Aboveground LPG tanks - for whom?
Aboveground liquefied gas tanks are dedicated, among others, for:
- distribution of fuels and autogas (LPG),
- industrial gas installations, used, inter alia, in in the metal, automotive, construction, metallurgy and other manufacturing industries (LPG),
- heating installations in residential and public buildings (LPG),
- entities involved in the production of household chemicals, aerosol cosmetic products and products for construction, such as assembly foams, varnishes and spray paints (DME and LPG).
Regulations specifying the distance between the installation of liquefied gas tanks and buildings, roads, fences and other infrastructure elements mean that they are most often used on plots with larger areas. The advantage of aboveground LPG tanks is that they can also be used in areas with e.g. high groundwater levels. These types of LPG or DME tanks are located on a foundation slab protruding above the ground surface. They can appear individually, as well as in an element of a larger tank park (fuel base).

Aboveground LPG tanks for commercial and industrial needs
We offer aboveground LPG tanks for commercial and industrial needs, e.g. for entrepreneurs dealing in the distribution of gas as a fuel for transport, as well as for the needs of heating installations serving industrial and service facilities (e.g. heating of production and storage halls, production of technological heat) and gas networks supplied from tanks. Our aboveground LPG tanks are used by entrepreneurs with a high demand for energy, necessary for heating and conducting technological processes. We provide tanks for storing liquefied gas used in industrial processing and agriculture.
Aboveground tanks for LPG / DME – reliable construction
The capacity of aboveground LPG tanks can be up to 120,000 litres. Therefore, they allow for the storage of liquefied gas on a large scale. Their dimensions and capacity include the demand for energy used by the customer. Aboveground LPG storage tanks are designed in accordance with safety standards and legal regulations. Their design is adapted to the type of gas stored inside. These are horizontal, single-chamber, single-wall tanks. We guarantee the highest quality and durability to operate the tank in a safe and efficient manner, with minimal risk to people and the environment.
