LPG from Shell is used for many farming applications. Supplied in bulk storage tanks, it is available when and where you need it, even in the most remote areas.

 Poultry A direct fired heating system powered by LPG is far more efficient than any indirect fired system fuelled by oil.Unlike with oil or electricity, the heat produced by LPG is moist - which chicks need for a stress free environment. The correct ambient temperature can be maintained, promoting faster growth and more even feathering. With LPG, there is also no 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 clean burning fuel that burns completely, so there is no chance of grain combustion, water ingress or fuel sediment. It can safely power a direct fired burner and will further reduce costs by prolonging the life of your equipment. Maintenance is also reduced, 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 clean 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, saving 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 required little space, more floor area can be devoted to sales.
