  1. The History of PropaneThe Discovery • In 1910, Dr. Walter Snelling a chemist and explosives expert for the U.S. Bureau of Mines, was contacted to investigate vapors coming from a gasoline tank on a newly purchased Ford Model T. • Dr. Snelling filled a glass jug with the gasoline and discovered on his way back to the lab that volatile vapors were forming in the jug, causing its cork to repeatedly pop out.After dividing the gas into its liquid and gaseous components, he learned that propane was one component of the liquefied gas mixture

  2. Propane is Processed from two sources: • 20% Crude Oil • 80% “wet” Natural Gas • HD 5 Propane is a mixture of Butane and Propane. • Inside a container there is 100% gas no air.

  3. LP-Gas Characteristics • Will expand when heat is applied • Non-toxic, but presents possible inhalation hazards • When released in a confined space, propane can displace oxygen • Propane weighs 4-1/4 lbs. per gallon

  4. Characteristics of LP-Gas Stored as a Liquid • · Colorless • · Tasteless • · Usually Odorless • vaporizes when exposed to • the atmosphere

  5. Propane is odorless until an odorant called Ethyl Mercaptan is added at 1 pound per 10,000 gallons (one drop per 100-pound cylinder) • This warning agent can be detected by a distinct “rotten eggs” odor

  6. At any temperature above -44 F propane will begin to boil off into a vapor and therefore needs to be stored in a closed container. Leaking liquid propane coming in contact with your skin can cause severe frost bite. LP is stored and handled as a liquid when under pressure inside an LP-Gas Container

  7. Ratio of Expansion Liquid to Vapor - 270 to 1 Propane stored as a gas Propane stored as a liquid

  8. Expansion • It is this expansion factor which makes it more economical to transport and store large quantities of gaseous fuel in a small container. • At any temperature above -44 F propane will begin to boil off into a vapor and therefore needs • to be stored in a closed container. • Leaking liquid propane coming in contact with your skin can cause severe frost bite. • LP is stored and handled as a liquid when under pressure inside an LP-Gas Container • Natural gas does not work in this way.

  9. The Many Uses for Propane: For the Home Heat• Vehicles • Clothes Drying Water Heating •Fireplace (Aesthetics) • Cooking • Lighting •Grilling •Generator •Pool Heating • Propane Torch • Weed Eating • Mosquito control • Garage/Space Heating • Portable heating • Lawn Mower • Refrigeration

  10. For the Farm • Vehicles• Farm Equipment • Crop drying• Crop Cultivation • Pest Control• Propane Cannon (Noise for Pests) • Tractors• Animal Husbandry • Heating Barns• Refrigeration
