Khaberni - The Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company confirmed that water is not used at any stage of the liquefied gas supply chain, from its production and import to storage and up to its filling at the three gas filling stations owned by the company in Zarqa, Amman, and Irbid.
The company explained, in its comments on a video circulating on social media captured by a citizen showing water inside one of the gas cylinders, that it fills an average of 96,000 cylinders daily throughout the year on a single production line, noting that this number significantly increases to about 250,000 cylinders daily during peak periods and cold weather.
The company confirmed that all these cylinders are filled with water-free gas, adding that if the water had originated from the refinery, it would have appeared in thousands of cylinders filled on the same production line on the same day.
The company emphasized that it has no interest or motive to contain anything in the gas cylinders other than liquefied gas, indicating that its responsibility for the cylinders ends after the filled cylinders leave the premises of the three gas filling stations belonging to it in Zarqa, Amman, and Irbid.
The refinery confirmed that the gas cylinders go through precise inspection and examination stages by qualified technical staff before and after the filling process, and no filled cylinder leaves the company's stations unless it passes the inspections that include the body of the cylinder, the valve, and the quantity of gas filled in it, immediately excluding any cylinder showing defects as soon as they are discovered during the examination.
The company urged citizens to pay attention to the presence of the shrink seal fixed on the cylinder valve and to verify its integrity when purchasing, in addition to inspecting the hose, the leak preventer, and the gas regulator when installing the cylinder.
It was noted that if there is any remark regarding a gas cylinder, one can contact the company's unified complaint number 062221262.
