is in conjunction with Environmental Agency and the Fire Marshall Department.

Unless they approve the design the

operation is not approved by the ANP.

All equipment used in handling LPG, such as transfer pumps, compressors, pipework and fittings etc. must be designed
and approved for LPG service over the range of temperature and pressure likely to be experienced in the plant during
normal operations.

All cylinder filling machines, conveyors, instrumentation and other equipment used in the cylinder filling process must
be intrinsically weather proof so that additional protection is not required during the testing of the fire-fighting
system.

The cylinder filling platform must have good natural ventilation to disperse minor gas leaks and be protected from the
weather. Employees must also have protection when loading and unloading cylinders. The use of translucent tiles will
increase natural light and minimize energy consumption.

A flow diagram of a typical cylinder filling operation is shown in Figure 6.2.
