AGRICULTURE INDUSTRIES

Agriculture Industries

Farmers globally, rely on various fuels to keep their businesses growing. Gas allows them to compete with the modern agricultural environment easily. Gas is used in the following applications:-

• Crop Protection:  Thermal agriculture uses heat to protect crops from the cold, and flames to eliminate weeds and other germs that can cause serious damage to crops and livestock. Gas is an excellent fuel source for heating, burning, and sanitizing without the use of pesticides.
• Operation of Machinery:  Power is required in the agricultural industry for the operation of machinery. Gas is both an economical and an efficient fuel to power the machines.
• Grain Drying:  Grain drying is an integral part of the farming. Gas is often used as a fuel for drying systems to heat air which dries the grains. Gas is used as it is portable, can be easily stored and is readily accessible in rural areas.
• Livestock Farming:  The farming of livestock is an around the clock work and the requirement of temperature, humidity and air are absolutely essential. Gas provides a level of control, which ensures that animals can be raised in the conditions they require to grow and stay healthy. LPG radiant heaters rapidly rise the temperature which ensures that sheds and brooder houses heated to the optimal temperature which effects feeding, sleeping, weight gain and even feathering.
• Sanitation:  Gas is used for sanitation of pens, machinery and other farm equipment. This promotes healthy animals and prevents the spread of diseases.
• Pesticides Sprayer:  The device uses LPG to vaporize the insecticide. It sprays it out fog killing pests, leaving a safe environment for the crops to grow.
• Remove Weeds:  Weeds reduce farm productivity as invade crops, smother pastures and in some cases harm livestock. LPG – fuelled weed flamers transfer heat to weeds over a short exposure time. The flame does not burn the leaves or does it disrupt the natural photosynthesis process. The weeds wither off in a matter of 2 seconds without injury to the crops. LPG burners are also used to destroy post-harvest debris and create a sterile seed bed for the following crop.
• Greenhouse: Heating is one of the most important factors to consider when growing vegetation in a greenhouse. Without sustainable heating systems in place, the vegetation can be damaged or suffer growth retardation. LPG gas heaters are designed and manufactured for safe operation in moist greenhouse environments. They burn efficiently to radiate heat and provide growth-enhancing CO2.
• Frost Protection: Each year millions of acres of fruit orchards, vineyards and other crop fields risk being subjected to freezing temperatures. LPG heaters are used because of their portability and ability to provide powerful heat with a smaller environmental footprint.
• Poultry Farming: In poultry farming, aspects like temperature, humidity and air renewal are essential. LPG helps provide the environmental factors in a cleaner and efficient manner. LPG radiant heaters ensure that sheds and brooder houses heated to the optimum temperature which in turn influences feeding, sleeping, weight gain and feathering. It powers hot water pressure washers which are used to sanitize pens, machinery and other farm equipment. This promotes health of the poultry and prevents the spread of diseases. LPG is also used for bath heating (cleaning the poultry), steam generation(sterilization) and drying (the poultry)
