here in Nigeria, LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) cooking gas uses the mixture of both Butane and Propane at different proportions.

The approved Nigeria LPG (cooking gas) for domestic consumption is 100% Butane (which is wrong, if you ask me), or 85% Butane and 15% Propane, provided Propane is not more than 15%. Some LPG deport supplier ratio ate different e.g some uses a 95% Butane and 5% Propane specification. Others offers a mix ratio of 70% to 30% (this is the best), and 86% to 14%

Yes, it is possible to start up a cooking gas business with only a 50kg and a 12.5kg cylinder. However, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure that your business is successful:

1. Start Small.

Don't try to supply gas to a large number of customers right away. Begin by focusing on a small area and gradually expand your customer base as you grow your business.


2. Build Relationships With Your Customers >>> CONTINUE HERE👇👇

To start a local retail reseller shop in Nigeria, first of all, you need to go for physical learning. Go and learn how to refill. Safety first.


Two 50kg bottles, digital scale and fire extinguisher, including the learning (knowledge). If you need 50kg gas cylinder bottle to buy, just have N85k in hand. However, you may get it less price than this, but N85K is the price you should prepare for.

Can the fuel safety measure be the same with that of LPG or even the LNG gas?

Because initially the safety measures of the vehicle was designed for fuel, now converted to CNG.

In term of safety CNG is more safer than any of the alternative. CNG combustion produces less air pollution than gasoline, and compressed natural gas is also safer than other fuels in the event of a spill, because natural gas is lighter than air and disperses quickly when released.

As taught in chemistry class, I know how flammable natural gas is >>>>>

Thanks for your input.

The conversion to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is not an affordable option for vehicle owners in Nigeria. A kg of CNG is said to be sold at N200 to N230 per kg. However, the installation cost is N400,000 on the average.

You may probably want to install the CNG kit in your vehicle. Affordability is probably the biggest disadvantage of a CNG kit along with the hazardous installation process. The only downside is the installation cost. It's done for about 350k to 450k depends on the weight and size of your car, but at the end you will be the one who will enjoy it the most, because 1kg of CNG is like N200 Naira now and 12 kg is equivalent to full tank of petrol. Imagine that? Thats like N2, 400 Naira for full tank.

There are complicated procedures and
complex wiring required when installing
a CNG kit. Because the CNG kits do require an ECU to install, they can be difficult to setup quickly, and not by anyone, but a professional.

Well, I did say yes. The present administration of president Bola Ahmad Tinubu is already rolling out plans to lunch over 1 million CNG powered vehicles to Nigeria roads, I believe this is a green light. However, since this innovation is new to Nigerians, we can't say just yet.


ADVANTAGES OF CNG OVER PETROL

1. Its Cost effective

2. Its Eco friendly

3. Low running cost

4. Flexibility of bi - fuel usage

5. Higher fuel economy


DISADVANTAGES OF CNG OVER PETROL

1. It has lower performance than petrol....read more disadvantages over on the website. Thanks >>>

First off, CNG is not measured by kg. Here are some technical information so you can understand more.

CNG:

@230/L

15scm = N3,450 Naira = average of 160km travel.


LPG/cooking Gas:

@ N1,000/kg

15kg = N15,000 = avg of 168KM travel.


Petrol:

@600/L or so...

21litres = #12,957 = 168Km travel

I think this will also help Nigerians in the cost savings For the same distance covered (i.e 168km).

When compare prices of Petrol - LPG - CNG:

N12,957 : N15,000 : N3,450 respectively.

Easy ways to check amount of LPG left in your gas cylinder.

Here’s a simple way to check the LPG level in your cylinder
1) Fill a bucket with hot tap water.
2) Slowly pour the hot water (not boiling water) down one side of the gas cylinder.
3) A line of condensation may appear indicating the gas level. If not:
4) Wait a few moments, then feel the side of the gas cylinder where you poured the warm water.
5) You should feel a noticeable cooler change of temperature at the level of the gas.

If you feel no difference, the gas cylinder may be empty. Checking gas levels regularly will let you stay on top of your usage for your cooktop and gas heaters and know when it’s time to check levels and re-order. This process works not just for regular LPG cylinders but for BBQ ones too.

Is It Advisable To Borrow Loan As A Nigerian Farmer To Invest In Agriculture?

Is It Advisable To Borrow Loan As A Nigerian Farmer To Invest In Agriculture?

Don't try it!! Don't even think about it. Start with what you have and setup a farm according to the quality you can afford. Don't ever borrow to start agriculture. That doesn't mean there's no money in it but start with only what you have.

Don't borrow or get loan to start. Not advisable but if at worse you still considering to go for loan it must be from source that will give you some time before you start repaying back and must not be big amount of money. You should consider cash Crops, the one that will produce very well in your locality.

Agriculture is a business and loan is for business. But put it in the crops you know best and make money. All professions have inherent risk. Borrowing to start farming is widening the risk.
The rain may run short, and yeilds dwindle. You can't pay off your loan. Start with what you have, and try to establish yourself before taking a loan for expansion.

* What if part of the loan is used to reduce the risk, like installing irrigation facilities?

Yes when you calculate your risk take responsible one.

All I will advise farmers is to go for loan with moratorium and not too high interest, they could also advertise their farms for people to invest capital with agreed return on investment. Limiting yourself to saving, funds from family and friends are some of the reasons many farmers are still struggling.

I always advise people not to start any business with loan especially if it's your first time in that business. You can start your farm with the little capital you have and grow gradually. Starting a business with loan doesn't always turn out well unless you have good management skills.

It is risky!!

Don't ever borrow to begin what you have not tried before. Start with your fund no matter how small. Learn and acquire skill from your failures and success, then borrow. You don't know anything about farming and the types of crops that you would plant, and you want to borrow money to farming? Start with what you have and gain experience in farming first. Experience they say the best teacher.

I will never advice anyone to borrow money and start it from the beginning... But you can take loan to fund it along if the crop are healthy and if there is prospect.

However, if you must borrow loan for farming, contact nearest bank if agriculture office, that can borrow long-term loans. Also, consider planting any plant that is marketable in your environment. Maize. Of course YES, but you need to be trained very well especially vegetables farming like tomatoes that is very lucrative .Advise you should for rice farming it will help you grow fast. I will also suggest Cassava and Maize but it depend on your location oooo.

Many ask the real function of the net attached with camping gas cylinder bottles. For ladies, most might be thinking that the function of the net is to enhance the beauty of the cylinder.That is not the core function of the net. The core function of the net around the gas cylinder is to prevent the gas cylinder from being scratched when dropped on a rough surface. The net gives the gas cylinder protection against mechanical damage. Now you know, please share with others so that they can know too. It serves as an insulator or cushion to avoid the knocking together of two or more gas cylinders as they are transported. Impact with other cylinders during transportation can cause a spark. This is protection against such incidents.


That's net in my own opinion is for package .

It is easy to recognize a gas leak at home due to its powerful odour. Using your nose is the first step to detect gas leakage. The first hint is if you smell something strange gasous, a choking "Ammonia" smell like rotten eggs or cabbage. LPG contains traces of Ethyl Mercaptan - an odourant, added for the aid in detection of leaks. LPG is highly inflammable, another reason why care should be taken during storage. LPG vapour is heavier than air, so any leakage well sink to the ground and accumulate in low lying areas and may be different to dispenser. Without the addition of an odourant, gas leaks could just spread without being detected. This would create a dangerous condition that could lead to an explosion or fire. Ethyl Mercaptan is a strong smell is often compared to rotten egg. However, unfortunately, Ethyl Mercaptan is not a perfect odorant under some circumstances. It can fade away. Osmosis odorant fade is rare but it can happen.


It is a good idea to remember always to test for leakage everytime you re-connect your gas bottle. Spray the entire regulator, hose assembly and valve with soapy water. Bubbles well form if there is a gas leak. You need to test the entire assembly from the gas bottle valve, all the way to where the gas hose attaches. If you find a leak, turn off the gas bottle immediately. Do not turn back on or attempt to use the gas until the problem is rectified.

How To Make Special Custom Pigtail For The Tank-to-tank Refill Of Gas Cylinder Bottles

You might much be offered by some vendors or similar store can sell you a standard ready made pigtail with the UK POL propane fitting on one end and the appliance fitting on the other. You can have one end of a custom pigtail tired together into one that can actually serve dual purpose. To complete the custom pigtail for a tank-to-tank refill. You will need to start with a spare POL-to-regulator pigtail.

To make the pigtail, you will need a leak-proof hose. Chose to use a long double-bard union hose. This will now allow you to connect the two different kinds of tanks or gas cylinder bottles. Then, cut the pigtail in half and join the NA POL (the hose segment with covered POL fitting in).

NOTE: You need to follow the provided step by step instructions for doing a tank-to-tank refill, following all safety precautions, as this is known to be an illegal refuelling method. This is a slow and somewhat inefficient process.

My choice was to join the other half of that pigtail you cut in half (the one with the invented POL fitting at the end) to the same regulator fitting + hose, and you will be able to have a gas-tight connection between a gas cylinder and your regulator. Good ahead and use your custom tank-to-tank pigtail. The one connecting your gas cylinder valve to the POL installed regulator.

When you build a custom pigtail (self-made), make sure you diligently perform a soapy test each time you work on the propane system. If you are tempted to install a 12.5kg regulator in conjunction with using a 3kg diaphragm type valve, with hose and adapter, keep in mind the regulator well not fix in the cylinder bottle valve. You might want to check with your gas cylinder bottle whether that will work with the connection.

To do a tank-to-tank refill from a 3kg cylinder bottle, you will need to construct another custom pigtail like the one described for the diaphragm valve type, with a POL fitting connector at one end joined to the POL + hose.

SURAKSHA LPG Hose Pipe For Gas Cylinder Bottles

Hose are flexible pipe, made of leather, India rubber, or other material, and used for conveying fluids, especially water, from a faucet, hydrant, or fire engine.

LPG hose is a long and narrow hose that carries LPG gas (commercial Propane or Butane) from a gas cylinder bottle to the appliance being fuelled.

LPG hosepipe are flexible pipe for conveying a liquid or gas. However, LPG gas is known to cause natural rubber and some plastics to deteriorate. This is why only hoses and other equipment specifically designed for LPG should be used. When ordering your hose pipe, it must be of approved rubber tubes and LPG regulator from authorized distributors only.

SURAKSHA LPG hose is recommended by Bharatgas, and registered trade mark of Lerc, Bangalore. With the bold claim of "Your Safety Our Concern", SURAKSHA promised a safe and long lasting experience with its hose pipe. SURAKSHA LPG hose is approved product from the LPG equipment research center in Bangalore, and suitable for all types of gas cylinder bottles. With the 3 wire layer technology, SURAKSHA is sure to deliver on its promise.

A digital scale is always recommended for use at LPG plants. If your gas skid filling system do not come with an attached scale, you should consider getting one. Obtain a digital scale with two dashboard screens. The front view to help you keep watch the gas reading, while the back screen for transparency.

To scale properly, make sure your digital scale is set on a flat, plain level surface floor, and not rested on any object or wall. Do not rest your body on the scale during operation.

Best digital scale, with back and front view, is the CAMRY brand.

PRODUCT: CAMRY

TCS: 150 - JE6228

MAX: 150 KG/330 lb

MIN: 1000 g/ 2.2 lb
d= 50 g

It comes with easy and simple dashboard with TARE, ZERO, ON/OFF, BRIGHTNESS LED and also a long lasting BATTERY. Make sure your digital scale is always fully charged, so it won't shut down all of a sudden during operation. The CAMRY brand comes with a battery level INDICATOR (bar), which allows you to know the percentage level of power remaining before a shutdown.

When scale is not in use, make sure you switch "off" completely. Switching it off from the dashboard won't shut down digital scale, it only puts it in sleep mode. Remember to also switch off from the main terminal, the back circuit. Always use suitable adapter to charge your digital scale, under stable power supply so to avoid damages.

Input: 100 - 240v - 50/60 Hz => 100mA

Output: 6v ----> 500mA

Different types of scale is available for weighing gas cylinder bottles. Just put the gas cylinder bottle on the scale platform, clip in the refilling nozzle. TARE and start refilling. However, modern LPG refilling skid now has digital scale inserted with the gas pump dispenser.

Camping Gas Cylinder plus she image
LPG gas is stored in liquid form in a steel container, cylinder or tank - and connected through a hose pipe from the regulator outlet to your kitchen appliance that is being fuelled. For a permanent use outside the house, LPG tanks/bottles should always be kept in vertical position outdoor and just connected to the appliance by permanent piping. This would greatly reduce the risk of leaks and explosions. For example, if the connection to the cylinder leaks, if outdoor, it usually just dissipates.

When the regulator knob of the BBQ gas cylinder is turned on, it releases the gas into the supply appliance. There is only one way for the gas to flow through the hose pipe and it reaches the gas stove. So, the knob and the regulator are operated by a simple method.

Never leave the gas cylinder bottle connected in "ON" position. Do not leave the regulator in "ON" position after cooking is over or during night. They can blow over the burner and catch fire with any trigger. The valve on the LPG cylinder and the appliance knob allow the gas to pass through the regulator to the gas stove. Always remember to switch "OFF" the LPG cylinder regulator outdoor after cooking, then go to switch "OFF" the appliance switch indoor. Do not switch off the gas stove appliance last, the gas cylinder bottle should be the first thing you turn off, because this then cut off gas supply immediately.

Also, always check the rubber tubes associated with your LPG cylinders. They should not be damaged or found to be leaking.
