What is a 'bulk plant' in relation to LP-Gas?

A bulk plant refers specifically to a facility designed for the storage and distribution of LP-Gas. These plants play a critical role in the supply chain of propane and other liquefied petroleum gases, as they serve as central locations where large quantities of LP-Gas are stored before being distributed to smaller facilities or directly to users.

At a bulk plant, LP-Gas is typically stored in large tanks and can be transferred into transport vehicles or smaller containers for delivery to customers, which may include residential, commercial, and industrial users. The function of a bulk plant is integral to ensuring an efficient supply of LP-Gas, maintaining appropriate safety standards, and facilitating the management of inventory.

Understanding the specific role of a bulk plant helps clarify its importance in the broader context of the LP-Gas distribution and usage system. Other choices do not align with this definition as they refer to different aspects of LP-Gas handling and sales.
