Cooking, heating and working on gas in Welkom
Welkom is the centre of the Free State goldfields, a planned town of wide streets and traffic circles surrounded by mine shafts, pans and maize farms. Gas use reflects that mix. Mine contractors and engineering shops in the Welkom industrial area and towards Virginia rent welding and cutting gases, while homes in Riebeeckstad, Flamingo Park and Thabong cook, heat water and warm rooms with LPG. Cylinders arrive by road to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, and delivery reaches farms around Hennenman and Odendaalsrus. Free State winters are frosty, so indoor heaters need a ventilated room and should never burn overnight. Cylinder theft is a concern in parts of town, so ventilated, lockable cages are common.
Typical LPG gas supply requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a 9 kg for the stove, or 48 kg cylinders outside for a gas geyser, hob and heaters
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: forklift cylinder exchanges, welding and industrial gases and bulk LPG for process heat
- Gas installers, plumbers and dealers: cylinders, regulators, fittings and appliances bought as stock for installs of their own
