I would like to inquire about the PESO (Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization) regulations in Maharashtra regarding the storage of liquefied ammonia gas. Specifically, I am interested in understanding the permissible quantity of gas that can be stored, either on a daily or monthly basis, both with and without a license.
Thank you for your assistance.

Under the PESO guidelines for storage of liquefied ammonia gas in Maharashtra, the permissible quantity of gas that can be stored varies based on licensing. As per the Gas Cylinder Rules, 2016, the maximum quantity of ammonia that can be stored without a license is 100kg. If you need to store more than this amount, you will need to obtain a license from the concerned authorities.
To obtain a license, you need to go through the following steps:
1. Submission of an application to the Chief Controller of Explosives (CCOE), Nagpur. The application should include the detailed project report, including details of the proposed storage, handling facilities, safety measures, etc.
2. After the receipt of the application, a preliminary scrutiny is done by the CCOE. If the application is found to be in order, a pre-licensing inspection of the site is conducted.
3. If the site is found suitable, the CCOE issues a No Objection Certificate (NOC). This NOC is required for further statutory clearances from local bodies.
4. After obtaining all statutory clearances, a final inspection of the completed installation is carried out. If everything is in order, the CCOE issues the license for storage of liquefied ammonia gas.
Please remember that the storage of ammonia must be in accordance with the safety measures prescribed in the SMPV (U) Rules, 1981, and the Gas Cylinder Rules, 2016. You can find more details on the PESO website http://www.peso.gov.in.
Please note that this advice is based on my understanding of the PESO guidelines and you should consult with a local legal expert or the relevant government agency for any specific legal advice.
