Free State notes on cylinders, safety & special gases
Engineering shops in Bloemfontein's Hamilton and Bloemdustria areas and on the Welkom goldfields rent oxygen, acetylene, argon and CO2 from industrial gas suppliers. Warehouses near Sasolburg and Kroonstad use LPG forklifts on exchange cages. Cylinder theft from farm stores near Ladybrand and Parys means cages and locks are worth asking about. In frost, check hoses for cracks before the season starts.
Gas in Free State
The Free State is farm country with some of the coldest winters on the Highveld, and gas use follows both. LPG comes in by road along the N1 and N3 and from the industrial area near Sasolburg, to dealers and refill stations in Bloemfontein, Welkom, Kroonstad, Bethlehem and Harrismith. Farmhouses heat rooms and water with gas, poultry houses use brooders, and grain farms may dry crops with gas burners. In the eastern highlands around Clarens and Ficksburg, guest houses and restaurants want heaters, fireplaces and patio heaters. Frost and snow on the Maluti side make indoor heaters common, so ventilate the room. Farm deliveries cover long distances, so plan ahead before the cold sets in.
Who asks for gas leak detection and repairs around Free State, most often first:
- Farms and smallholdings: leak tests on brooder lines and burners in poultry houses before a new batch
- Homeowners: a leak call out for a gas smell near the stove, geyser or heater
- Guest houses, lodges and venues: leak checks on chalet geysers and braais between guests and before winter
