Propane is an ideal source of energy. Propane has a high value for energy and efficiency. A propane flame does not soot and it does not emit sulphur, heavy metals or poisonous gases. At ideal burning conditions the fume gases consist of water and carbon dioxide alone.
Propane is a flexible fuel. Heating is the most common application in industry and can be found in glass, steel and porcelain factories. Propane is also used for melting, tempering, annealing, drying, soldering…oxy-fuel burners means it is used in almost all industries.
Clean burning characteristics make propane a good gas for forklifts and other trucks that operate inside warehouses and factories because it provides non-oxious exhaust gases and give more power than batteries. Propane is commonly used by forklifts and ice machines (within winter sports), as well as for other transport vehicles used indoors.
When propane is used at greenhouses both heat and carbon dioxide is formed, two factors important for the speed of growing and for the volume of the harvest.
Within industry propane is used for intensive heat radiators, for cutting, within production of ceramics and also for hardening of concrete.
Construction industry is using propane for space heating in general to enable work on projects during winter months, and for heating of bitumen pavements to be repaired.
Propane has a high calorific value making it a key gas for cooking, barbequing and heating at home as well as at restaurants, cafes and mobile catering vans. It is preferred to electricity by professional chefs.
