LPG Central Gas System Design
Central gas design starts at the appliances, not at the tank: we take off each appliance's consumption and duty, then set tank size and location, pressure reduction stages and pipe sizes, and define the scope of safety systems — leak detection and emergency shut-off. That order avoids both an oversized tank and an undersized network.
What the design covers
- Appliance take-off, consumption and diversity
- Tank capacity and type: above-ground or underground
- Tank location, safety distances and filling access
- Pressure reduction stages, regulator and filter positions
- Main and branch routing and pipe sizes
- Sub-metering where units or tenants are multiple
- Leak detection, emergency shut-off and ventilation scope
- Drawings, bills of quantities and material specification
Reference and approval
The design follows the requirements of the authorities concerned and the project's approved specification; distances, capacities and pressures are taken from that project's own approval.
Deliverables
- Tank and network drawing
- Consumption calculations and capacity selection
- Pressure reduction schematic
- Material specification and BOQ
- Safety system scope

Frequently asked questions
How is the right tank capacity determined?
From total appliance consumption, operating pattern, the desired refill frequency and available site area — never from a generic figure without those inputs.
Can an existing building be designed for?
Yes. The service starts with a site survey to establish a feasible tank location and available routing before the design is prepared.
Have a project or an existing facility that needs an engineering review?
