Industrial Bulk and Microbulk Gases

Bulk gas refers to the delivery and storage of large quantities of liquefied gases in on-site tanks, ranging from 13,000 gallons (49,210 liters) for high-volume users to 1,500 gallons (5678 liters) for businesses with moderate gas consumption. These gases are stored in large, cryogenic tanks and used in industries requiring continuous, high-volume gas usage. 

Benefits of using bulk gas systems include:

• Uninterrupted supply: Bulk systems provide a continuous gas flow, keeping your operations running smoothly.
• Cost savings: Bulk gas purchases generally translate to lower gas costs per unit than traditional cylinders.
• Reduced labor: Eliminates the need for frequent cylinder changes and associated labor costs.
• Enhanced safety: Bulk gas supply minimizes the risks of handling high-pressure cylinders.

Microbulk gas supply provides an intermediate solution between traditional gas cylinders and bulk gas storage. They are smaller versions of bulk tanks, typically ranging from 132 to 1,320 gallons (500 to 5,000 liters). 

Advantages of microbulk gas systems include: 

• Cost-effective: While not as economical as bulk gas, microbulk offers significant cost savings compared to cylinders.
• Improved safety: Lower operating pressures compared to cylinders minimize safety risks.
• Space saving: Microbulk tanks use less floor space than storing numerous gas cylinders.
