TotalEnergies Gas LPG Safety - Storage and Supply 

LPG for domestic uses is provided in cylinders of varying sizes, whereas gas for industrial use is provided in bulk storage tanks which can be located above the ground or underground. The position of the tank, in this case, is very important because the tanker delivering gas must always be parked in a safe position. The storage tank needs to be set a distance away from the building, in an aerated place. Installations of these tanks should only be carried out by engineers approved by TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya PLC after which TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya will fill the tank with gas and then make arrangements for top-up deliveries.
