LPG Bottling Plant
Our group has been in LPG bottling since 1995. M K Gastech Private Limited, incorporated in 2005, runs two units in Palakkad district, both built to OISD-STD-169A, holding 215 MT of LPG storage between them.
Ten stages, in this order. Three of them can send a cylinder back into the line instead of forward, and those return paths are marked below.
Empty cylinders come off the incoming trucks and onto the line.
Every cylinder is washed and dried before it goes any further.
Cylinders are purged where it is needed, to clear what is left inside before filling.
Cylinders are filled on the carousel filling system.
Each filled cylinder is weighed on the check scale.
Off weight → correction unit → corrected → weighed again
The cylinder passes through the valve leak detection system.
Rejected → valve changed on the valve-changing machine, without evacuating the cylinder → weight check → back into the line
Cylinders that clear the valve check then pass through the O-ring leak detection system.
Leak found → O-ring changed → back into the line
Cylinders go through the test bath, where the body and the remaining joints are checked for leaks.
Cylinders that have cleared every check go to the sealing machine.
Sealed cylinders are loaded onto the trucks for delivery.
Cylinders we handle
The line takes all standard LPG cylinder sizes, from domestic through to 450 kg jumbo cylinders.
Both are built to OISD-STD-169A, the Oil Industry Safety Directorate standard for LPG bottling plants. Unit 2, our newest, runs entirely on solar power.
