The first presentation was delivered by the Sales Department, focusing on research to establish standard ratios for LPG composition in Gas South’s cylinder products. Based on consumer demand and the Company’s aspiration to supply the market with high-quality and consistent products at efficient and reasonable prices, the Sales Department conducted a study on LPG quality, evaluating and proposing Gas South’s standard ratio for various sources.
