Q
What are the different gas supply options and which is most suited to my needs?
A

Your gas supply can influence your productivity. 

Frequent handling and changeover of cylinders can increase non-productive time, reduce your efficiency and ultimately increase your operational costs. 

It is essential to choose the gas supply package to match your demand.

When choosing a gas supply package you should consider important factors such a pressure, volume, flow rate and your service requirements.

Further detail can be found in the BOC Gas Supply Packages section.
