GAS CYLINDER STORAGE SIZING
PROJECT : UCSI

Gas Demand

1 Total Gas Consumption = 1,105,000.00 Btu/hr (a)

2 Coincident Factor / Loading Factor = 0.7 (b)

3 Demand Rate, (a) x (b) = 773500 Btu/hr (c)

Properties of LPG

1 Density of LPG; 30% Propane & 70% Butane = 0.5602 kg/l (d)

2 LPG energy rate = 47,281.30 Btu/kg (e)

For vapour withdrawal system (Without vaporiser)

assume 20% residue in 50kg cylinder, [50kg x 80% x (e)] = 1891252.00 Btu/cylinder (f)

For liquid withdrawal system (With vaporiser)

assume no residue in 50kg cylinder, [50kg x 100% x (e)] = 2364065.00 Btu/cylinder (g)

Assumption

1 Operation Hour per day = 6 hrs/day (h)

2 Interval of cylinder replacement = 5 days (I)

3 Therefore, for vapor withdrawal,

demand rate (c) x operation hr/day (h) x interval (I) = 12.27 cylinders (j)
energy rate (f)

4 Therefore, for liquid withdrawal,

demand rate (c) x operation hr/day (h) x interval (I) = 9.82 cylinders (j)
energy rate (g)

CONCLUSION:

THE CYLINDER REPLACEMENT FOR EVERY 5 day / days is 12 cylinders

for vapor withdrawal system
THE CYLINDER REPLACEMENT FOR EVERY 5 day / days is 10 cylinders
for liquid withdrawal system
