Abu Dhabi launches vertical LPG tank system for food establishments
The new system is a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional gas cylinders. With a capacity of up to 125 gallons, the vertical tank is equipped with a gas evaporator which meets the highest safety standards, besides, it is refilled on-site by licensed operators, eliminating the need for cylinder storage or handling.
The system is said to significantly reduces the risk of leaks and accidents while streamlining operational processes, making it an ideal choice for establishments seeking a safer and more sustainable working environment. The DoE issued Technical Bulletin No. (1/2025) to outline the technical requirements, safety standards, and regulatory conditions for the installation and operation of these tanks. The guidelines align with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards and the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code.
Engineer Ahmed Al Sheibani, Executive Director of the Regulatory Affairs Sector for Petroleum Products, emphasised that this initiative reflects the department's commitment to protecting individuals and property while fostering a safe and sustainable operational environment for the food sector. He highlighted that developing safer systems is a pivotal step toward achieving sustainability and public safety goals.
DoE has called on all food establishments, particularly those in areas without underground gas networks or centralized gas systems, to adopt this modern system, which offers a comprehensive and safe solution that meets current and future regulatory requirements, enhances operational safety, and reduces long-term operational costs.
