Industrial LPG Cylinders

They are painted differently (often blue or red with specific industrial markings) to distinguish them from domestic supplies. Because industrial machinery and commercial cookers require a higher flow rate of gas, these cylinders are built to deliver energy faster and more consistently than household bottles.

Features of Industrial LPG Cylinder

The main features of an industrial LPG cylinder are given below: 

1. Industrial LPG cylinders store larger quantities of gas.
2. Blending of propane and butane is done separately for this category of cylinders.
3. Typically, these cylinders weigh between 20 to 50 kgs.

Key Benefits of Industrial LPG

Some of the key benefits of Industrial LPG are mentioned below

1. High Calorific Value: It produces a lot of heat very quickly, making it efficient for melting, heating, and large-scale cooking.

1. Clean Burning: LPG produces fewer carbon emissions compared to diesel, coal, or oil. This helps factories and hotels reduce their carbon footprint.

1. Portability: Even in areas without a piped gas connection, industrial cylinders can be transported and installed easily.

1. Controllability: The flame temperature can be controlled precisely, which is vital for industries like glass blowing or precision metal cutting.

Indane XTRATEJ – Know More

IndianOil has introduced Indane XTRATEJ, an LPG that has a variety of uses for industrial and commercial purposes. It is improved using additives created at IndianOil's R&D Center using cutting-edge nanotechnology.

Indane XTRATEJ is not suited for domestic use. During the field study, Indane XTRATEJ was examined in laboratories and validated at client locations.

Benefits of Indane XTRATEJ

The benefits of the Indane XTRATEJ are mentioned below

1. A minimum of 5% saving in LPG consumption was noted at various customer locations.

1. The flame temperature increased by a minimum of 65 degrees Celsius at a few customer sites.

1. During pressure cooking, the cooking time was reduced by at least 14%. 

Difference Between Industrial LPG Cylinder and Domestic LPG Cylinder

LPG is a combination of commercial butane and propane that contains both unsaturated and saturated hydrocarbons. The primary difference between a domestic LPG cylinder and an industrial LPG cylinder is the quantity and consumption rate. 

Industrial customers are thus given larger containers with a higher rate of usage for two reasons: Firstly, domestic-sized cylinders will be exhausted too quickly. The second reason is the rate of vapourisation. 

Uses of Industrial LPG Cylinders

Hospitality and Catering

Hotels, restaurants, canteens, and sweet shops use 19 kg or larger cylinders for

1. Commercial ovens and tandoors.

1. Large-scale frying and boiling.

1. Central heating in hotels.

Manufacturing and Engineering

1. Metal Cutting and Welding: LPG provides the intense heat needed to cut through metal or weld parts together.

1. Powder Coating: Ovens used to bake paint onto metal surfaces often run on LPG.

1. Glass and Ceramic Industry: The clean flame prevents soot from damaging delicate glass or ceramic products during the melting process.

Textile and Paper Industries

LPG is used to generate steam and dry fabrics or paper quickly and evenly. Direct heat from LPG is preferred because it does not leave a smell or residue on the material.

Automotive and Warehousing

Forklifts: Many industrial forklifts run on LPG because it provides consistent power and is safe to use indoors (unlike diesel, which produces heavy fumes).
