LPG & horticulture

Before you can heat your plants you have to warm the air around them, a very expensive business with conventional heating. With radiant tubes on an LPG system, you can direct heat precisely at plant level - saving on heating costs. For even bigger cost savings, you can achieve zone control so that the entire floor area need not be maintained at the same temperature.

A direct fired heating system powered by Shell Gas LPG will keep your hothouse warm. Not forgetting that CO2 produced in burning the gas, can be injected into the greenhouse to improve the growth rate of many crops.

Garden Centres and Nurseries Radiant tube heating fired by by LPG is an ideal heat source for the garden centre. It directs heat precisely to plants or customers without wastefully heating large spaces and, as the system takes up very little floor space, you can have more of your floor devoted to sales.

Flame Weeding In Europe, flaming has become a common weed and pest control technique. Propane fired torches produce a high temperature, clean, controllable flame just right for the purpose.
