Switching from natural gas to propane gas?

From the propane tank we install an underground off-take line to your home and or other buildings. Your installer will connect a pipe installed by us to your combustion equipment for this purpose. A notification for the placement of the tank at the relevant digital government office is an obligation. Our account manager will assist you with this if required.

NOTE: Your combustion equipment must first be made suitable for propane gas by your installer, usually this is a small thing but it must be done.
If you can meet the minimum requirements, we can visit you without any obligation and give you a customized advice including quotation. After approval of the quotation, OK GAS will deliver your tank and piping on short notice.

Why propane gas?

Propane gas is your clean and independent energy source

If you live in the outlying area, chances are you do not have direct access to the natural gas grid. This is often not easy to achieve in such places either. With propane gas, you can still enjoy the benefits that gas has to offer.

In this way, propane gas is a clean and economical source of energy that allows you to control the temperature in your home in a controlled and efficient manner.
Propane gas and the environment

What is propane gas?

Propane gas is the name recognized by the average Dutchman. However, the correct terminology is liquefied petroleum gas. The difference between natural gas and petroleum gas is the calorific value.

For example, the calorific value is about 90% higher than the calorific value of natural gas. This means that propane gets much hotter than natural gas and, as a result, consumption is significantly lower.
A propane tank can be connected to existing natural gas connections.

 

Both underground and above-ground tanks are available.

However, in some situations, propane gas can be an economical alternative, especially in locations where natural gas is not available.

How dangerous is propane gas?

First of all, Propane gas is highly flammable and, when in contact with oxygen, can form an explosive mixture. Hence, propane gas is stored at a safe distance from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources in propane tanks.

Although propane is not toxic by itself, high concentrations can be intoxicating or suffocating by displacing available oxygen. Direct contact with liquid propane can also cause frostbite.

Chance of propane leaks

Still, the chances of a propane tank leaking are minimal. The tank, gaskets and fuses should be inspected and/or replaced periodically. If a leak does somehow occur and the propane ignites, it can lead to a lake fire or, if not directly ignited, an explosive gas cloud. As a propane supplier, we ensure that our tanks and systems are properly maintained and inspected to minimize the risks.

To calculate how long you will do with 10 kg of propane gas, divide the total energy content (10 kg x 14.6 kWh/kg = 146 kWh) by the energy consumption of your equipment (in kWh). For example, if you have a stove that consumes 1.5 kWh, you could cook for about 97 hours with 10 kg of propane gas (146 kWh / 1.5 kWh).
