Evidence first.
A better-informed decision.

The following publications provide dated context. The site’s own pressure, interruption and consumption records remain the basis for an operating decision.

A BSS report of 30 September 2026 discussed improvements in gas supply and industrial production alongside continuing constraints. Translate that national context into the site’s actual pressure and interruption history. BSS report

In June 2025, the World Bank reported that LNG supplied more than a quarter of Bangladesh’s gas consumption. A factory’s feasible alternatives still depend on its own access, delivered cost and continuity requirements. World Bank energy security update

The BPC chart uses three FY2024–25 import categories from the published dataset. Grouped refined products include Jet A1, SKO, mogas, HSD and marine fuel. These figures exclude LNG and LPG and are not total national fuel demand.

Gas-sector investment also includes monitoring and asset information. The World Bank’s April 2026 market-engagement notice addressed SCADA and GIS at ten PGCL gas stations. Reliable asset records and a defined operator need are useful starting points for similar assignments. World Bank / PGCL market engagement

A purchase unit is not a unit of useful process heat. Convert delivered price using a consistent calorific-value basis and the equipment’s useful-heat efficiency.

Use either LHV or HHV consistently for both fuels. Add auxiliary electricity and relevant operating costs to a defined annual model; assess capital and finance separately before combining them.

Test low, expected and high price assumptions using actual delivered offers and taxes. Household cylinder prices, old tariffs and international benchmarks do not automatically describe a factory’s purchase price.

A high fuel-only cost can still have continuity value during an interruption. Assess that value against evidence of the contribution margin protected, not revenue alone.

Compare direct LPG and other feasible backup routes before selecting LPG-air SNG. The equipment must accept the gas properties and operating range.

Review site area, tanker access, storage, vaporization, blending, isolation, controls, fire protection, approvals and operating competence. Compare supplier proposals on the same capacity and performance basis.

Agree who funds and owns the equipment, purchases fuel, maintains the installation and carries price or minimum-volume exposure. Acceptance testing and permissible operating conditions belong in the agreement.

State the outcome and work boundary, then provide the drawings, equipment information, utilities, site conditions and delivery window available to support a bid.

Identify shutdown restrictions and the mandatory procurement process. Ask bidders to explain exclusions, design responsibility, customer inputs, inspection needs, spares, training, warranty and acceptance tests.

A common requirement makes differences in price and responsibility visible. A collection of differently scoped lump sums does not provide the same comparison.
