Consumers across South Africa are becoming increasingly aware of the advantages that liquefied petroleum gas has to offer. This has led to more companies and individuals entering the LPG equipment supply market, offering consumers with substandard and unregulated services. It is unfortunate that there are many organisations and individuals participating in the marketplace with little or no regard for existing standards and parameters regulating the market.

Uncertain electricity supply, along with a rise in electricity costs are two of the biggest factors spurring on the popularity of LPG systems across South Africa. It is also why more and more consumers are looking at affordable and alternative energy sources. This has led to an increase in illegal filling and use of gas installations and cylinders, especially in South Africa’s largest cities.

These flyby night companies and uninformed individuals will purchase LPG equipment from a refinery and then redistribute it. There is a clear lack of investment in their infrastructure to undertake this distribution, such as using their own cylinders. Instead, they use LPG equipment belonging to other companies. They then fill these cylinders, which they brand with their own company’s logo and supply it to unsuspecting consumers.

The gas cylinders are often overfilled since incorrect equipment is used, with unskilled labour at the helm of operations. This practice places the consumer at risk. Overfilled cylinders are hazardous if exposed to excessive heat. It is because of this that industry best practices dictate that cylinders should be filled to 80% of its capacity, as it allows for the expansion of gas in the cylinder.

Technology keeps growing and growing to help and further the human race. There is a new technology out on the market, the explosive vapour detector, which has been designed to “sniff” out even the minutest trace of explosives. Yes, sniff – much like the bomb or narcotic sniffing dogs would do. (more…)

Liquefied petroleum gas is being used to replace substances which have been proven to be harmful to the earth’s ozone layer. And that is just one benefit! (more…)

Liquid petroleum gas has steadily been replacing chlorofluorocarbons, petrol and diesel in a number of applications. The main reasons why this is would be due to the fact that it is a much cleaner energy source so it leaves less of a negative impact on the environment. LPG equipment allows us to make use of liquid petroleum gas for our household applications, outdoor applications and for motor vehicles. (more…)

All LPG filling equipment is not created equal. Always choose the best equipment – the risk of not doing so is just too big. (more…)

Unlike a human nose, the hand held explosive detector cannot be fooled by other smells that might permeate the surrounding environment. A detector is not a nose in the same sense we as people perceive it to work. Human and animal olfactory glands react to the presence of molecules in the air and the brain interprets that reaction as a smell, usually as good or bad. Animals, dogs especially, have more of these olfactory sensors thus the reason why they can smell things that people cannot. But technology has no brain to teach, so how does it know that there are explosives present? It uses a chemical detector that samples all the chemical molecules in the air. (more…)

Explosive detector manufacturers play a very important part within different sectors of any community. Explosive detector manufacturers design and develop different types of devices which have the ability to detect any sort of explosive material. Explosive detector manufacturers prove to be extremely beneficial and provide a service to everyone around the entire world. Most of the important benefits that explosive detector manufacturers provide to a community will be discussed. (more…)

Visual Docking Guidance System, VDGS, is a system compiled of different electronics which are used to help pilots dock their aircraft correctly. Correct docking is very important because it accurately aligns the aero-bridge with the aeroplane’s door. (more…)

In a world where terror has become a reality in the everyday lives of many people, explosive detection devices are essential. It saves lives, everywhere.

There is a lot of happiness in the world, but the world is not always a happy place. History teaches us that there has been conflict in the world as far back as can be traced by historians – much research has been done and many books written about wars and battles that have been fought. (more…)
