What no one tells you before setting up an LPG plant

Here are 3 questions that can help you choose the right tank:

✔ How important is it to reduce installation times? 

✔ Do you want to minimize field integration and assembly work? 

✔ Are you looking for a solution that is ready to operate from day one?

If you answered «yes» to two or more questions, a skid-mounted tank is likely the best alternative for your project.

«Here’s what you need to know»: 

1. Shorter installation time:

Time is one of the most valuable resources in any project. Reducing installation days means getting your plant operational faster and capitalizing on your investment sooner.

Designed to facilitate installation and prompt operation.

No special foundation required.

They can be relocated as needed based on your plant’s operational requirements.

They allow for start-up within a matter of hours after delivery.

2. Compliance with Mexican Regulations:

Its modular design allows for faster installation and, when a project needs change, it makes relocating the equipment or expanding the plant easier with minimal impact on operations.

4. Why is paint/coating important?

Not every LPG plant operates under the same conditions. Constant exposure to humidity, salt air, industrial environments, or solar radiation can accelerate wear without adequate protection.
