LPG from Shell is used for many farming applications. Supplied in bulk storage tanks, it is available even in remoter areas. |

 Poultry Unlike with oil or electricity, the heat produced by LPG is moist - which helps towards providing a more stress free environment for chicks. The correct ambient temperature can be maintained, helping to promote faster growth and more even feathering. With LPG, there is also less risk of a power cut or voltage reduction, no fuel residue and no need to replace heat lamps. |

 Pig rearing Fast-responding LPG radiant heaters are particularly suitable for weaning accommodation, where smaller pigs can get the warmth they need. They can also be used to provide background heating for dry sow and fattening houses, as well as powering mobile pig rearing units. |

Crop drying LPG is a cleaner burning fuel that burns completely, 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 help to reduce maintenance, as there is no soot build-up. Flame weeding Flaming has become a common weed and pest control technique. Propane fired torches produce a high temperature with a cleaner controllable flame just right for the purpose. |

Horticulture and garden centers An LPG system using radiant heat tubes, allows heat to be directed precisely at plant level, helping to save on heating costs. For even greater savings, specific ‘zone control’ can be achieved without the need to maintain the entire floor area at the same temperature. LPG is also ideal for garden centers, as radiant heating can be directed at plants or customers without wastefully heating large spaces. As the system requires little space, more floor area can be devoted to sales. |
