Why Propane in the agricultural industry?
The agricultural industry is facing challenging and politically uncertain times, and so keeping costs down and improving efficiency is more important than ever – and we’re here to help. Not only does Propane offer significant advantages for many agricultural applications, but when you work with Flash Gas, you’ll have a team of industry experts on your side.
Poultry
Unlike heat from oil or electricty, the heat produced by Propane is moist – which helps create a more stress-free environment for chicks. Maintaining the correct ambient temperature helps promote growth and even feathering.
Pig rearing
Fast-responding Propane radiant heaters are particularly suitable for weaning accommodation, where pigs can get the warmth they need. They can also provide background heating for dry sow and fattening houses, as well as mobile pig rearing units.
Crop drying
Propane is a cleaner burning fuel than many alternatives, so there is less chance of grain combustion, water ingress or fuel sediment. It can safely power a direct-fired burner and can help reduce costs by prolonging the life of your equipment. It can also reduce maintenance, as there is no soot build-up.

A propane system using radiant tubes allows heat to be directed precisely at plant level, saving on heating. For even greater savings, specific zone control can free you from having to maintain the same temperature over the entire floor area, with the added benefit of more floor area for sales.
Flame weeding
Flaming has become a common weed and pest control technique. Propane-fired torches produce a high temperature with a clean controllable flame just right for the purpose, and reducing your reliance on potentially environmental damaging chemicals.
