Gas in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and heavy industry town, and much of its gas goes to the smelters, bulk terminals, workshops and contractors around Alton and the harbour. Forklift cylinders, welding gas and cutting gas are in steady demand from engineering shops and shutdown crews. LPG reaches the town by road along the N2 and through the port area, and is sold by dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with delivery into Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood. Homes cook and heat water with gas, and holiday houses near the lagoon run braais and patio heaters. The hot, humid coast is hard on steel: cylinders and cages rust, so keep them shaded and raised.
Typical 48 kg gas cylinders requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: canteens and process burners where a bulk tank is not yet justified
- Gas installers, plumbers and dealers: installers specifying the cylinder pair when fitting a new gas geyser
