LPG in textile industry

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in tanks is ideal for use in textile manufacturing. It is the perfect solution for businesses located in areas without access to natural gas pipelines or for companies looking to switch from their current heat source to a more environmentally friendly and practical fuel.

The gas stored in tanks is used to power high-temperature equipment used to dry fabrics, for example after washing or dyeing. In addition, it can also be used in machines designed for the decatizing process. Decatizing involves subjecting the fabric to hot water, steam, and cold water to shrink the fibers and stabilize them, making the fabric resistant to shrinkage during washing.

The final stages of fabric production often include dyeing, washing, and drying—a necessary step that enables the storage of finished materials by setting their colors or prints. Thanks to the availability of mobile energy in the form of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in tanks, fabric drying facilities can utilize a more environmentally friendly heat source, which translates to lower production costs and reduced emissions of harmful substances, such as sulfur.

Singeing, an essential step in the preliminary treatment of fabric that involves removing loose fibers and protruding yarn fragments by rapidly passing the material over the flame of a singeing torch, results in the production of large amounts of air pollution. Our tanked liquefied gas, however, is characterized by minimal emissions of harmful substances, making it easier to comply with strict EU standards when used in the production process. It is worth noting that gas combustion results in lower CO2 emissions (by 20% compared to fuel oil).
