What is the expected fill rate of a truck loading propane at a bulk plant?

150 gallons per minute
250 gallons per minute
300 gallons per minute
350 gallons per minute

The correct answer is: 300 gallons per minute

The expected fill rate of a truck loading propane at a bulk plant is typically around 300 gallons per minute. This rate is based on standard industry practices and is designed to ensure efficiency during the loading process while also considering safety regulations and technical limitations associated with handling propane, which is a pressurized gas. The fill rate is critically important for bulk plants as it affects overall operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. Loading at this rate allows trucks to minimize downtime while ensuring that the propane is loaded safely, without causing excessive pressure build-up in the storage tanks or the receiving truck. Factors contributing to this expected rate include the diameter of the hoses and fittings used for transport, the pump capacity, and the safety measures in place to monitor and control the flow of propane during loading. In comparison, the options providing lower or higher fill rates wouldn't reflect the average industry standard for efficient and safe propane loading.
