Calor can supply multiple tanks in a range of sizes to suit the requirements of the development. These tanks can either be above ground or underground. The above ground tanks can be white, or 'sage green', to help them blend into their surroundings, and underground tanks are suitable where the location of the development requires the tanks to be hidden completely. Your local Calor area sales specialist will be able to provide more information on the different tank types and sizes available and advise on the specific requirements for the development.

LPG Storage Compound
 Where the general public have uncontrolled access to the tank storage area, it is a requirement to provide a compound around the tanks (where the tanks are above ground) or a demarcated area (where the tanks are beneath the ground). Compounds are constructed using industrial type mesh or palisade fencing at least 1.8m high and should have at least two means of exit. Demarcated areas must prevent vehicular access, with the perimeter of the area typically marked by low fencing or chain secured to posts. Your Calor Project Manager will provide you with detailed information. Compounds and demarcated areas must be erected and secured prior to the first delivery of gas.
Calor may require legal control over the area where the storage tanks are located. Your local Calor area sales specialist will provide you with guidance.
Central Storage Design
Calor has researched and developed a CAD system that is totally flexible allowing us to import plans for planning applications and additional build phases that analyses annual consumption, sizes of storage vessels, sizes of distribution pipe work and cut off valves for each building. In addition the system can calculate input volumes or mass flow rate, select tank, select tank type number and temperature and pressure values. Furthermore the system is Gas Works 7 compatible, which means it can be used for both domestic and commercial installations.
Designed 'Network Systems' Model
The model analyses new developments & extensions to existing developments. It calculates predicted annual consumption (based on degree days) as well as sizing storage vessels (offtake & frequency of delivery), sizing distribution pipework and looks at the schedule of rates & materials costs to determine project cost.
