The original marketers issued cylinders to their appointed distributors and consumers but retained ownership, together with the sole right to refill and responsibility for safety and upkeep, including periodic testing and revalidation. This system began to break down when NNPC introduced cylinders of which the user (in many cases) became the owner and when new independent marketers and distributors entered the market. The objective of standardization of valves for easy interchangeability of cylinders encountered opposition and was dropped at a time of indifferent governance. In recent years, there has been some importation of used cylinders by traders. |

The apparent convenience of crossfilling has negative consequences for safety and "traceability." Free from accountability, the filler may underfill or accept a defective cylinder for refilling, thereby denying the customer value for money or putting him (and possibly others) at risk. |

The DPR Procedure and Requirements for the Grant of Approval to construct a liquefied petroleum gas plant includes “cylinder maintenance facilities” as a condition of initial licensing. Cylinder maintenance might include minor repairs such as valve replacement. Following its recent review of regulations, the DPR plans to specify cylinder-testing equipment in new license applications. Cylinder testing for requalification is a specialist procedure and technically more demanding than routine maintenance. |

Most LP Gas cylinders in service worldwide are made of steel and fitted with brass valves. In Nigeria, the most commonly used cylinder carries a 12.5 kg fill and the tare weight is in the range 14–17 kg, that is, up to 30 kg when full. The weight is a problem for anyone who needs to carry it. The steel is subject to impact damage and to external corrosion and the consumer cannot see the contents. The weight problem has been addressed in other countries by the use of stainless steel and aluminum to replace mild steel but there is a cost penalty. Smaller capacity cylinders have been introduced in many countries, including Nigeria, but while they are lighter they require more frequent refilling. |

Clearly, a growing LP Gas market will require additional cylinders. There are advances in cylinder technology, which will be explored. Irrespective of technology, funding will be required for new cylinders and to bring existing cylinders (where practical) to an acceptable standard. Neither the industry nor its customers can be expected to bear this burden without assistance. However, a project to produce composite cylinders at competitive prices in Nigeria would benefit from growing regional markets, in addition to growing domestic demand. |

OP, could you explain why gas cylinders don't have gauge, is it too expensive to build a cylinder with guage? This is essential to prevent sudden exhaustion of gas during cooking. Kudos to you. Can I have your email address? |
Re: not available by ncolumella(m): 8:59am On Jul 08, 2015 |
tafrica: yes it Is more expensive to have Gas cylinders with guage or regulators with gauge. customers are not so concerned about that partly due to the cost implications but a refiller can take up the burden to fix regulators or cylinders with gauge for his customers so that once the customers see his gas is low, he would call his gas supplier for a refill or cylinder exchange. this type of investment is costly to do by the gas suppliers but it can build a good customer relationship between him and his customers and also promote timely delivery of gas to customers. |

The existing LP Gas road tanker stock is in generally very poor condition and is inadequate to cater for an expanding buoyant market. In general the industry needs newer, safer tankers and the services of capable haulage contractors to participate in a rational pattern of primary and secondary road transport distribution. The responsibility for primary transport of LP Gas to the primary depots should be taken on by the company, or companies, operating the depots. Debottlenecking in the port of Lagos will require government intervention. It will be the responsibility of the marketers/ distributors to organize their own transport from the primary depots to their own filling plants throughout the country. |

LP Gas is sold on a self-collect basis and, for urban and peri-urban dwellers, is normally available within about 10 minutes (by vehicle). Kerosene availability is within about 5 minutes. |

A preference for larger (12.5 kg and 50 kg) cylinders may be influenced by concerns about continuity of supply and greater familiarity with these rather than smaller sizes. |

One of the principal barriers to switching to LP Gas for potential customers is the initial cost of the equipment. One cluster in the urban middle-income group stated that they had access to credit. On enquiry however, it was established that these respondents all worked in the same organization and that the staff had set up an incompany cooperative. The majority of respondents did not have access to consumer credit and the survey did not disclose any microfinance or easy payment system which could be relevant to the acquisition of LP Gas equipment. |

A disturbing number of existing LP Gas consumers thought that the product is not safe and this perception extended to nonusers also. Respondents quoted both direct and anecdotal accident experiences. |

Obviously, a range of household LP Gas appliances to meet different needs and budgets is essential for new consumer formation. However, demand will be limited until consumer confidence in LP Gas is reestablished. The initial cost will present problems, particularly in extending LP Gas access for the poor. Much can be learned from experience in other countries about the design and manufacture of household appliances adapted to local cooking practices. |
