3.4 Project Description

There will be no chemical process involved and the operation carried out will be

receipt of POL Products & LPG in bulk and will be distributed to customers of

surrounding districts.

POL Products:

POL products will be received through underground branch pipeline from BKPL,

Patna to Motihari through Patna- Motihari- Baitalpur Pipeline (PMBPL). The

products will be dispatched through TTs as well as through pipeline also.

LPG Bottling Plant:

LPG in Bulk form in road tankers, storage in mounded bullets and filling of LPG

into cylinders using carousel and associated systems. The cylinders filled will be

checked for quality and then dispatched by Cylinder stake Trucks.

The process involved can be divided into 4 Stages:

Receipt of finished LPG products through bullet trucks.

Storage of LPG products in storage tanks as per OISD norms. Packaging of the LPG into cylinders.

Dispatch of LPG products through Stake Trucks

LPG BULK STORAGE

It is now proposed to construct 3 No’s 1200MT capacity Mounded Storage Vessel

which will be constructed/fabricated to the stringent Oil Industry Safety

Directorate’s OISD norms and BS standards. There will be only one LPG liquid

nozzle through which LPG shall be received and discharged from each bullet.
