeries, laundries, processing companies, etc.
Agriculture
At dairies, cotton ginning mills, tobacco-corn dryers, greenhouses, poultry farms, etc.
Auto Gas
In various types of vehicles
Home use
For central heating, hot water, cooking, energy-efficient fireplaces, heated pools and air conditioning.

To have an LPG tank installed, you need:

• A site with a minimum separation distance of 3 metres around the tank (in a total area of about 8 metres by 7 metres), far from ignition sources and in a well-ventilated space.
• There should be safe access and parking available for a tanker truck no more than 25 metres from the tank siting.

   

  Coral Gas offers a range of above-ground tanks with varying capacities. Above-ground tanks are easy to install and are the most affordable way to benefit from the advantages of bulk LPG use. When the tank site is determined, Coral Gas will assess the following factors:

  • Preparation of a flat, hard base
  • Safe separation distance around the tank
  • Access by the fuel delivery tanker
  • Protection against accidental damage
  • Water supply for cooling the tank

   

  The following table presents the dimensions for the most common above-ground LPG tanks.

  SIZE AND TYPE OF LPG TANK		TANK PROPANE CAPACITY		WT OF EMPTY TANK	TANK DIAMETER	TANK LENGTH
  lt.		lt.	kg	kg	m	m

  5000	CYLINDRICAL HORIZONTAL	4000	3240	1000	1.2	4.7

   

  Underground tanks

  If you would prefer to maintain the aesthetics of your garden without sacrificing space, Coral Gas offers you the option of an underground tank. Once an underground tank is installed, you can plant grass or plants on the surface soil so that only the markers and a small cover (covering the tank’s valve assembly) are visible to indicate its location.

  A cathodic protection system protects the tank from corrosion. Additionally, the effectiveness of this protection can be checked with a minimum effort, without requiring any intervention to the tank or causing damage to the garden.

   

  The following table presents the dimensions for the most common underground LPG tanks

  lt		lt	kg	kg	m	m
