What is LPG?

LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is a propane fuel source commonly used in homes and businesses across Western Australia and the NT. It’s produced during oil refining or extracted as part of the natural gas production process.

What are gas cylinders?

Cylinders store propane under high pressure in liquid form and transported to premises across the NT and locations outside WA’s natural gas network.

For residential use, properties will typically have two 45KG gas cylinders attached to the gas line on the outside of the home. These cylinders are owned by Kleenheat, with empty vessels collected or replaced with full cylinders whenever the gas supply runs low.

While gas cylinders are connected to homes by a Kleenheat representative, gas is only drawn from one cylinder at a time. This means an empty cylinder can be replaced without disrupting gas supply.
