The Bangladesh government is focused on LPG to meet the natural gas deficit in the country. LPG will be next generation house hold energy source in Bangladesh because the use of LPG increases dramatically. Although commercially LPG was launched in the world in 1912, the LPG production in the Bangladesh started in 1978 when the LPG recovery unit at Eastern Refinery Limited (ERL) was set up in Chattogram by Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC). LAUGFS Gas Ltd Bangladesh was the first private sector LPG import and distribution company in the country in 1997. There are about 25 private companies whose are the only state-owned LP Gas Limited, including two foreign ones LAUGFS and Totalgaz, are operating in the local market. It is also recognized as the government of Bangladesh has granted 53 companies licence, according to industry insiders. LPG's demand in Bangladesh was approximately 750,000 MT at financial year in 2017-2018 and in future 2025 it would be 2700,000 MT. The popular medium for LPG consumption is 80% of households, which are supplied in cylinders under the 5kg, 12kg, and 33kg pack sizes depending on the consumption pattern of the end-user. According to the data from Bangladesh Fire Service and Civil Defense (BFSCD), the LPG gas cylinder blast in 2017-18 caused about 1,250 accidents in which 98 people were killed and 1,450 injured. The extent of this loss can be eliminated if we can use the LPG reticulation system. This point of view this context, we are proposing to introduce LPG reticulation system within Jashore University of Science and Technology area. The main purpose of this paper is to show a designing LPG reticulation system model for Jashore University of Science and Technology area.
